It's Monday, January 26th, 2026, around 8:30 AM local, and we're lookin' at sunny skies today at Bullfrog Marina—highs pushin' 39°F, lows dippin' to 23°F overnight with light north winds goin' calm, per WeatherForYou.com. Sunrise was at 7:45 AM, sunset 'round 5:40 PM, givin' ya about 10 hours of light. No tides here in this desert beast, but water levels are low at 27% capacity, so mind those shallows—Utah water managers note inflows might hit just 50% of normal. Fishin' been slow but steady this winter, like my podcast "Lake Powell Utah Fishing Report Today" detailed back on Jan 12th. Smallmouth bass, stripers, and walleye are key players, holdin' deep in 30-50 feet. Anglers report steady action on slow presentations—drop-shot rigs or jigs with soft plastics shinin' for bass and walleye. Stripers schoolin' tight; use anchovies or shad imitations for bait if you're soakin', but finesse jigs and skirted jigs from BAFA-style setups (like those Michiana pros swear by) are hot for artificials. Keep it simple: natural colors, 3-5 foot depths near points or grass edges. Limits? Folks pullin' 5-10 fish days, mostly 12-18 inch smallies, handfuls of 2-5 lb stripers, and walleye to 22 inches. Action picks up midday as sun warms the ledges. Hot spots: Bullfrog Bay points for bass—drag that jig slow. And Lone Rock Beach area for stripers; deeper ledges off the ramps are gold. Bundle up, get your gear before leavin' the dock, and stay safe out there. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Fish are active in the shallows; stripers are boilin' midday on shad schools, smallmouth bass hittin' aggressive on rock points, and walleye prowlin' deeper drops at dawn and dusk. Recent reports from local forums like Big Fish Tackle show limits of 15-20 stripers per boat, 2-5 lb smallies, and chunky walleyes up to 8 lbs—catfish addin' bonuses on nights. Best lures? Go with **chartreuse grubs or swimbaits** on 1/4-oz jigheads for bass and stripers—mimic those shad perfect. **Lipless crankbaits** in firetiger for ripping through schools. Live bait? Threadfin shad or nightcrawlers on drop-shot rigs shine for walleye and picky smallies.

Best lures: 1/2-ounce green pumpkin jig with a curly tail grub, or a slow-sinkin' swimbait in shad patterns. Drop-shot rigs with minnow-imitatin' worms killin' it for smallies. Live bait? Nightcrawlers or shad chunks on bottom bouncers for walleye and cats. Cutbait for stripers if you can net some. Hot spots: Bullfrog Bay ledges near the marina—drag jigs slow along 35-foot contours.

Let's dive into what's happening out on the water today. **Weather & Conditions** We're looking at some decent conditions this morning. Lake Powell, Arizona is currently sitting at 46 degrees and sunny, with highs reaching 51 degrees today. Tonight we're expecting things to cool down to around 31 degrees. Over at Bullfrog Marina, it's overcast but still fishable. Keep an eye out as we move into the week—rain's possible mid-week, but Saturday looks like it's going to be beautiful. **Water Intel** The Lake Powell Utah Fishing Report podcast has been highlighting that winter fishing is all about slow presentations and deeper spots. Smallmouth, stripers, and walleye are biting steadily right now, which is solid intel heading into the weekend. Water temps are hovering in that mid-40s range, so fish are holding deep. **What's Catching** According to recent reports, your best bet is working slower baits and presentations. Jerkbaits, glide baits, and A-rigs are producing well. If you're a jig guy like me, keep that jig in the water all winter—it's a producer. Crankbaits in shad and crawfish patterns will get the job done too. The main channel breaks in 5-15 feet of water are where the action is happening. **Hot Spots** Target the main lake and nearby secondary points. The deeper structure is your friend in January. Also scout close-by secondary points where baitfish are staging. **Gear Up** Make sure you've got all your gear before you leave the dock. Trust me, you don't want to realize halfway out there that you're missing something. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

We're in the heart of winter now, and conditions are shifting as we settle into mid-January. **Water Conditions & Fish Activity** Smallmouth bass and stripers are biting steady right now, which is great news for us anglers. Winter fishing means you need to slow down your presentations and focus on deeper spots—that's where the fish are congregating this time of year. Bass, stripers, and walleye are all active, but they're not going to come to you. You've got to work for them. **What's Working** For tackle setup, classic smallmouth plastics are your best bet. A Rattlin' Ned rig in smelt and green pumpkin goby patterns fished on a finesse hook with drop-shot weights is proven effective. If you're targeting larger fish, green pumpkin jigs with crawfish trailers will get you results. Texas-rigged worms in watermelon and green pumpkin colors work year-round here, and don't overlook crankbaits in shad patterns—both Rapala OG Slim and Tiny models have taken fish consistently. For walleye, stick with minnow-pattern lures, feather jigs, and woolly buggers in pearl, chartreuse, and glow colors.

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 08:32:20 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI # Lake Powell Winter Fishing Report Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Powell fishing report. We're in the heart of winter now, and conditions are shifting as we settle into mid-January. **Water Conditions & Fish Activity** Smallmouth bass and stripers are biting steady right now, which is great news for us anglers. Winter fishing means you need to slow down your presentations and focus on deeper spots—that's where the fish are congregating this time of year. Bass, stripers, and walleye are all active, but they're not going to come to you. You've got to work for them. **What's Working** For tackle setup, classic smallmouth plastics are your best bet. A Rattlin' Ned rig in smelt and green pumpkin goby patterns fished on a finesse hook with drop-shot weights is proven effective. If you're targeting larger fish, green pumpkin jigs with crawfish trailers will get you results. Texas-rigged worms in watermelon and green pumpkin colors work year-round here, and don't overlook crankbaits in shad patterns—both Rapala OG Slim and Tiny models have taken fish consistently.

Water levels are risin' slow but steady—US Drought Monitor says Powell's sittin' around 26% full, with recent bumps from Southwest rains easin' the pain a bit. No tides here in this big desert beast, but low water means wadable channels are openin' up for shore anglers, per local chatter on Cougarboard. Weather's balmy for winter—US Drought Monitor reports Utah temps 10-13°F above normal comin' up, highs pushin' 50s today with dry skies ahead. Sunrise was at 7:45 AM, sunset 'round 5:30 PM—plenty of light for a full day chase. Fish are active in the shallows; warmer water's got 'em movin'. Recent reports from Bullfrog and Wahweap show stripers crashin' bait balls, smallmouth bass hittin' hard on grass edges, and catfish prowlin' bottoms. Locals pulled limits of 15-20" smallies and stripers up to 10 pounds last week, with some walleye in the mix. Best lures? Chatterbaits and A-rigs for bass in the patches—mimics shad perfect, like the pros swear by. Rapala Shadow Rap Shad or Rattlin' Rapala in natural hues for stripers. Live bait?

We're in that classic quiet desert winter pattern right now, and conditions are looking manageable for getting out on the water. Weather-wise, Utah's looking seasonable with light winds and mostly clear skies—no major snow expected, which means decent visibility and good boat control if you're heading out. Water temps are sitting around 33 degrees, so dress warm and keep your outings smart. This time of year on Powell, you're dealing with shorter daylight, so make your hours count. We're looking at sunrise around 7:58 AM and sunset at 5:12 PM, giving you a tight window to work with. The solunar charts show your best bite windows hitting around 8 to 10 AM and again from 6 to 8 PM—those are your prime times to be on the water. Fish activity right now is classic mid-winter: slow presentations and deeper spots are your ticket. Bass, stripers, and walleye are all here, but they're not going to come to you. You've got to put in the work to find them. Expect scattered but steady action when you're dialed in on the right zones. For lures, keep it simple with finesse-focused presentations. Jigs tipped with minnows work solid for walleye and panfish. Small glow spoons and teardrop jigs are producing, and don't overlook a basic small swimbait worked slowly near structure. Emerald shiners remain your top bait choice when you can find them at local shops, with fatheads as a solid backup. Target the deeper drop-offs and structure-heavy zones—those submerged canyons and ledges hold fish this time of year. The upper lake sections around Mud Creek and Browns Creek tend to concentrate fish when it gets this cold. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

We’re in that classic quiet desert winter pattern on Powell right now: cold nights, crisp bluebird days, and light winds across most of the main lake. Fox Weather’s Lake Powell outlook has us running below freezing before sunrise and warming into the low 40s by afternoon with high pressure parked overhead, so expect clear skies, dry air, and a little afternoon breeze funneling up the main channel. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m. local with sunset close to 5:30 p.m., which puts your best window for active fish in that 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. band once the sun hits the walls and takes the edge off the water temps. With Powell being a reservoir, not a coastal system, we don’t have true tides to worry about, just the very slow day‑to‑day level changes from Glen Canyon Dam releases. Water temps are sitting in the low 40s on the main lake and a touch cooler in the backs of long, shaded canyons. That’s got the **stripers, smallmouth, and walleye** pushed deeper and tight to structure. According to the Lake Powell fishing report podcast from QP – Daily, the pattern the last few days has been classic winter: slow presentations, deeper spots, and a lot of looking on the graph before you ever drop a bait. Recent catches have been steady but not fast. Most boats that are staying on electronics are scratching out a **dozen to two dozen stripers** in a half‑day, plus a grab‑bag of small smallmouth and the occasional walleye. The better grade stripers have been coming 40–70 feet down over 80–120 feet in the main river channel and big bends near Bullfrog and Halls. The smaller schoolies are roaming mid‑depth flats at the mouths of canyons. Best producers right now: - **Stripers:** Anchovies or cut shad on a drop‑shot or simple Carolina rig, fished almost dead‑still once you mark a school. Vertically jigging 1‑ to 1½‑ounce spoons in white, chrome, or glow is putting fish in the boat when they’re on shad balls. A little scent is helping in that cold water. - **Smallmouth bass:** Finesse plastics on light heads – 3" tubes in green pumpkin, 3–4" Ned‑style baits, and small shad‑pattern swimbaits crawling slowly along chunk rock and ledges in 20–35 feet. Think painfully slow: drag, shake, and let it soak. - **Walleye:** Subtle bottom‑bouncers are too much work in this structure, so most folks are sliding jigs tipped with nightcrawler pieces or small minnows down steep breaks, especially on cloudy periods or just before dark. A handful of eater‑size fish have come from 25–40 feet on gravelly points. For hard baits, keep it modest and tight‑wobbling. According to winter bass tips from Major League Fishing pros, cold‑water fish respond better to smaller profile cranks and suspending jerkbaits worked with long pauses. On Powell right now, a shad‑colored suspending jerkbait along sun‑warmed walls can still surprise you with a bonus largemouth or smallie when the afternoon sun hits.

