Guide to Fishing at Lake Powell

The changing waters of lake powell: a prelude to adventure.

As we set our sights on the fishing opportunities at Lake Powell, a jewel of the American Southwest nestled within the vast landscapes of red rock canyons, it’s crucial to begin with an understanding of the lake’s heartbeat: its water levels.

The fluctuating waters of Lake Powell not only tell the story of the region’s climate challenges but also shape the experiences of those who visit its expansive shores.

Recent years have seen Lake Powell’s water levels ebb and flow in response to the intricate dance of precipitation, runoff, and human management. These changes are a testament to the natural and man-made forces acting upon the Colorado River Basin.

For anglers, boaters, and nature enthusiasts alike, the water levels at Lake Powell are more than just numbers—they are a guide to navigating the possibilities and challenges of the lake’s vast aquatic playground.

Last year, on March 21st, 2023, Lake Powell’s water level was significantly lower compared to today, March 21st, 2024. Here’s a breakdown:

• This year (2024):  3,560.21 feet MSL
• Last year (2023):  Around 3,521 feet MSL (based on news articles mentioning historic lows in February 2023)

There’s an increase of roughly 39.23 feet this year compared to last year.

For a more precise comparison, you can check the Lake Powell Water Database Lake Powell water data ON Lake Powell Water Database lakepowell.water-data.com  which has historical data.

Before you pack your rods, reels, and hopes for the catch of a lifetime, it’s essential to seek out the latest information on Lake Powell’s water levels. This knowledge will not only ensure your safety and enjoyment but also deepen your appreciation for the delicate balance of natural resources we are privileged to enjoy.

As we embark on this exploration of Lake Powell’s fishing realms, let’s stay informed, adaptable, and respectful of the waters that connect us to this extraordinary landscape.

Is the fishing good at Lake Powell?

Lake Powell is renowned for its excellent fishing opportunities, making it a popular destination for anglers. The lake’s vast expanse, with its deep waters and myriad of coves and inlets, provides a rich habitat for a variety of fish species. Here are some key points about fishing at Lake Powell:

• Diverse Fish Population: Lake Powell is home to a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass (stripers), walleye, crappie, catfish, and bluegill. This diversity offers anglers a chance to target different types of fish, depending on their preference and fishing techniques.
• Year-Round Fishing: The lake is accessible for fishing year-round, though the best times to fish can vary depending on the species. For example, spring and fall are often cited as the best seasons for bass fishing, while stripers can be caught throughout the year.
• Stunning Scenery: Apart from the fishing, Lake Powell’s breathtaking landscapes, with its clear blue waters contrasted against red rock canyons, make the experience even more enjoyable.
• Challenges and Rewards: Fishing in Lake Powell can be both challenging and rewarding due to the fluctuating water levels and the need to understand the habits of the fish in this unique environment. Knowledge about where fish tend to congregate, such as near structures or in deeper waters during the hotter months, can significantly improve your chances of a successful outing.
• Regulations and Conservation Efforts: It’s important to be aware of the local fishing regulations, which are in place to ensure the sustainability of the lake’s fish populations. These may include limits on the number of fish that can be kept, the size of fish, and specific rules for different species.

Given these points, many anglers find Lake Powell to be an excellent fishing destination, offering both a challenge and a rewarding experience. Lake Powell has something to offer if you’re an experienced angler or new to fishing.

What kind of fish are at Lake Powell?

Lake Powell is a haven for anglers due to its diverse fish population. The lake supports a variety of species that cater to different fishing techniques and preferences. Here are some of the primary types of fish you can find at Lake Powell:

• Striped Bass (Stripers): Perhaps the most famous residents of Lake Powell, striped bass are known for their size and the challenge they present to anglers. They can be caught using various methods, including trolling, bait fishing, and casting lures.
• Smallmouth Bass: Smallmouth bass are another popular target for fishermen at Lake Powell. They are known for their fighting spirit and are typically found around rocky structures and shallow waters.
• Largemouth Bass: While not as abundant as smallmouth bass, largemouth bass can still be found in Lake Powell. They prefer warmer, quieter waters, often near brush or other cover.
• Walleye: Walleye are prized for their taste and can be a bit more elusive, making them a rewarding catch. They are often found in deeper, cooler waters, especially during the summer months.
• Crappie: Crappie can be found in Lake Powell, particularly in areas with submerged brush or tree cover. They are a popular catch in the spring.
• Catfish: Both channel catfish and blue catfish inhabit Lake Powell. They are often targeted at night and can be found in various environments, from shallow flats to deeper channels.
• Bluegill and Other Sunfish: Bluegill and other panfish species offer a fun fishing experience, especially for families and beginner anglers. They can be caught with simple gear and are often found near shorelines and in protected bays.

