Lake Powell Fishing April 15, 2018

Smallmouth, largemouth & walleye are the “go to fish” for the rest of the month. Smallmouth are on the edges in cover and broken ledges. Largemouth are close by and by next week we will see some of the bigger fish in 15-20″ range. You will find Walleye while fishing for Smallmouth and Largemouth. Had an exceptional day with guests from CT and MI. My CT Guests were pursing stripers but stripers had gone deep due to the cold fronts so we readjusted to fishing Read More +

Lake Powell Spring Fishing by Capt. Bill McBurney

Fishing Thoughts~Spring Lake Powell by Capt. Bill Every beginning starts about the same at Lake Powell but there are variables. This year we have a huge carry over of 2 dominate bait fish being thread fin and gizzard shad. The north end will produce more threadfin and the south more gizzard and some threadfin. How do you like to catch them? If fly fishing May & June in the back of canyons I recommend in the the south half and sometimes in early July for Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report by Ambassador Guides 5-14-17

Lake Powell Elevation : 3608.45 Water Temp:  67 degrees Small mouth stripers and few good walley these last few weeks are very hungary.  The quality stripers are out there and move around so it’s a hunt to various locations hunting those fish (too many fish in the striper pool). Ambassador will not not keep poor underweight fish just the good ones for the best “table fare” for those who want to keep.  I have been fly fishing, spin fishing and trolling and some bait!. It’s Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing 10-1-16 by Capt. Bill

Lake Powell Fishing Report – Capt. Bill 9-6-16

Marie from Conneticut 9-3-16 Water Temps: 75-78 Lake Powell Elevation:3613.45     Striper boils on south end are like playing poker “luck of the draw”. It is best to leave very early and beeline it to the mouth of the San Juan and give it your best. I am catching some nice smallmouth mornings tube fishing and starting to fly fish and spin over stripers and chumming for them. I am guessing another 3-4 weeks for boiling action to improve but still a wait and Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report August 7, 2016 by Capt. Bill McBurney

Lake Powell Elevation 3617.43 Lake Powell water is 84 degrees in the shad which means you to be patient and persistent over deep water anchovie fishing 50-100′ and then it is a soft pressure bite mainly.  Lake Powell is at a good level for shad to take refuge in the bush and the back of canyons.  I anticipate a good Fall and Winter for catching stripers.  Smallmouth in the the hot weather are around the 25-40 feet depth and you want the bait scratching the Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report by Wayne Gustaveson July 19, 2016

Lake Powell Fish Report – July 19, 2016 Lake Elevation: 3620 Water Temperature: 77 – 83F Stripers have moved out of the main channel and toward the backs of canyons. The move indicates that the shad food source has been well used in open water of the channel and bays. Slurping stripers have been relentless in pursuit of small newly-hatched shad.   Those shad that have survived are seeking a sanctuary in the brush that now lines the shoreline.  Shad have a better chance of avoiding predation if Read More +