We’re sitting in a classic mild desert winter pattern. Fox Weather’s Lake Powell forecast shows clear to partly cloudy skies, light winds around 3–5 mph, and daytime highs in the low‑ to mid‑60s with chilly nights in the low 40s. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m. local and sunset close to 5:20 p.m., giving you a tight but productive winter window. Being an inland reservoir, there’s no true tide here, but water level changes from Colorado River management are modest day to day, so current is mostly wind‑driven or from the main channel. Cold water has the bite in typical winter mode: fewer but better‑quality fish if you slow down and fish deeper. Local-style January reports for Powell consistently mention bass, stripers, and walleye sliding off into 25–60 feet, holding on ledges, creek channel swings, and the ends of points. The Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Today podcast from Quiet Please recently highlighted “slow presentations and deeper spots” as the key to winter bass, stripers, and walleye here, and that pattern is still holding. Recent catches around Wahweap, Warm Creek, and up the main channel toward Navajo Canyon have been a mix of smallmouth and largemouth in the 1–2½‑pound range, schoolie stripers from 1–3 pounds, and the odd walleye or crappie when you hit the right rock pile. Expect a dozen or so fish on a good half day if you stay mobile and rely on electronics, with some boats doing better when they find active striper schools pinned to bait in 40–60 feet. Best approach right now is finesse and vertical. Think: - **For bass:** 3–4" green pumpkin or watermelon tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop‑shot worms in natural shad or morning dawn colors, dragged or subtly shaken along rock. A small, flat‑sided crankbait or subtle swimbait will pick off the more aggressive fish in the afternoon when the sun warms the rocks. - **For stripers:** Spoons and jigging slabs dropped straight to marked schools are money. White or chrome 1–1½‑oz spoons, or soft‑plastic shad on ½‑oz heads, yo‑yoed just off bottom. If the artificial bite is tough, frozen anchovies on a dropper rig still put meat in the boat – classic Powell striper program. - **For walleye:** Bottom‑bouncer style presentations with nightcrawlers or slow‑rolled small paddle‑tails along rocky breaks in 30–40 feet, especially at first light and just before dark. Two solid hot spots to consider: - **Navajo Canyon:** Steep walls with broken shelves, plenty of bait and stripers. Work the creek arms and secondary points, 30–60 feet, with spoons and drop‑shot rigs. - **Warm Creek / Lone Rock area near Wahweap:** Easy access, scattered structure, and a dependable mix of smallmouth and stripers. Focus on the ends of points and submerged humps off the main channel. Fish activity peaks in short windows: late morning after the sun’s been on the rocks a few hours, and again late afternoon as light fades.

Out here the water’s quiet but the canyons are carrying sound, and we’ve got a soft winter pattern. High pressure is in control over the interior West, with daytime temps on the lake running in the mid‑40s to low‑50s, light north to northeast breeze, and cold, clear nights dropping well below freezing. Regional weather services are calling it a warmer‑than‑normal winter overall, but it still feels plenty brisk at first light. Sunrise is right around 7:40 a.m. with sunset close to 5:20 p.m., so your best natural light windows are short and sweet. Powell doesn’t have real tides, just wind and dam‑release swings, and flows are modest right now, so levels are fairly stable with just slow daily fluctuation. Fish activity is classic mid‑winter: lethargic but reliable if you slow down. Recent reports from Lake Powell regulars and regional forums say **striped bass** are still the main story, with good numbers of smaller schoolies coming from 40–80 feet, and occasional better fish mixed in. Anglers are also picking up **smallmouth bass** and a few **largemouth** tight to chunk rock and ledges, plus scattered **walleye** in deeper breaks when the sun gets up. Numbers-wise, locals have been putting 15–30 stripers in the boat on a decent outing when they stay on the graph and work vertically. Smallmouth catches are lighter, often 5–10 fish in a half day, but the average size has been solid for winter, especially on the rocky points. Best approach right now is a slow, vertical game: - For stripers, think **1–1½ oz white or pearl jigging spoons**, 2–3 inch **soft plastic swimbaits** on ½ oz heads, and **slab jigs** in shad patterns. Tip with a small piece of cut bait if they’re sniffing but not committing. - For bass and walleye, work **3–4 inch green pumpkin tubes**, **finesse worms**, and **silver or gold blade baits** slowly along breaks in 20–40 feet. A drop‑shot with a small shad‑style bait barely shaken in place will get bit when nothing else does. As for live or natural bait, cut anchovy or shad still rules the striper world on Powell. Use a simple drop rig over marked schools and just lift and fall a foot or two. Night fishing with lights will still draw them, but the cold makes daytime vertical jigging the better comfort play. A couple of local hot spots to circle: - **Wahweap to Warm Creek line:** Main‑lake points and channel swings have been holding solid striper schools in 60–100 feet. Idle and watch your electronics; when you see tight balls of shad with arcs underneath, drop straight down. - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing area:** The mouth of Bullfrog Bay and the first few main‑lake points toward Halls have produced a mixed bag of stripers, smallmouth, and a few walleye, especially mid‑morning as the sun hits the rock. Midday lulls are real right now, so make the most of first light and the last hour before dark.

Tip with a small piece of cut bait if they’re sniffing but not committing. - For bass and walleye, work **3–4 inch green pumpkin tubes**, **finesse worms**, and **silver or gold blade baits** slowly along breaks in 20–40 feet. A drop‑shot with a small shad‑style bait barely shaken in place will get bit when nothing else does. As for live or natural bait, cut anchovy or shad still rules the striper world on Powell. Use a simple drop rig over marked schools and just lift and fall a foot or two. Night fishing with lights will still draw them, but the cold makes daytime vertical jigging the better comfort play. A couple of local hot spots to circle: - **Wahweap to Warm Creek line:** Main‑lake points and channel swings have been holding solid striper schools in 60–100 feet. Idle and watch your electronics; when you see tight balls of shad with arcs underneath, drop straight down. - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing area:** The mouth of Bullfrog Bay and the first few main‑lake points toward Halls have produced a mixed bag of stripers, smallmouth, and a few walleye, especially mid‑morning as the sun hits the rock. Midday lulls are real right now, so make the most of first light and the last hour before dark.

No tides here in our desert gem, but expect sunny skies today at Bullfrog Marina—highs pushin' 48°F, lows around 39°F, a tad warmer than the usual 41° highs and 25° lows for January per Hite, UT forecasts from WeatherForYou. Sunrise kicked off early, sunset 'round 5:30 PM, givin' ya solid daylight to chase 'em. Fish are hunkered deep this winter—bass and stripers lovin' them deeper structures, slow presentations are key, says the January 4th update on Spreaker's Lake Powell podcast. Walleye's in the mix too. Recent catches? Anglers pullin' limits of smallmouth bass on jigs dragged slow over rocky breaks, stripers schooled up deep on anchovies or shad-imitatin' lures. Best bets right now: slow-rolled spinnerbaits, flat-sided crankbaits for bass; for stripers, try vertical jiggin' with glow spoons or live anchovies if you can net 'em. Nightcrawlers on cowbells work wonders near surface for rainbows if they're poppin'. Hot spots? Hit the deeper ledges off Hite Marina—fish are stacked there.

Water conditions are looking solid right now as we head into the second week of January. Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies with highs around 52 degrees—pretty typical for this time of year. Sun's coming up around 6:43 AM and setting at 5:36 PM, so you've got a solid 10-plus hours of daylight to work with out there. Speaking of activity, smallmouth bass and stripers are biting steadily through the crisp start to 2026. The key right now is working deeper water and keeping your presentations slow. Winter conditions mean these fish aren't as aggressive, so forget the flashy reaction baits and focus on finesse-oriented presentations that mimic natural forage. For your tackle box, Z-Man plastics are absolutely crushing it on Lake Powell right now—especially their GrubZ and TRD CrawZ. Anglers swear by them for holding onto bass once they strike. Pair those with Ned-rig setups using smaller jig heads. If you're targeting stripers, slow-rolled spinnerbaits and flat-sided crankbaits dragged along rocky breaks are reliable producers. Don't sleep on walleye either—they're present and feeding on the right lures. For hotspots, focus on the deeper structure and rocky transitions where bass and stripers are holding. Less obvious areas away from the main channels tend to hold larger fish that aren't constantly harassed by other anglers. Thanks for tuning in today.

Winter's grip is tight out here in southern Utah, with clear skies dominatin' but temps hoverin' in the low 30s at dawn, warmin' to maybe 45 by afternoon—bundle up against that chill wind off the reservoir. No tides to worry 'bout in this big ol' lake, but water levels are droppin' low thanks to ongoing drought, sittin' well below full pool per Utah State Parks updates, makin' ramps tricky so check 'em close. Sunrise hit at 7:45 AM, sunset 'round 5:15 PM—short days mean prime fishin' windows midday when the sun warms those rocky points. Fish activity's pickin' up in deeper water, 15-30 feet, as cold pushes 'em down. Recent reports from local forums like BigFishTackle echo Utah Division of Wildlife Resources intel: fair to good bites on smallmouth bass, walleye, and stripers, with some rainbow trout and catfish in the mix. Anglers pulled strings of smallies up to 3 pounds usin' tube jigs and curly tail grubs in chartreuse or pearl—drop-shot rigs shinin' off bottom near submerged humps. Walleye lovin' minnows on jigs, glow or orange colors after dark. For stripers schoolin' surface now and then, troll Rapala shad raps or swimbaits. Best baits? Nightcrawlers or cut shad for cats and walleye; cheese-scented dough or corn for shore-bound trout. Top lures: Jakes Spin-A-Lure, Eppinger Daredevils, or Ned rigs with soft plastics—work 'em slow in the cold. Hot spots today: Padre Bay for bass huggin' sandstone cliffs—anchor and vertical jig. And check Halls Crossing area, where stripers crash baitfish schools; drift tube jigs there. Watch for quagga mussels—decon your gear 7-30 days dry or pro if needed.