Whether you’re after the thrill of catching a large striper or enjoying a leisurely day targeting panfish, Lake Powell has opportunities for all types of anglers.

Where is the fish cleaning station at Lake Powell?

At Lake Powell, you can find fish cleaning stations at various marinas, ensuring you have a convenient spot to prepare your catch. Specifically, Bullfrog Marina offers a range of services including a fish cleaning station. This marina, located in Utah, provides a wide range of amenities for boaters and fishermen alike, such as boat ramps, slips, gas stations, lodging, a campground, picnic area, marinas, grocery store, and a gift shop​​​.

These facilities are part of the effort to make your fishing experience at Lake Powell as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. Whether you’re returning from a successful fishing trip or just enjoying the water, these stations are designed to add convenience to your adventure. Remember to check the current operating hours and any specific regulations or recommendations before heading out, as these can vary by season and are in place to ensure both safety and sustainability.

Where is the best fishing at Lake Powell?

Finding the best fishing spots at Lake Powell can depend on the time of year, water conditions, and the type of fish you’re targeting. However, some areas are renowned for their fishing quality and scenic beauty, attracting anglers from all over. Here are a few spots known for excellent fishing at Lake Powell:

• Padre Bay: One of the largest bays on Lake Powell, Padre Bay offers diverse fishing opportunities, including smallmouth and largemouth bass, and is known for its stunning natural beauty.
• Bullfrog Marina Area: This area is convenient due to its accessibility and services, including a fish cleaning station. It’s a good spot for catching smallmouth bass, striped bass, and catfish.
• The San Juan Arm: This is a fertile area known for its abundance of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and crappie. Its remote location makes it less crowded, offering a peaceful fishing experience.
• Halls Creek Bay: Another excellent spot for smallmouth bass, Halls Creek Bay also offers opportunities to catch largemouth bass and walleye. Its clear waters and scenic backdrop make it a favorite among anglers.
• Warm Creek Bay: Known for striped bass and smallmouth bass, Warm Creek Bay provides ample fishing spots along its shores and deeper waters.
• Glen Canyon Dam Area: Near the dam, the deep waters are home to large striped bass and walleye. Fishing near the dam can be particularly good in the spring and fall.
• Dangling Rope Marina: Accessible only by water, this area is less pressured and can provide excellent fishing for striped bass and smallmouth bass. It’s also a good spot to refuel and restock supplies while on the lake.

Remember, the “best” spot can vary based on current conditions, fish behavior, and what you’re hoping to catch. Local marinas and fishing guides can offer up-to-date advice on where the fish are biting and which techniques are working best. Always check the latest regulations and have a valid fishing license for the area.

What is the best time of year to fish Lake Powell?

The best time of year to fish at Lake Powell largely depends on the species you’re targeting, but in general, fishing can be productive year-round due to the lake’s mild climate and diverse habitat. However, there are peak times for certain types of fishing:

• Spring (March to May): Spring is considered one of the best times for fishing at Lake Powell, as the water starts to warm up, and fish become more active and move into shallower waters. This is an excellent time for bass fishing, including both largemouth and smallmouth bass, as they are in pre-spawn and spawn periods.
• Summer (June to August): Fishing can be challenging during the hottest parts of the day in summer, but early morning and late evening can be very productive, especially for striped bass and catfish. Night fishing is also popular during the summer months to avoid the heat and catch catfish and bass.
• Fall (September to November): As the water begins to cool, fish become more active again, making fall another great time for fishing at Lake Powell. This period is known for excellent smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. Striped bass also become more aggressive as they prepare for winter, providing good opportunities for anglers.
• Winter (December to February): Winter fishing can be surprisingly good, especially for striped bass and walleye, although you’ll need to be prepared for cooler weather. Fishing pressure is much lower during this time, which can lead to a peaceful and productive fishing experience.

While these are general guidelines, the best time for fishing can also depend on weather conditions, water levels, and other environmental factors. It’s a good idea to check recent fishing reports or contact local marinas for current information before planning your trip.

Does it cost to fish at Lake Powell?

Here’s a chart detailing the fees for different fishing licenses at Lake Powell, covering both Utah and Arizona. 

These fees are approximate and subject to change, so it’s a good idea to verify the current rates through official state websites or local fishing authorities before making your purchase.

Because Lake Powell spans the border between Utah and Arizona, you need to be aware of where you are fishing on the lake to ensure you have the correct state’s license. In some cases, anglers who plan to fish in both states may choose to purchase licenses from both Utah and Arizona to cover all areas of Lake Powell they wish to explore. ​​

Is there another charge for entering Lake Powell? 

