Yes it is amazing!! Beyond words or pictures imo...Most of it is incredibly remote and rugged and only accessible by H2O. When it's full there is more than 2200 miles of shoreline.. I've been on numerous houseboat trips with either other couples or guys trips and always hate to leave!! Also fished a few tournaments over the years when I was living in Colorado..You can catch all the stripers you want...anchovies dropped down in the shadows of 500 ' cliffs is pretty cool and non stop action...As for the bass..there are plenty of 1-2.5 lbs smallies, spots and largemouth to keep you busy . The water is usually very clear and best lures for me have been tubes , Yamamoto twin tail grubs and dropshot... When not fishing there are plenty of Indian ruins to check out and short hiking trails in every canyon. We would rent a house boat either out of Waweap Marina in Arizona or Bullfrog Marina in Utah and drag the fishing boats and toys behind to a beach of our choosing...anchor the houseboat and let the fun begin!..

Yes, it's amazing. The fishing can be outstanding, very little pressure. The bass aren't as big (lake record is just over 10 lbs), but the action can get furious and the lake is huge.

never got to fish it but we ended our colorado river raft trips at bullfrog marina.
guy on the lake had a 30' aluminum center console with a drop front, load all our gear and people and boat ride most of the length of the lake.
he had some good power in the boat, pr. of in/outs and it could easily do 50+ loaded.

You let team politics keep you from fishing a place you would otherwise want to fish?
Man, I gave up all things politics when my friends and family all became experts on every topic.
I enjoy life now.
Maybe give letting go a shot for awhile. It works.

I've fished it one...the stripers on that lake are huge!!!
You can find little pockets off the main river to fish. Flip tubes, craws, or drop shot Roboworms.

Love Lake Powell. Took the whole tour of the lake. News articles currently discussing the water shortage out west. Some are even calling for Powell to be "shut down" as a water source for the southwest. Water at an all time low. Bad news. Beautiful place.