Fish are sluggish in this chill, so slow your roll—Spreaker's Lake Powell report nails it: target bass, stripers, and walleye in deeper spots with finesse presentations. Recent catches? Smallmouth bass to 3 pounds, striped bass schooled up deep, walleye grabbin' nightcrawlers. Limits are comin' steady but not fast—patience pays. Best lures: drop-shot rigs with small soft plastics or jigs in shad colors, work 'em 30-50 feet down. Spoons for stripers, blade baits twitchin' slow. Live bait? Minnows or anchovies on a bottom bouncer for walleye, nightcrawlers for bass. KUTV notes cold air lingers but warmin' trend starts tomorrow—mid-40s up north, 50s in the deserts.

Lake’s sitting low but stable, ramps workable, and the water is cold and clear in the main channel with a slight green stain back in the canyons. Overnight temps are down in the 20s and 30s with calm to light winds; afternoons are topping out in the 40s and low 50s under mostly clear skies, classic high‑desert winter conditions. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m., sunset near 5:15 p.m., so we’ve got a tight daylight window and long, cold nights. No tides here of course – we’re a reservoir – so level changes are from dam releases, and those have been modest and predictable this week according to Bureau of Reclamation data shared through Glen Canyon National Recreation Area updates. Fish activity is classic winter Powell: slower overall, but very catchable if you fish deep and slow. Recent reports around Wahweap, Warm Creek, and the lower San Juan have shown fair numbers of **striped bass**, **smallmouth bass**, and a few **walleye** coming from 25–60 feet, with the better bites mid‑morning once the sun gets on the water. Anglers working structure off main‑lake points and ledges have been scratching out 10–20 stripers per boat, plus a handful of bass, when they stay on the graph and don’t leave fish to find fish. Best approach right now is a vertical game. Drop‑shot soft plastics, 3–4 inch shad‑style swimbaits on 3/8–1/2 oz jig heads, and spoons or ice jigs are putting fish in the boat. Think natural shad and smelt colors in that clear water: pearl, smoke, and light olive. Slow, subtle hops or barely swimming that bait just off bottom is out‑producing anything fast. For stripers, chumming with cut anchovy and then dropping spoons or bait into the school is still deadly when you mark a stack of arcs under the boat. Live or cut **anchovies** remain the top bait for stripers. Night‑crawler pieces and small minnow‑imitating plastics will tempt walleye on rocky shelves and the first breaks off points. Smallmouth are hugging chunk rock and broken ledges; Ned rigs, tube jigs, and 3-inch grubs crawled painfully slow are the ticket. Couple of local hot spots to keep on your short list: • **Wahweap Bay and the mouth of Warm Creek** – Good winter structure, lots of bait showing on electronics, and consistent striper marks in 30–50 feet along the old river channel edges and main points. • **Buoy 25 area up-lake and the backs of Navajo and Antelope Canyons** – Steep walls dropping into deep water, classic places for winter stripers to pin shad, plus smallmouth hanging on broken rock in that 20–35 foot band. With the low sun angle, that last 90 minutes before dark has been a sweet spot for a little flurry of activity, especially if you find birds dipping on shad or see active arches sliding up off bottom. Dress warm, run good electronics, and don’t be afraid to sit on one piece of structure for an hour if you’re marking fish. Winter on Powell rewards patience and a slow hand.

Couple of local hot spots to keep on your short list: • **Wahweap Bay and the mouth of Warm Creek** – Good winter structure, lots of bait showing on electronics, and consistent striper marks in 30–50 feet along the old river channel edges and main points. • **Buoy 25 area up-lake and the backs of Navajo and Antelope Canyons** – Steep walls dropping into deep water, classic places for winter stripers to pin shad, plus smallmouth hanging on broken rock in that 20–35 foot band. With the low sun angle, that last 90 minutes before dark has been a sweet spot for a little flurry of activity, especially if you find birds dipping on shad or see active arches sliding up off bottom. Dress warm, run good electronics, and don’t be afraid to sit on one piece of structure for an hour if you’re marking fish. Winter on Powell rewards patience and a slow hand.

Out here we don’t worry about tides – Powell’s a big desert reservoir – but we do watch weather and water level. Around Wahweap and Page this morning it’s starting off cold in the upper 30s, climbing into the upper 40s to low 50s under mostly clear skies, with a light north to northwest breeze. timeanddate.com lists sunrise at about 7:30 a.m. local and sunset a little after 5:20 p.m., giving us a short, bright winter day. Cold nights and clear days have pushed surface temps into the low 50s and dropped clarity to that winter green; perfect for chasing **stripers**, **smallmouth**, and a few bonus **walleye**. With the lake down, fish are pulled tight to structure and winter channels. Recent reports from local marinas and the Lake Powell Fishing Facebook crowd have striper boils mostly done for the season, but steady action on **schooling stripers** in 40–80 feet using spoons and bait. Most folks are putting 15–40 stripers in the boat on a good morning soaking anchovies or jigging. Smallmouth are slower but quality is good: handfuls of 1–2 pounders coming from rocky points and ledges. A few crappie and walleye are showing up in the backs of warmer coves on subtle plastics. Best producers right now: - **Lures** - One–ounce slab spoons and Kastmasters in silver or pearl, vertical-jigged over schools. - Drop-shot finesse worms in green pumpkin for smallmouth on chunk rock. - 2.8–3.3" swimbaits in shad colors slow-rolled mid-column. - Blade baits in chrome/blue when the wind kicks up. - **Bait** - Cut **anchovies** on a Carolina or simple drop rig for stripers, set just off bottom in 40–70 feet. - Nightcrawlers tipped on small jigs for bonus walleye and panfish. Fish are most active in the **late morning** once the sun gets on the water and again for a short window just before sunset. Midday can be surprisingly good in winter if you slow everything down and stay vertical on top of the marks. Couple of local hot spots to try: - **Wahweap / Stateline area** – Work the main channel edges and the mouths of coves just north of the marina. Watch your graph for tight striper schools hugging bottom; drop spoons straight down when you see the “spaghetti.” - **Antelope Canyon & Navajo Canyon** – Classic winter haunts. Steep walls with 30–80 feet under the boat; stripers stack along bends and points. Smallmouth hold on broken rock shelves; drag a dropshot or Ned along those transitions. If you’re bank fishing, hit the rocky shoreline near Wahweap or the fishing docks at Stateline with small jigs, swimbaits, or anchovy chunks on a sliding rig. Work slow; most winter bites just feel like weight. That’s your Lake Powell rundown from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

Lake Powell doesn’t have tides to worry about, but the water’s sitting seasonally low and clear, with long tapering points and flooded timber starting just off the main river channels. According to the National Park Service, Glen Canyon and Powell are open 24 hours a day year‑round, so access isn’t your problem – finding the fish is. Weather this morning is cold and stable with light winds and high pressure, warming to a mild afternoon. That clear, calm pattern usually means tougher shallow fishing but good action for anyone willing to fish slow and a bit deeper. Local forecasts are calling for mostly sunny skies, a light north breeze, and a chilly night ahead, so plan on layered clothing and a dry run back to the ramp. Sunrise and sunset around the lake put first light a little after 7 a.m. and dark settling in just after 5 p.m. The best window has been that late‑morning to mid‑afternoon bite, when the sun finally warms the rock and the bait pushes up. Solunar tables from FishingReminder show stronger fish activity in a midday major period today, with a softer minor window near dusk. That lines up with what folks on the water have been seeing all week: slow early, then a flurry of bites once the sun gets on the walls. Recent catch reports around Wahweap and Antelope have been steady on **stripers** and **smallmouth**, with a few bonus **largemouth** and **walleye**. Striper schools have been coughing up small shad in the livewells, and most of the better catches have come from 30–60 feet, with some boats putting 20–40 schoolie stripers in the box on a good day. Smallmouth are running smaller but plentiful off broken rock and chunky points in 15–35 feet, with the occasional 2‑ to 3‑pounder. Walleye are scattered but showing on deep humps and channel bends when you drag something right on their nose. Best lures right now are classic winter Powell staples: - For stripers: 1‑ to 1.5‑ounce white or glow jigging spoons, ice jigs, and small white swimbaits on 3/8‑ to 1/2‑ounce heads, dropped straight on marked schools. - For smallmouth and largemouth: green pumpkin or brown 3–4 inch tubes, Ned rigs, and drop‑shot worms in natural shad or cinnamon colors, fished painfully slow. - For walleye: bottom‑bouncer style presentations with crawler‑imitating plastics, or a 1/4‑ to 3/8‑ounce jig with a small minnow‑style trailer just ticking bottom. Best bait is still **anchovies** for stripers – cut chunked anchovy on a dropper rig or Carolina rig will get bit when the spoon bite dies, especially if you chum a little. Nightcrawlers or live minnows (where legal and available) on light jigs will tempt walleye and bonus smallmouth along deeper breaks. A couple of local hot spots to key on: - **Wahweap to Antelope Canyon corridor**: Work the mouths of side canyons and main‑lake points, watching your electronics for striper stacks and bait balls in the 40‑ to 60‑foot range. - **Navajo Canyon**: The This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Out here on the big canyon pond, water’s still well below full pool but holding steady, with Bureau of Reclamation updates putting Powell under a third of capacity. That means long, skinny canyons, plenty of exposed structure, and fish pushed to the channel edges and ledges. No real tides to worry about on this desert reservoir, so think in terms of *wind* and *light*, not tide. Calm mornings, breezy afternoons. Regional forecasts from Utah outlets are calling for seasonable temps, light south to southwest breeze, and a mix of sun and high clouds. Plan on a chilly start, shirtsleeve mid‑day, and a cool-down once that sun tucks behind the rim. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m. with sunset near 5:10 p.m. That gives you tight but very productive low‑light windows. The first two hours after sunrise and the last hour before dark are prime. Recent reports from local shops and marinas around Page and Wahweap have striper and smallmouth action leading the pack, with a sprinkling of largemouth, crappie, and walleye. Anglers dragging bait or spoons along the main channel have been putting 20–40 striped bass in the boat on a decent outing, mostly 1–3 pound schoolies. Smallmouth have been coming 10–20 fish a day for folks who stick to rocky points and bluffy shorelines. Best pattern for **stripers**: - Vertical jigging 1–1.5 oz spoons, white or silver, in 40–80 feet along channel breaks and steep points. - Slow‑trolling or casting soft plastic swimbaits, 3–4 inches, in shad or white. - Anchovies on a drop shot or Carolina rig are still the old‑school producer if you want steady action. Best pattern for **smallmouth**: - Ned rigs and small tubes in green pumpkin or brown, hopped slowly across chunk rock in 10–25 feet. - Finesse jigs with a craw trailer, especially on sun‑warmed rock. - On calm days with clear water, downsize to 6–8 lb fluoro and natural colors. **Walleye** have been a bonus catch after dark and on deep humps: bottom‑bouncers with nightcrawlers, or jigging spoons right on bottom in 40–60 feet. For **crappie**, target brush and flooded timber in side canyons with 1/16 oz marabou or tube jigs in chartreuse and white, suspended 10–20 feet down. A couple of local hot spots right now: - **Wahweap to Antelope area**: work the main‑channel points and the mouth of Antelope Canyon for stripers and smallies. That long, tapering structure holds bait and schooling fish. - **Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon**: good mix of depth and broken rock. Watch your graph for balls of shad; when you see them, drop a spoon straight through. Color rule of thumb: clear water, go natural shad, smoke, or green pumpkin. If wind kicks up or you’re in stained pockets, switch to chartreuse, white, or something with a little flash. Live bait: salted anchovies for stripers, nightcrawlers and minnows where legal for walleye and crappie.