In addition to fishing license fees, there are entry fees for accessing Lake Powell, which is part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Here’s a chart detailing these entry fees:

These fees are for entrance into the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which includes Lake Powell. They’re separate from any fishing license fees and are applicable whether you’re visiting for fishing, boating, or other recreational activities. The fees help support the maintenance and preservation of the park. Note that fees are approximate and subject to change, so it’s a good idea to check the latest information before your visit. ​​

What if I’m having too much fun fishing and I want to camp is there camping at lake Powell?

Yes, Lake Powell offers numerous camping opportunities, ranging from developed campgrounds with amenities to more remote and primitive beach camping areas along the lake’s shoreline. Here’s an overview of the camping options at Lake Powell:

Developed Campgrounds

• Wahweap Campground: Located near the Wahweap Marina in Arizona, this campground offers RV and tent sites with amenities like restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and a convenience store. It’s a great option for those looking for comfort while being close to the lake.
• Bullfrog Campground: Situated near the Bullfrog Marina in Utah, this campground provides RV and tent sites with access to similar amenities as Wahweap, including restrooms and showers. It’s an ideal base for exploring the northern parts of Lake Powell.
• Halls Crossing RV and Campground: Also in Utah, this facility offers basic RV and tent camping sites with access to the marina services at Halls Crossing, including a launch ramp, store, and restrooms.

Primitive Camping

• Shoreline Camping: Lake Powell is unique in that it allows shoreline camping in many areas along the lake, accessible by boat. This option offers a more primitive and adventurous experience, allowing campers to find their own secluded spot along the lake’s extensive shoreline. There are no facilities in these areas, so campers need to be self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles to protect the environment.

Camping Fees and Reservations

• Developed Campgrounds: Fees vary by site and amenities. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak season, and can be made through the National Recreation Reservation Service or the marinas’ websites.
• Primitive Camping: Typically requires a fee for a camping permit, which can be obtained at the marinas or entrance stations. The permit system helps manage the impact on the environment and ensures campers follow the guidelines for waste disposal and campsite use.

Whether you’re looking for the convenience of a developed campground or the adventure of primitive beach camping, Lake Powell offers a range of options to suit different preferences. It’s always a good idea to plan ahead, check the latest conditions and regulations, and make reservations where necessary to ensure a smooth and enjoyable camping experience.

How about a boat? Can I fish from a boat? Are there any restrictions on motor size?

Yes, fishing from a boat is a very popular way to fish at Lake Powell. The lake’s vast size and the variety of fish habitats make it an ideal place for boat fishing. You can access deeper waters and more remote fishing spots that might be inaccessible from shore.

Boat Fishing at Lake Powell

• Boat Launches: There are several boat launches around Lake Powell, including those at Wahweap, Bullfrog, Halls Crossing, and Antelope Point marinas. These facilities provide easy access to the water for boats of various sizes.
• Boat Rentals: If you don’t have your own boat, boat rentals are available at the marinas. Options range from small fishing boats to larger houseboats, providing flexibility for different fishing needs and group sizes.

Restrictions and Regulations

• Motor Size: There are no specific restrictions on motor size for boats on Lake Powell. However, all boaters must comply with applicable safety regulations, including those concerning speed and operation near shorelines, marinas, and other boats.
• Safety and Environmental Regulations: Boaters are required to follow all safety regulations, including having the appropriate safety equipment on board. Additionally, efforts to prevent the spread of invasive species, such as quagga mussels, are taken very seriously. Boats must be clean, drained, and dry before entering Lake Powell to prevent contamination.
• Fishing Regulations: While fishing from a boat, you must adhere to the fishing regulations set by the states of Utah and Arizona, depending on where you are on the lake. This includes having a valid fishing license for the appropriate state and following all size and bag limit regulations.
• Boating Under the Influence: Operating a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal and subject to strict penalties.

When planning to fish from a boat at Lake Powell, it’s essential to check the latest regulations from the National Park Service and state wildlife agencies. This ensures a safe and enjoyable experience while helping to preserve the lake’s natural beauty and fish populations.

Does it cost to fish from a boat?

