Powell Lake is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Powell Lake is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 24.7 acres, reaches about 13.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 135.4 acre-feet.
The small size of Powell Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Powell Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
A useful rainbow trout plan on Powell Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; cast across the point tip, then change lure speed before moving.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; look along a shallow shelf, then use wind to narrow the search.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