For **crappie**, target brush and flooded timber in side canyons with 1/16 oz marabou or tube jigs in chartreuse and white, suspended 10–20 feet down. A couple of local hot spots right now: - **Wahweap to Antelope area**: work the main‑channel points and the mouth of Antelope Canyon for stripers and smallies. That long, tapering structure holds bait and schooling fish. - **Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon**: good mix of depth and broken rock. Watch your graph for balls of shad; when you see them, drop a spoon straight through. Color rule of thumb: clear water, go natural shad, smoke, or green pumpkin. If wind kicks up or you’re in stained pockets, switch to chartreuse, white, or something with a little flash. Live bait: salted anchovies for stripers, nightcrawlers and minnows where legal for walleye and crappie.

Out here the lake’s calm and cold, with clear skies and light north-to-northeast breeze, typical for this high-desert stretch in mid‑December. Daytime highs are running in the upper 40s to low 50s, nights in the 20s. Local forecasts from southern Utah outlets are calling for a mostly dry pattern with the next real shot of moisture mid‑week, so expect stable pressure and clear water. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m., sunset near 5:05 p.m., which means your best light bite is packed into a short window. No real tides to worry about on Powell, just slow Bureau of Reclamation level changes, so current is mostly wind‑driven or from the river arms. That’s keeping fish glued to structure: points, ledges, and the first breaks off the bank. Recent reports from local marinas and tackle shops around Bullfrog and Wahweap say the catch has leaned heavy on **stripers and smallmouth**, with a mix of **largemouth**, a few decent **walleye**, and the odd **crappie** in the backs of protected coves. Anglers fishing vertically over 40–80 feet of water have been putting 20–40 schoolie stripers in the boat in a morning when they stay on the sonar and keep the spoons fluttering. Smallmouth numbers are lower than fall, but the ones coming in are chunky 2–3 pounders off rock piles and stair‑step ledges. Fish activity is classic winter: short, sharp feeding windows. First light until about 10 a.m. has been best, with a second little push mid‑afternoon when the sun has had time to warm the rocks. Once the sun’s high and the wind slicks off, things get finicky and you’ll need to slow way down. Best producers right now: - For **stripers**: Vertical jigging 1–1½ oz silver or white spoons, Kastmasters, or slab jigs right under marked schools. White 2–3 inch soft‑plastic minnows on ½ oz jigheads are also working when you hover just off the bottom. Salted anchovies still shine if you want to chum and soak bait on a drop‑shot or Carolina rig. - For **smallmouth and largemouth**: Finesse is king. Green pumpkin or brown tube jigs, 3–4 inch shad‑style swimbaits, and Ned rigs in natural colors dragged painfully slow over chunk rock and broken ledges. A suspending jerkbait in shad or ghost patterns worked with long pauses can pull bonus fish when the sun’s on the walls. - For **walleye**: A crawler‑harness style rig or small paddle‑tail on a ⅜ oz head, bounced along 25–40 foot breaks near mud‑to‑rock transitions, especially on cloudy or late‑afternoon sessions. As for hot spots, a couple of areas are standing out: - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing area**: The main‑lake channel edges and the mouths of Halls and Bullfrog bays have been holding big striper schools. Idle around with your graph in 60–100 feet until you see solid bands of bait with arcs beneath, then drop spoons right on them. - **Navajo Canyon and main‑lake points near Wahweap**: Clear, deep water with steep walls.

We don’t worry about tides out here in the desert, but water levels and weather are calling the shots. Bullfrog and Wahweap are both waking up to clear, dry high‑pressure conditions with light winds and cool mornings, warming into the 50s by afternoon according to regional Utah forecasts. Skies are mostly clear, so expect a fast warm‑up on sun‑soaked walls and points. First light to mid‑morning and last hour before dark are your prime windows. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m. with sunset near 5:00 p.m. on this stretch of the Colorado Plateau. According to the Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Today podcast on Spreaker, bass are in a classic early‑winter pattern: compressed into deeper water, hugging structure, and sliding up only when the sun warms the rock. Stripers are grouping in deeper channels and along steep breaks, with fish showing best where shad are pinned. Recent reports out of the mid‑lake corridors have anglers boating good numbers of smaller stripers with the occasional chunky largemouth mixed in. Catches this past week have leaned heavily toward **striped bass** and **smallmouth**, with a sprinkling of **largemouth** and a few **walleye** for folks slowing down and dragging bottom. Most boats reporting in are seeing a dozen to a couple dozen stripers on a decent outing when they stay mobile, watch their electronics, and work the schools instead of camping one spot. Best producers right now: - For stripers: • White or pearl 2–3 inch soft‑plastic swimbaits on 3/8 oz jig heads • Chrome or shad‑pattern jigging spoons, 1/2–3/4 oz, worked vertically in 30–60 feet • Anchovies or cut shad on drop‑shot or Carolina rigs when the bite slows - For bass: • Green pumpkin or brown tube jigs and 3” hula grubs on 1/4 oz heads, dragged slow on rocky points • Ned rigs in natural shad or goby tones for finicky smallmouth • Finesse worms or craw‑style plastics on a shaky head around broken chunk rock Live or cut bait for stripers is still hard to beat when they get stubborn. Artificial‑only anglers should think “small and subtle” and let that bait soak near bottom. A couple of local hot spots to key on: - **Bullfrog to Halls Creek Bay:** Work the mouths of coves and main‑lake points in 25–50 feet. Watch for birds and bait on your graph; when you see clouds of shad, drop spoons right into them. - **Navajo Canyon near Wahweap:** Steep walls with sun on them by mid‑morning are holding both smallmouth and stripers. Cast swimbaits to the wall, count them down, and slow‑roll back to the boat. With quagga mussels firmly established here, Utah DWR is asking everyone to clean, drain, and dry boats thoroughly and plan for decontamination when moving between waters. Those mussels are thick on the structure now, so check your line often and be ready to retie.

We don’t worry about tides out here in Glen Canyon, but we *do* watch the light and the wind. Sunrise around the lake is right about 7:10 a.m. with sunset a little after 5:10 p.m., so your real feeding windows are that first 90 minutes of daylight and the last hour before dark, plus the low-light mid‑day if clouds build over the basin. Timeanddate’s Page data lines up with what we’re seeing on the water: chilly mornings near freezing, afternoons climbing into the upper 40s to low 50s, mostly clear and calm with only light breeze on the main channels. Cold water has the fish pushed off the flats and onto structure. The recent Lake Powell Utah Fishing Report Today podcast notes that smallmouth and largemouth are holding 20–35 feet down on broken rock and ledges, while stripers and walleye are suspending deeper off the main river channel edges. Anglers this past week have been boating good numbers of smallmouth in the 1–2 pound class, fair largemouth, solid striper counts when you stay on the schools, and a few bonus walleye and crappie mixed in. Best producers right now are slow, subtle presentations. For bass: - **Lures**: 2.8–3.8" swimbaits on 1/4–3/8 oz heads, green pumpkin or brown tube jigs, and Ned rigs in natural shad or craw colors. Work them painfully slow on rocky points and transition banks. - **Bait**: Nose‑hooked nightcrawlers or small shiners on drop‑shot rigs are putting fish in the boat when the artificials stop. Stripers are keying on shad. The podcast reports steady action on: - 1/2–3/4 oz white and chrome spoons vertical‑jigged over 40–80 feet. - Small umbrella rigs and deep‑diving shad cranks trolled 2–2.5 mph along channel breaks. If you’re set up for bait, anchoring and soaking cut anchovy or sardine on a simple Carolina rig is still a Lake Powell classic when you mark a school on the graph. Walleye are coming as by‑catch on the bass plastics, but folks dragging bottom‑bouncers with crawler harnesses along 25–35 foot shelves are picking up a few more, especially on overcast afternoons. Couple of local hot spots to try: - **Wahweap Bay and Stateline area**: Good mixed bag close to the ramp. Work the rocky points at the mouth of Wahweap for smallmouth, then slide out to the old river channel with spoons for stripers. - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing zone**: Stable winter pattern. Focus on wind‑blown points and submerged humps in 20–40 feet for bass, then chase birds and bait balls in the main channel for stripers. Water’s low and clear, so downsize your line: 6–8 lb fluoro for bass, 10–12 lb for spoons and trolling. Long casts and natural colors make a difference with that gin‑clear winter water.