Fishing from a boat at Lake Powell itself does not incur additional specific fees beyond the usual costs associated with boating and fishing there. However, there are several costs you should consider when planning to fish from a boat:

• Boat Launch Fees: If you’re launching your own boat, you may need to pay a launch fee at some marinas or boat ramps. This fee is typically separate from the entrance fee to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
• Boat Rental Fees: If you don’t own a boat and plan to rent one, rental fees will apply. These fees vary depending on the type of boat (fishing boat, pontoon, houseboat, etc.) and the rental period (half-day, full-day, multiple days).
• Fishing License: Regardless of whether you’re fishing from shore or a boat, you need a valid fishing license from either Utah or Arizona, depending on where you are fishing on the lake. The cost of the license depends on your residency status and the duration of the license.
• Entrance Fee to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: There’s an entrance fee for accessing Lake Powell, which is part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This fee is charged per vehicle or per person, depending on how you enter the area.
• Boat Fuel: Don’t forget to account for the cost of fuel for your boat, which can vary widely depending on the size of your boat and how far you plan to travel on the lake.
• Boat Inspection Fee: In efforts to combat the spread of invasive species such as quagga mussels, some locations may charge a fee for boat inspections or require a decontamination process, especially if you’re bringing a boat from outside the area.
• Camping Fees: If you plan to camp on the lake overnight in your boat (e.g., if you have a houseboat), camping fees or permits may be required, particularly for developed campgrounds or specific areas designated for camping.

It’s essential to budget for these costs when planning your fishing trip to Lake Powell. Prices and regulations can change, so it’s a good idea to check with the relevant authorities or marinas for the most current information before your trip.

Personal Experience: An Unforgettable Fishing Journey at Lake Powell

“Every year, I eagerly anticipate my vacation to Lake Powell, timing my visits for when the lake’s Fun session is just finishing and its less crowded. On one particularly memorable trip, we set up camp at the lake’s upper reaches near Hite—an area that promises both solitude and splendor. It was here, amidst the serene backdrop of towering canyons and expansive waters, that we embarked on our fishing adventure.

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.

Explore Russian Summer Life: Visit Russian Dacha!

People from Northern countries soak up every bit of pleasure out of summertime. Its days are numbered, and we do our best to store up the sunshine for the long, cold months that make up the rest of the year. Russians are among those who take full advantage of the brief, hot weather.

At summer’s peak, many Russians don’t venture far. The reason is dachas , our country houses. August brings the harvest for our small garden plots, but a dacha is much more than just an economic benefit: it embodies a culture dating back to Communist times.

The dachas is a unique phenomenon in the life of anyone who lives in the boundless expanses of the Russian Federation. A small plot – just 0.15 acres – with a few currant bushes, apple trees and a vegetable patch, a little wooden house with no telephone or running water and a discreetly located outhouse. I’d love to how you mine.

How we’ll get there:

I believe that it’ll be fun to experience the Russian suburban train (electrichka), which is very popular in our country. Electrichka is inexpensive and it might even be faster than a car as it doesn’t depend on the traffic. Travelling by commuter train you’ll be able to see ordinary people and possibly talk with them. Sometimes trains offer you such “free entertainment” as listening to numerous vendors and musicians. But local trains might be crowded at certain times of the day so in some cases we’d recommend you to go with us by car.

What we’ll do:

We start the trip with the tour of Dmitrov , an ancient Russian town, founded in 1147 and called Moscow younger brother. It is located 1 hour drive out of Moscow.

Learning how to prepare a Russianlunch:

First you choose the right meat, then the right recipe for the marinade.The fire has to be started and allowed to burn down until it’s almost out, but still smouldering. If you catch it at that moment, then the meat will roast evenly and not burn.

Meanwhile, the fire keeps threatening to go out, compelling family and guests to furiously fan it with pieces of cardboard. We serve sashlik with baked potatoes, pickled vegetables and of course Russian vodka. Lunch is followed by traditional Russian tea drinking .

You’ll be so involved, you won’t even notice when it’s time to go back to the city.

The tour cost is 200 USD.

Tour price is for 2 people but I can accommodate up to 6 people in this tour, however the price will change.

Transportationis extra.

Tour duration: 8 hours

The Assumption Belfry and Ivan the Great Bell Tower

View from a corner of Assumption Cathedral on the architectural ensemble of the Assumption Belfry (at the left) and Ivan the Great Bell Tower (at the right) built in the Moscow Kremlin in 16th century. The tower’s name implies that it had once housed St. John’s Church, and that it used to be the tallest building in Moscow (height with cross is about 80 m). For many decades the bell tower was also the main watchtower in the Kremlin, and later also a fire tower. Petrok Maliy, the Italian architect who built the Kitai-Gorod wall in Moscow, started the construction of the church of the Resurrection, later renamed Church of the Nativity, next to the Ivan the Great Tower in 1532. Decades later was converted to a four-tier belfry for large bells, known today as the Assumption Belfry after its main 64-ton bell placed in the middle of the fourth tier. The Assumption bell tolled only on great holidays and to announce events of exceptional significance.
