Lake Powell is Amazing!

On AZ-Utah border. Bank fishing very early for a coupla days this past week. 4th time there, and I REALLY hated leaving this last trip...caught smallmouths...mostly Topwater...

I've heard it's beautiful Bill. That's awesome. I'm going there one of these days. Temps while you're there?? Any stripers or hybrids?

they got everything in there! largemouth, smallies, stripers, hybrids, walleye, etc!

decent golf course as well!

oops! forgot temps. just like austin area, except it's a DRY heat.

Man it’s on my bucket list

coupla years ago i hired a guide cuz i aint dragging my boat 1000mi there and 1000mi back, lol
omg, when you're on the water it is just incredible! gonna try to post a pic from the guide's boat.

if you decide to bank fish, drive to the antelope public ramp. park around there. hike down to the left from the parking lot. or just hike down ramp and fish to the right, going around the corner. eventually you'll see the big antelope marina with huge houseboats. the fishing is really fantastic!

Beautiful lake and part of the country.

The scenery is spectacular. I used to fish it a lot when I live in Salt Lake City. Haven’t been back in 15 years. It’s a long haul from here. I need to go back though.

Couple years ago I was going to rent a houseboat on Powell. Last minute we ended up renting a 5 bed room houseboat on Lake Ouachita for 8 days. Towed my bass boat behind us the entire time. Absolute great vacation. Powell is still on my bucket list!

one of the cos. I guided for did the colorado to powell, we met a 30' john boat style with a drop front to load gear. about an hr. to bullfrog from pickup point and always liked to get to sit back and watch the scenery.
never got to fish it tho.

You're a long way from Bastrop, Bill!

Thanks for sharing.

well, i was traveling to bend, oregon, then ventura, then powell. but a piece of my heart is always in bastrop. that topwater bite is stunning!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing with us.

looks like mars

Plenty of space to fish on Powell. Nice pic's.

great pics...thanks for sharing...

Neat looking place.

My family rented a house boat one year on Powell stayed out there a whole week, towed our boat behind the houseboat. Prolly one of my favorite vacations we took when I was a kid. I have always wanted to go back.

beautiful lake, I have been there a couple of times. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

It is a beautiful lake. Many great memories from there. Caught my first striper there a long time ago. I need to make a trip back, I wish it wasn't so far away.

I never knew a houseboat vacation like this was a thing. Definitely what we’re doing next summer. Kids will love it.

That use to be my home lake.
Very incredible for sure and clear.

Thanks for sharing.

A few friend's and I have a 75' houseboat on Powell. It's a lot of work to maintain but well worth it! This is Navajo Mountain.

very lucky!
when i lived in phx i'd pick up my daughter in flag and drive to page to play the golf course. if only i had discovered fishing by then!
gonna try to get back in september...same trip: bend, ventura, page, home!

really great pic! of course, you cant take a bad pic there, lol.