Water's sittin' low at about 44% capacity per recent Colorado River Basin reports, but that just means more exposed structure for us anglers—fish are lovin' it. Weather's playin' nice today: sunny skies with highs pushin' 57-60°F around Bullfrog Marina, light winds from the WNW at 1-4 mph, per Fox Weather and KSL forecasts. No tides here in this big ol' reservoir, but expect calm conditions perfect for casting. Sunrise was at 7:03 AM, sunset 'round 5:11 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Fish activity's pickin' up with these mild temps runnin' 10-15° above normal. Striped bass are boilin' in schools near the surface, smallmouth and largemouth bass hittin' aggressive on points, and walleye prowlin' deeper rocky edges. Recent reports from local outfitters show limits of stripers up to 20 pounds, dozens of 2-4 lb smallies, and solid walleye hauls—folks pullin' 10-20 fish days easy. Crappie and catfish roundin' out the action too. Best lures right now? Toss **chartreuse or shad-pattern swimbaits** like Keitech Swing Impact for stripers, **jerkbaits** or drop-shot rigs with worms for bass. For walleye, go **jigheads with minnows** or nightcrawlers. Live bait kings are shad chunks or anchovies for stripers, worms or minnows for everything else—can't beat 'em when the bite's on. Hot spots: Hit **Padre Bay** for striper boils at first light, and **Bullfrog Bay points** for smallmouth—structure's loaded. Stay safe out there, check your regs, and wear that PFD.

Toss **chartreuse or shad-pattern swimbaits** like Keitech Swing Impact for stripers, **jerkbaits** or drop-shot rigs with worms for bass. For walleye, go **jigheads with minnows** or nightcrawlers. Live bait kings are shad chunks or anchovies for stripers, worms or minnows for everything else—can't beat 'em when the bite's on. Hot spots: Hit **Padre Bay** for striper boils at first light, and **Bullfrog Bay points** for smallmouth—structure's loaded. Stay safe out there, check your regs, and wear that PFD.

Out here the lake is sitting low and clear, with water temps riding cool in the mid‑50s to low‑60s on the main lake and a touch warmer in the backs of canyons. Light winds and high pressure over Bullfrog and Wahweap mean glassy mornings, a little afternoon chop, and bluebird skies, according to regional forecasts from WeatherWorld and the Park Service. Sunrise is right around 7:30 a.m., sunset just after 5 p.m., so your prime windows are that first hour of light and the last 90 minutes before dark. No tides to worry about on Powell, but daily wind pushes and fluctuating releases at the dam have the bait stacking on windblown points and in the first third of the canyons. Recent reports from local anglers and marina staff around Wahweap, Antelope, and Bullfrog say the bite’s been steady, not wild: plenty of **stripers**, a mix of **smallmouth**, some **largemouth**, and a bonus **walleye** here and there. Stripers have been coming in by the dozen on open‑water boils when birds are working, but most of the catching has been vertical: spoons and swimbaits over 40–80 feet of water on the old river channel edges. It’s common to put 15–30 schoolie stripers in the boat if you stay mobile and follow the graph. Night anglers soaking cut anchovy around the marinas are still boxing fish; quality runs 1–3 pounds with the odd bigger one. Smallmouth action has been solid on rocky points, ledges, and chunk rock shorelines. Numbers are good—10–20 fish days are realistic—with most bass in the 1–2 pound class. Largemouth are more tucked into flooded brush and timber in the backs of coves and canyons; not huge numbers, but a few solid fish every trip for folks willing to slow down. Best offerings right now: - For **stripers**: 1–1.5 oz jigging spoons in shad or chrome, white 3–4 inch paddle‑tail swimbaits on 3/8–1/2 oz heads, and cut anchovy on a simple Carolina or drop rig if you’re posting up near the docks or canyon walls at night. - For **smallmouth**: green pumpkin or brown tubes, Ned rigs, and 3 inch grubs dragged slowly from 10–25 feet. A shad‑colored jerkbait or small crankbait gets reaction bites when the breeze ruffles the surface. - For **largemouth**: compact jigs with a craw trailer pitched into brush, slow‑rolled spinnerbaits along flooded trees, and weightless or lightly weighted stickbaits around shade pockets. - For **walleye**: bottom‑bouncer with a crawler harness where you can get it, or a 3 inch grub / swimbait ticking bottom on mid‑lake flats and saddles at dawn and dusk. Couple of local hot spots to circle on your map: - **Wahweap Bay and the mouth of Antelope Canyon**: A reliable mix of stripers and smallmouth. Look for birds, bait balls on sonar, and vertical marks near the channel drop. Nighttime anchovy bite close to the marinas has been productive. - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing area, including Lake Canyon and Knowles Canyon**: Clearer water, great structure.

Out here the water’s sitting chilly but stable, with clear to lightly stained conditions and lake levels still on the low side after another lean water year, as reported by Coyote Gulch and other Colorado River watchers. That means lots of exposed structure, long tapering points, and miles of broken rock bank that are perfect winter fish magnets. Weather-wise, Bullfrog and Wahweap are waking up to clear, high‑pressure desert skies, light winds and daytime highs running in the upper 40s to low 50s with cold nights in the 30s, per the Bullfrog Marina forecast from WeatherWorld. Classic bluebird winter conditions: tougher in the middle of the day, better when the light is low. Sunrise is right around 7:20 a.m. with sunset just after 5 p.m. locally, so your prime feeding windows are that first hour of gray light and the last hour before the sun drops behind the cliffs. No tides on Powell – it’s a reservoir – but you do have a daily “tide” in the form of wind and sun. Calm, sunny afternoons push shad and stripers up on the warm rock, while a breeze stacks bait on windward points. Recent action has been textbook early‑winter. Local marina reports and dock talk have striped bass coming in steady on spoons and bait, especially around main‑lake humps and creek mouths in 40–80 feet. Anglers working vertical have been boxing good numbers of 1–3 pound stripers with some bonus walleye mixed in. Smallmouth have slid deeper but are still very catchable; think 20–35 feet on chunk rock, ledges, and broken shelves. Largemouth are fewer but better quality, holding to wood and steeper cuts in the backs of sunny canyons. Best lures right now are all about metal and subtle plastics: - For stripers and walleye, go with 1/2–1 ounce jigging spoons in silver, white, or shad patterns, dropped straight under the boat and snapped off bottom. White or glow tube jigs on 3/8–1/2 ounce heads are putting fish in the box too. - For smallmouth, downsized football jigs in brown or green pumpkin with a craw trailer, 2.8–3.3 inch finesse swimbaits on 1/4 ounce heads, and blade baits yo‑yoed along rock edges are the ticket. - If you’re soaking bait, anchovies remain king for stripers; cut shad or sardines work when you can’t find anchovy. Slow‑dragged nightcrawlers or minnows near bottom will pick off walleye and the odd smallmouth. Hot spots to circle: - The stretch from Bullfrog to Halls Creek Bay has been a solid winter producer, with stripers stacked on main‑lake points and the old river channel edges, especially where you can find 50–70 feet close to shallow rock. - Downlake, Warm Creek and the mouth of Navajo Canyon near Wahweap are holding good schools of stripers and some walleye on the breaks. Idle until you mark clouds of bait and arcs, then drop spoons right in their face.

We don’t worry about tides here – Powell’s a big desert reservoir, not a coastal system – so water level and weather are what matter.

Another Lake Powell‑specific report this week notes solid winter action on striped bass in 40–80 feet, plus pockets of cooperative smallies on sun‑soaked chunk rock. Recent catches have been dominated by: - Lots of **stripers**, mostly 1–3 pounds, coming on spoons and bait in the mid‑lake basins. - **Smallmouth** in the 1–2 pound class off rocky points and ledges. - A scattering of **largemouth** and **walleye** out of deeper saddles and brushy cuts when you hit them right.

Best bait: - Cut anchovies are still king for stripers. Drop them straight down on a double‑hook rig with a 1–2 oz sinker; once you get one fish going, the school often fires up. - Nightcrawlers and minnows on slip‑sinkers or jigheads for walleye and opportunistic smallmouth. A couple of local hot spots to try: - **Wahweap to Antelope canyon line**: Work the old river channel edges and major points. Use your graph, find the bait clouds in 40–80 feet, and drop spoons or anchovies right on their noses. - **Bullfrog / Halls Crossing area**: Long, rocky points and submerged humps just off the main channel have been holding both stripers and smallmouth.

