Lake Powell Elevation: 3633.56 Water temp 90’s 40 miles up Lake is the sweet spot for baite fishing drifting anchovies. With storm swim baits and fly fishing clausers. Boils are scarce with full moons and evening fishing dusk till dark is best for this. Water temps need to drop 15 degrees for longer top water action fishing baits. My last 3 trips have been excellent. Here is photo (a bit fuzzy with glare from water) of Justin fly fishing Wednesday. We did very well. Look 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 Fish Report – September 21, 2016 Lake Elevation: 3611.26 Water Temperature: 73 – 75 F I made it back on the water this week after successful knee surgery.

I can highly recommend my techniques for improving knee strength and movement which include: trolling while sitting down with the knee elevated. (I Read More +

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 +

Bransen Jackson, Kanab UT, was given the enviable task of catching striped bass with his fly rod.

Fishing Report October 8, 2014 with Capt. Bill
Fly Fishing 10/8/14 with Richard Hargis from Utah The days scenario fishing Powell is a 50/50 possibility for Stripers. If you hit the schools on top then two people can bag 10 to 20 fish in and hour fishing conventional. Fly fisherman can cut that equation in half. The fish are fat and strong with 1 1/2 inch fillets for the table. The rest of the day would be looking for small mouth unless where presented with another boil of course the hopefully Read More +
