Fishing at Lake Powell is a popular activity, and anglers can take advantage of the lake’s diverse selection of fish species, including striped bass, largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, and catfish. However, before you can start fishing, you need to make sure you have the proper fishing license. There are two types of fishing licenses available for Lake Powell: Utah and Arizona.

Arizona Fishing License

An Arizona fishing license is required for anyone who wants to fish in the Arizona portion of Lake Powell (a small section near Hite Marina). These licenses can be purchased from any state-run Department of Fish and Game office or online.

Conclusion:

If you plan on fishing at Lake Powell, make sure to get the right type of fishing license. Depending on where you are fishing in the lake, you may need either a Utah or an Arizona license.