We don’t worry about tides out here in canyon country, but we do care about light and weather. Around the main lake, sunrise is right around 7:20 a.m. with sunset near 5:10 p.m., giving us a short winter window. Early and late are still your best bets, with a solid mid‑day bump when the sun warms the rock walls. Weather across the lake is classic early winter desert: chilly at first light, climbing into the 40s to low 50s with mostly clear skies and light winds. Bundle up for the run, but you’ll be peeling layers once that sun hits the coves. Recent reports from local marinas and anglers around Wahweap and Bullfrog have striper schools still active but roaming deeper—30 to 60 feet over main channels and major cuts. Vertical jigging has put good numbers in the boat: it’s been common to see a couple of anglers box 20–40 eater‑size stripers on a half‑day when they stay on the graph and keep moving. Smallmouth bass are quieter but still very catchable. Think winter: slower presentations along chunk rock, bluff ends, and broken ledges in 15–35 feet. Expect smaller numbers but better quality. A handful of walleye are coming as by‑catch dragging worms or small swimbaits along the bottom in the same depth range, especially close to first and last light. Best lures right now: - For stripers: • One‑ounce silver or white jigging spoons • White or pearl soft‑plastic swimbaits on 1/2‑ to 3/4‑ounce heads • Heavy Kastmaster‑style blades when wind chops the surface - For smallmouth and walleye: • Green pumpkin or brown tube jigs, 3–4 inch, on 1/4‑ to 3/8‑ounce heads • Ned rigs in natural colors • Slow‑rolled 3‑inch paddle‑tails in shad or smoke Best bait: - Cut anchovies are still king for stripers. Drop them straight down to the marks, keep a steady trickle of small chunks going, and let the school build under the boat. - Nightcrawlers on a bottom‑bouncer or simple sliding sinker rig will pick off walleye and the occasional smallmouth on flats adjacent to deeper water. Two local hot spots to consider: - **Wahweap to Antelope area:** Work main‑lake points, the mouth of Antelope Canyon, and channel bends where you see big arcs stacked mid‑column. Great for spooning and anchovy rigs. - **Bullfrog/Halls Crossing:** Focus on the backs of major canyons and long tapering points—Good Hope and the Bullfrog/Halls channel edges have been solid when you follow the shad. Electronics matter now. Idle until you mark bait and game fish, then fish vertically instead of just beating the bank. Short strikes are common in the cold, so downsize, slow down, and let the fish load the rod before you swing. That’s your Lake Powell update from Artificial Lure.

Light winds are the rule, with only occasional mid-day gusts, so it’s very fishable if you layer up and keep the fingers warm. Water temps are cold and sliding toward their winter low, which pushes most game fish deeper and slows them down a notch. ## Sunrise, sunset, and “tides” Sunrise and sunset are short and sharp this time of year, and those low-light windows are your main feeding flurries. Think first light until the sun gets over the rim, then again the last hour before it tucks behind the cliffs. Being a desert reservoir, Powell doesn’t have true ocean tides, but you will see overnight level and current changes driven by dam operations; those subtle ups and downs can nudge bait and stack fish on breaks and the first edges off the bank. ## Fish activity and recent catch Stripers and walleye are the main players right now, with smallmouth bass still catchable but not charging the banks like spring. Most action is coming 25–60 feet down, on or near structure: ends of points, broken rock, and old channel swings. Recent boat reports talk about decent numbers of schoolie stripers and some chunky smallmouth, with walleye mixed in when you stay close to the bottom and move slow. It’s not a silly summer numbers bite, but patient anglers working vertically are putting respectable fish in the boat. ## Best lures and bait Cold water on Powell means “small, subtle, and down in their face”: - 1–2 ounce jigging spoons in white, chrome, or shad color for stripers under bait balls. - Soft-plastic shad-style swimbaits on 3/8–1/2 ounce heads, slow-rolled just off bottom. - Drop shots with small minnows or finesse worms for smallmouth on rocky breaks. - For walleye, bottom bouncers or jigs tipped with nightcrawler or minnow if you’re set up for bait. If you’re a bait angler, anchoring over marks and soaking cut anchovy or sardine for stripers still works when they’re schooled up. Just be ready to wait them out and chum lightly. ## Local hot spots Two areas worth serious attention: - **Wahweap Bay and out toward the main channel:** Easy access from the marinas, with winter stripers hanging on deep breaks and humps just off the old river channel. Idle around until you see tight bait clouds with arcs beneath them, then drop spoons or cut bait straight down. - **The lower San Juan arm:** When you can make the run, this stretch often fishes a bit more stained and can hold good mixed bags of stripers, walleye, and smallmouth on points and cuts 30–50 feet deep. Slow presentations along the first major breaks can pay off in quality. Work methodically, watch your electronics more than the shoreline, and think vertical rather than beating the bank.

Weather-wise, we're dealing with partly cloudy skies and temps in the mid-30s to low 40s. There's a weak storm system moving through the Four Corners area bringing some light snow to San Juan and Grand Counties, but minimal accumulation expected. Friday and Saturday will see some moisture creeping in from the Pacific Northwest, but today should be relatively dry overall. Now, here's what's important—water levels at Lake Powell have been a concern heading into winter. The reservoir could potentially drop low enough to impact hydropower generation by December 2026 if current drought conditions persist in the Upper Colorado River Basin. That's something to keep in mind for longer-term planning. For lures, the guys catching fish at Clear Lake have been having tremendous success with swimbaits—specifically G-Ratt Executioners and Jaw Jacks. ChatterBaits in green pumpkin with matching trailers are also doing solid work. If you want to dial it in even more, drop-shot rigs with Roboworms are proving reliable. Stick with those proven patterns and you should find some success. The recent reports show steady trophy potential, especially if you're targeting bigger fish. Early morning presentations along structure are your best bet before the sun climbs too high. Two hot spots I'd recommend: the deeper canyon sections where the stripers congregate, and the shallower flats near the northern arms where they're moving this time of year.

We're looking at some cold conditions out here today. Sunrise was around 7:41 this morning, and we'll be wrapping up around 5:15 this evening, so you've got a solid window to get out on the water. Temperature-wise, it's chilly – we're sitting in the low 30s, so bundle up and wear that life jacket. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The good news is we're seeing some solid action out here. Bass fishing remains strong this time of year, with both smallmouth and largemouth bass showing good catch rates. Anglers are having success with soft plastic worms, tube jigs, and drop-shot rigs. If you're targeting walleye, we're seeing decent bites on minnow imitations and feather jigs in pearl and chartreuse colors. For the trophy hunters out there, we've got some legitimate fall chinook salmon in the system right now. Biologists have been tracking them through the Sacramento-San Joaquin system, and they're making their way upriver. These fish are burning energy fast, so they're actively feeding. **Best Lures & Baits** For bass, work those jigs and soft plastics along deeper structures. Trolling with tube jigs and marabou patterns is producing. If you're shore fishing, garlic or corn-scented trout dough baits work wonders. For active anglers, cast spinners like Thomas Speedy Shiners and Rapala Originals – they'll get bit. **Hot Spots** Head toward the deeper channels and structure – that's where the bass are hanging this time of year. Current conditions data shows anglers targeting the 15 to 25-foot water column are seeing consistent results. The transition zones between shallow and deep water are prime territory right now. **Regulations Reminder** Keep in mind you can take six bass any size, four trout, and if you connect with a tiger muskie, it's gotta be over 40 inches. We're currently closed to spearfishing. Stay safe out there, wear your life jacket, and remember – Lake Powell's a beautiful but powerful place.

We're looking at some interesting conditions out on the water today as we head into early December. **Current Conditions** Lake Powell is sitting at about 29% capacity right now, which is pretty low but honestly typical for where we're at in the season. The drought situation continues to impact fish patterns across the lake. Weather-wise, December's starting dry for us here in Utah. We're looking at mainly dry conditions through the week with cooler temperatures expected Wednesday and Thursday. A weak system moved through yesterday bringing some wind, but nothing significant for us anglers today. It's going to be a decent day to get out on the water if you're dressed for it. **Fish Activity & What's Biting** Lake Powell remains known for its excellent bass fishing, and that's where your attention should be. Given the drought conditions we're experiencing, fish are congregating in deeper channels and around structure. The lake's low water levels mean fish are compressed into specific zones, which can actually work in your favor if you know where to look. **Best Lures & Bait** For bass fishing, stick with your darker-colored soft plastics and crankbaits. The low water clarity from drought conditions means fish are relying more on feeling vibrations, so don't hesitate to go with noisier lures. Live bait like shiners and crawfish remain solid choices if you want to go that route. The recent weather systems have fish on a feeding schedule, so your timing matters more than ever. **Hot Spots** Head toward the deeper main channel sections where Bullfrog Marina operates—that's where structure concentrates the fish. The areas around the submerged canyon formations north of Page tend to hold good populations even during low-water years. Thanks for tuning in to today's report.

Let me start with what we're looking at weather-wise. It's gonna be a beautiful day out on the water with sunny skies and temperatures climbing to around 89 degrees, with lows hanging around 70. Winds are light out of the ESE at about 8 miles per hour, so you're looking at pretty calm conditions on the lake. Sunrise this morning was around 6:23 AM, and you've got until about 4 o'clock to get in some solid fishing time before the sun dips below the horizon. Now, here's the tough reality we're dealing with—and I gotta be straight with you. Lake Powell's storage has hit a 30-year low as of late October, sitting at just 44% of typical storage capacity. That's the lowest we've seen for this date in three decades. The whole Intermountain West is dealing with significant drought conditions, so water levels are definitely something to keep in mind when you're planning your launch and knowing where the fish are holding. Fish-wise, spotted bass have been active in the deeper channel areas where they're chasing baitfish. Recent reports from similar lake systems show folks having success with shaky head rigs—specifically 3/16-ounce heads paired with green pumpkin-colored soft plastics. The classic wacky-rigged 5-inch Yamamoto Senko in green pumpkin is still producing, especially around structure and dock areas. If you want to throw swimbaits, traditional paddle-tail designs are outperforming the newer pintail and mini-fluke styles. For your hot spots, focus on the deeper channels where the spotted bass are congregating this time of year, and don't overlook the rocky points where they like to stage. The northern arms of the lake tend to hold better concentrations right now. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for your next fishing forecast!

High today around 54 degrees with a low of 36, so bundle up out there. The wind is coming from the southwest at 3 miles per hour with gusts up to 22, so conditions should be manageable for getting out on the water. Humidity is sitting at 43 percent, which is pretty decent for late November. **What's Biting** According to the latest fishing reports coming out of Lake Powell, we're seeing an early winter bite for both stripers and walleye right now. The cold weather has been triggering some solid feeding activity, and anglers have been reporting quality catches over the past couple days. **Best Tactics and Bait** For stripers, your go-to baits are blood worms and cut anchovies. If you're throwing lures, topwater pencil poppers are drawing aggressive strikes in the early morning. For walleye, soft plastics and jigging presentations are working best – drop your lures on 8 to 12 ounce heads depending on the depth you're fishing. Bluegill and bass are also present throughout the lake, so don't overlook panfish if you want some action-packed fishing. **Hot Spots** Head toward the deeper structure near Bullfrog Marina – the rocky ledges and underwater points are concentrating fish right now. Also check out the canyon waters where current breaks are forming. These areas have been producing solid numbers. **Final Thoughts** Make sure you've got your fishing license before you head out, grab quality gear, and get on the water early. The early winter bite won't last forever, so take advantage of these conditions while they're here. Thanks for tuning in, and please subscribe for daily updates on Lake Powell fishing conditions.

Let's dive into what's happening out on the water today. **Weather and Conditions** We're looking at sunny skies this morning with temperatures hovering between 29 and 31 degrees Fahrenheit. Light and variable winds are keeping things calm on the water—perfect conditions for getting out there. Sunrise was around 7:07 AM, so you've still got some prime early-morning light, and sunset comes in at 5:08 PM. The lake is running at 29% capacity right now, so water levels are definitely something to keep in mind as you're navigating out there. **Fish Activity** While Lake Powell's been a bit quiet lately compared to our Puget Sound reports, this is a solid time to be targeting stripers and walleye in the deeper structure. The cooler water temps we're seeing—right around 49 to 51 degrees—are pushing fish toward deeper channels and rocky points. Late fall bite windows are typically best during early morning and late evening, so make your move soon after sunrise. **Lures and Bait** For stripers, throw lipless crankbaits in various sizes—1/2-ounce options are working well. ChatterBaits with small trailers are solid choices too. If you're mooching, cut-plug herring and live shiners will get bites. For walleye, spoons in glow finishes and small jigging presentations near the bottom are your bread and butter. Don't overlook swimbaits jigged along structure—they're deadly this time of year. **Hot Spots** Bullfrog Marina area is your go-to launch point with good access to deeper water. Work the main channel structure and rocky points—that's where the fish are staging right now. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure to subscribe for daily updates on Lake Powell and beyond.

We're looking at a beautiful Friday morning on the water, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up nicely for getting out there. **Weather & Conditions** We're starting the day with calm conditions and temperatures hovering around 34 degrees. Expect mostly sunny skies with light winds throughout the day—perfect for getting on the water without dealing with rough chop. The UV index is moderate, so bring your sunscreen. Sunrise was early this morning around 7 AM, and we've got until about 5 PM before it gets dark, so you've got a solid eight hours of prime fishing time. **Current Lake Status** Lake Powell is sitting at 29 percent capacity as of late November, which means we're dealing with lower water levels than historical averages. The Colorado River system overall is running at about 37 percent capacity, so water conditions are lean but fishable. **Recent Fish Activity** Here's the good news—crappies have been making a strong comeback in the Utah Lake system and are in excellent health. Anglers heading out recently reported healthy populations, which bodes well for our Lake Powell prospects today. **Best Baits & Lures** Based on recent tournament success in similar Southwest waters, you'll want to focus on ChatterBaits and lipless crankbaits in crawfish patterns. Specifically, try 3/8 to 1/2-ounce options. If you're working shallower areas, swimbaits in 5-inch sizes work tremendous. Live bait is always reliable—bring some crawfish if you can source them locally. Spinnererbaits with double willow blades also produce well this time of year when mimicking shad. **Hot Spots to Hit** Head toward the deeper canyon areas where crappies congregate during late November. The structure-rich areas near old creek beds and submerged timber are money spots right now. Also check the marina areas where baitfish tend to congregate—crappies follow the food. **Final Thoughts** November's a prime time on Lake Powell with cooler water temperatures bringing fish to predictable depths. Get out there early, work those structure areas with your ChatterBaits, and you should have yourself a solid day on the water. Thanks so much for tuning in to today's report!

What a great time to get out on the water! Let me start with the conditions. Sunrise is hitting around 7:15 AM, and we're losing light at 5:00 PM, giving you a solid eight-hour window. The weather today is looking pretty manageable – expect mostly clear skies with temperatures climbing to around 54 degrees by afternoon. Winds are light and variable, so lake conditions should be excellent for getting out there. Now, here's the hot fishing intel. The fish have been firing up big time this week. Recent heavy precipitation in the region has water moving, and that's got everything activated. In the lower stretches, catfish are absolutely your bread and butter right now. Drift cut bait, livers, or catfish nuggets near pools and eddies – you'll connect with solid numbers. For trout, work those upper reaches with larger flies and lures. Woolly buggers in slack water are absolute killers for landing big ones. Spoon lures like the Jakes Lil Jake Spin-A-Lure or Acme Little Cleo Diamond Series are solid choices when the sun's high. Best times are early morning and just before sunset when fish are most active. During midday when light gets intense, hit those deep coves. Focus on main basin structure and rocky points where water drops off – these transition zones hold quality fish all day long. Thanks so much for tuning in!

What a great time to get out on the water! Let me start with the conditions. Sunrise is hitting around 7:15 AM, and we're losing light at 5:00 PM, giving you a solid eight-hour window. The weather today is looking pretty manageable – expect mostly clear skies with temperatures climbing to around 54 degrees by afternoon. Winds are light and variable, so lake conditions should be excellent for getting out there. Now, here's the hot fishing intel. The fish have been firing up big time this week. Recent heavy precipitation in the region has water moving, and that's got everything activated. In the lower stretches, catfish are absolutely your bread and butter right now. Drift cut bait, livers, or catfish nuggets near pools and eddies – you'll connect with solid numbers. For trout, work those upper reaches with larger flies and lures. Woolly buggers in slack water are absolute killers for landing big ones. Spoon lures like the Jakes Lil Jake Spin-A-Lure or Acme Little Cleo Diamond Series are solid choices when the sun's high. Best times are early morning and just before sunset when fish are most active. During midday when light gets intense, hit those deep coves. Focus on main basin structure and rocky points where water drops off – these transition zones hold quality fish all day long. Thanks so much for tuning in!

Let me tell you, we've got some great conditions shaping up out there on the water today. First things first – sunrise is hitting around 7:15 AM, and we'll be losing light around 5:00 PM, so you've got a solid eight-hour window to make the most of it. The Utah Fishing Channel has been reporting hot fall fishing action around Lake Powell, especially with Thanksgiving week upon us. This is prime time, folks. Now, here's what we're working with weather-wise. We've had some serious precipitation moves through the region recently – some spots in northern Utah picked up 200 to 400 percent of normal rainfall back in October. That kind of water movement gets the fish fired up. We're looking at relatively calm conditions today compared to what's been hitting the Turnpike further north, so lake conditions should be pretty manageable for getting out there. The fishing has been excellent on Lake Powell. Catfish are your bread and butter in the lower stretches – drift cut bait, livers, or catfish nuggets near the pools and eddies, and you'll connect. For trout, you want to work those upper reaches with larger flies and lures. Woolly buggers in slack water are absolute killers for landing big ones. Spoon lures like the Jakes Lil Jake Spin-A-Lure or Acme Little Cleo Diamond Series are solid choices when the sun's high. Best times are early morning and just before sunset – that's when the fish are most active. I'd recommend hitting the deep coves during midday when the light gets intense.

The thermometer started in the low 40s, warming to a brisk 53°F through midday, and light winds out of the east kept the water calm early. WeatherWorld.com says we’ll stay sunny through the day, with highs around 53°F and lows dipping to 42°F overnight. No tidal movement here, but post-frontal conditions mean bright light and a shallow bite early, especially in shadowed coves. Stripers and smallmouth bass are still driving most of the action. Local chatter and the Lake Powell Chronicle say striped bass schools are pushing shad up against the rocks and into the backs of canyons and creek arms, especially near Wahweap and the southern channel approaches. Anglers are filling coolers with smaller stripers, with solid limits coming from the mouth of Warm Creek and off the points near Navajo Canyon. Smallmouth bass remain stacked along chunk rock banks and submerged brush, feeding aggressively before winter. The best catches this week came on soft plastics—green pumpkin tubes and 3-inch swimbaits on light jig heads—fished slow and deep, especially in the afternoon when the water warms up a tick. For stripers, the hot ticket is working spoons and anchovy-tipped jigs vertically through the schools marked on sonar, with morning hours best before they scatter deeper. Folks using anchovy cut bait squared up good numbers, and some larger fish up to the three-pound mark were reported. Lure recommendations: try silver Kastmasters or bucktail jigs dressed with a bit of anchovy for stripers, and for smallmouth, green pumpkin tube baits, Ned rigs, and small swimbaits like Keitech Easy Shiner have pulled the most bites. If you’re after walleye—which are less common but possible this time of year—slow-rolled crankbaits like Rapala Shad Raps along rocky drop-offs after sunset can tease out a bite. Fresh or salted anchovies are working best for stripers when the artificial bite slows midday. Night anglers snag a few catfish using chicken liver off sandy beaches near Antelope Point. Hot spots today: Wahweap Marina entrance is seeing stripers schooling on shad, best action between 7 am and 10 am. Navajo Canyon points offer a mix of smallmouth and striper, with tubes and jigs taking both. Warm Creek mouth is a bait fisherman’s dream, with eating-size stripers filling coolers before the wind picks up. With the lake sitting at roughly 67% of normal water levels, many shoreline structures are exposed. That means fish are relating tight to cover, and your best bet is to cast right up against visible rock and wood. Afternoon warms bring cruising bass shallow—prime time for those tossing jerkbaits or working plastics slow. No big tournaments on the books today, so the lake’s yours—just keep an eye on the wind in the afternoon and plan to tuck into a cove if it picks up. Fish activity should remain steady as long as the sun’s shinin This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re easing into late fall out here on Powell, and as of this Friday, sunrise hit at 7:17 AM with sunset coming at 5:09 PM. Weather today’s looking crisp: expect partly cloudy skies, light winds, and a high near 54°F—perfect conditions for those willing to bundle up and chase some November action. No tides here in the high desert, but water levels remain low and steady after a dry summer, with Coyote Gulch reporting flows down near 150 cfs back in August and minimal change since. Striped bass continue to headline the catch, holding deep in main channels and popping up around canyon mouths. While Utah’s biggest was the legendary 48 lb 11 oz striper caught here in ‘91, most folks this week have seen steady catches in the 3–8 lb range—solid fighters for sure. Smallmouth bass are still quite active, hitting rocky points and ledges with consistency, especially midday when the sun’s on the stones. Walleye are scattered but snagged in the shallows, mostly early or late when light’s low. A few crappie are showing up in the backs of Halls and Navajo Canyons, though numbers are way down compared to spring. The feeding windows are prime from first light until 10 AM, and again late afternoon as shadows stretch and baitfish school up. Stripers are herding shad in shallow coves, so keep an eye out for surface boils or bird activity. Big schools are marking from 40–90 feet on sonar, and jigging vertically with spoons or soft plastics has been best. If you’re wondering what’s producing, locals are sticking to classic fall lures. For stripers: - 1–2 oz white or chartreuse jigging spoons - Zoom flukes or swim shads on ½–¾ oz heads - Live anchovy chunks if you can net some Smallmouth are slamming natural-colored tube jigs and 3” curly-tails in green pumpkin. Ned rigs and drop-shot Roboworms are pulling plenty off rocky drop-offs near Lone Rock and Warm Creek. Walleye are feeding on slow-rolled chartreuse grubs tipped with nightcrawler—nothing fancy, just methodical bottom-bouncing works. The reports from BigFishTackle and other forums say boaters working main lake points are filling limits on stripers—sometimes 20 fish or more a trip when sticking with the vertical jig method. Bank anglers near Wahweap and Antelope are landing fewer, but still picking up a handful of bass or stripers at dawn and dusk. Crappie remain scattered; best bets are brush piles near Dangling Rope. Hot spots today: - **Buoy 25**: Striper schools on sonar, deep-water jigging strong. - **Bullfrog Marina cove**: Smallmouth cruising shallow cover and hitting tubes. Also keep an eye on **Face Canyon**—birds and boils mean stripers and even a few walleye in the mix. No illegal introductions lately but Utah DWR reminds everyone: if you catch something unusual, don’t toss it in another lake, help preserve the fishery!

We’re waking up to warm fall temps—expect highs nearing 89°F by midday with a mild breeze out of the southwest and patchy, light rain sneaking through. Surface water is still holding some warmth, but slicks show good bait movement, delivering prime conditions for stripers, bass, and walleye activity today. Sunrise hit at 6:12 a.m. and sunset’s stretching out to 8:24 p.m., so you’ll have a long window to work the water under both brilliant light and evening calm. First, for the tidal-minded: Lake Powell’s a reservoir, so tides aren’t a factor here. Instead, focus your energy around sunrise and sunset’s feeding peaks—especially as stripers and smallmouth cruise for shad along shallows, points, and rocky shelves. According to the most recent Lake Powell fishing report from Spreaker, stripers are schooling aggressively ahead of the winter chill; catches have been strong throughout November, with anglers reporting double-digit mornings using both bait and lures in open water as well as the backs of major canyons. Stripers are the headline, but smallmouth bass are still biting on structure. Anglers are averaging 10–20 stripers per outing, mostly in the 1–4 lb range, with an uptick in quality near cliff walls and channel drop-offs. Walleye numbers have stayed solid, especially on deep flats and around brush piles, with fish taking both jigs and crankbaits. Catfish and the occasional slab crappie round out the crews pulling up from brush and sunken timber, especially after sunset or on heavy overcast days. Best lures right now: For stripers, keep a stash of white or silver soft swimbaits (3–5 inches), spoons like the Kastmaster, and classic shad-pattern crankbaits. Umbrella rigs are turning heads when fish start busting shad in open water. Drop-shot rigs and 1/4–3/8 ounce jig heads tipped with minnow plastics or Gulp! minnows have produced limits when worked off main lake points. If you’re running bait, Anchovies remain the hot ticket—especially chunked and tight-lined at 30–60 feet on electronics-marked schools. Nightcrawlers and cut bait also work for the cats and walleye. For bass, a green pumpkin shaky head or Ned rig is a go-to. Reaction strikes are coming on deep-diving craw or perch-pattern cranks over rock piles and submerged ledges. Topwater’s fizzled with the colder water, but a subtle jerkbait can still tempt the biggest smallies on windy points. According to Tackle Talk Podcast, November’s cool, clear conditions reward anglers who slow down and fish the bottom thoroughly with finesse plastics. Hot spots you should try: The mouth of Iceberg Canyon is stacked with schooling stripers at dawn—drop a spoon and watch your sonar light up. For bass, target the rocky flats and shelves around Padre Bay and Last Chance Bay, picking apart submerged structure with soft plastic This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

As of November 19th, we’re greeted with classic desert autumn—cool mornings, crisp blue skies, and highs right around 66°F, with overnight temps dipping near 46. According to CustomWeather, sunrise cracks at 6:43 a.m. and we get a sunset at 5:36 p.m. We don’t have much tidal fluctuation on freshwater Lake Powell, so you can focus on wind and sun position to time your best bite. Word from the docks and the Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Today podcast is that stripers, smallmouth bass, and a few walleye are the big tickets this week. The late fall transition has the stripers schooling tighter, and the best catches are still coming in from deeper water—think 30 to 60 feet, especially when the lake’s surface is calm and those high desert sunbeams are hitting strong midmorning or late afternoon. Live shad, if you can net ‘em, is a dynamite pick around structure and deeper creek arms. If you’re tossing artificials, don’t go anywhere without silver slab spoons, 3- to 4-inch paddle-tail swimbaits, or white or chartreuse jigging spoons—those are turning striper heads in the channels and near drop-offs. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns is also producing steady catches. For bait anglers, anchovy chunks or cut bait fished on a drop shot around the fish-cleaning stations and marina lights after twilight is a proven winner. Smallmouth bass are still biting, though they’re getting a touch more tight-lipped as temps drop. The best success is coming on slow presentations: try brown or green soft plastics—think tubes and Ned rigs—hugging rocky points and flats. Size down your jigs and let those baits soak, especially after midmorning when the sun warms the rocks. Early risers still get a popper or surface walker bite near the backs of coves shortly around sunrise. Recent dock reports and online forums confirm that several boats are limiting out on stripers most mornings, with typical hauls in the 8-15 fish range for groups drifting the Main Channel near Glen Canyon Dam. Smallmouth numbers are still good for persistent anglers—expect 10-20 fish days working the rocky shorelines between Wahweap and Warm Creek Bay, mostly in the 1-2 pound class. Your current hot spots? The mouth of Navajo Canyon and the stretch between Antelope Point and the dam are producing strong striper and bass action.

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:36:30 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, bringing you today’s fishing report for Lake Powell, Utah, and folks, the late fall bite is hanging on strong even as the chill creeps in. As of November 19th, we’re greeted with classic desert autumn—cool mornings, crisp blue skies, and highs right around 66°F, with overnight temps dipping near 46. According to CustomWeather, sunrise cracks at 6:43 a.m. and we get a sunset at 5:36 p.m. We don’t have much tidal fluctuation on freshwater Lake Powell, so you can focus on wind and sun position to time your best bite. Word from the docks and the Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Today podcast is that stripers, smallmouth bass, and a few walleye are the big tickets this week. The late fall transition has the stripers schooling tighter, and the best catches are still coming in from deeper water—think 30 to 60 feet, especially when the lake’s surface is calm and those high desert sunbeams are hitting strong midmorning or late afternoon. Live shad, if you can net ‘em, is a dynamite pick around structure and deeper creek arms. If you’re tossing artificials, don’t go anywhere without silver slab spoons, 3- to 4-inch paddle-tail swimbaits, or white or chartreuse jigging spoons—those are turning striper heads in the channels and near drop-offs. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns is also producing steady catches. For bait anglers, anchovy chunks or cut bait fished on a drop shot around the fish-cleaning stations and marina lights after twilight is a proven winner. Smallmouth bass are still biting, though they’re getting a touch more tight-lipped as temps drop. The best success is coming on slow presentations: try brown or green soft plastics—think tubes and Ned rigs—hugging rocky points and flats. Size down your jigs and let those baits soak, especially after midmorning when the sun warms the rocks. Early risers still get a popper or surface walker bite near the backs of coves shortly around sunrise. Recent dock reports and online forums confirm that several boats are limiting out on stripers most mornings, with typical hauls in the 8-15 fish range for groups drifting the Main Channel near Glen Canyon Dam. Smallmouth numbers are still good for persistent anglers—expect 10-20 fish days working the rocky shorelines between Wahweap and Warm Creek Bay, mostly in the 1-2 pound class. Your current hot spots? The mouth of Navajo Canyon and the stretch between Antelope Point and the dam are producing strong striper and bass action. Look for boils on warmer afternoons and watch your electronics for those heavy schools. If you’re willing to cruise north, Padre Bay’s submerged humps are still producing a mix of walleye and smallmouth. A few tips: Downsize lures if the bite slows—finesse is key as water cools down.

November 18 brings us cool, overcast conditions with highs hovering near 40°F and the wind staying moderate out of the southwest, according to WeatherWorld’s forecast for Bullfrog Marina. With these chillier days, water temps have taken their autumn dip—a cue for many species here to start schooling up and feeding before winter really locks in. Sunrise today came at 7:10 AM, and sunset’s landing right around 5:17 PM, so anglers have a crisp, narrow window for those prime morning and late afternoon bites—that’s when the fish are snapping and you’ll want to be on your game. Tides don’t play a role here on the lake, but any wind—especially southwest—will stack baitfish and stir some current along rocky shorelines and canyon walls. The hot fish this week have been striped bass, and reports from the Wahweap and Lone Rock areas say they’re schooled up and chewing aggressively, especially near channel drops and inflowing creek mouths. Target striper in 30 to 60 feet of water—vertical jigging spoons like Kastmasters, or dropping cut anchovy on a Carolina rig, are both producing heavy boxes. Anglers are routinely pulling 10 to 25 stripers a day from these zones. Over on the main lake, uplake from Bullfrog and Halls Crossing, similar schools are firing as baitfish get pushed into the backs of coves. Smallmouth bass haven’t quit yet. Focus on deeper ledges and rocky points in 18–35 feet, particularly around Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon. Ned rigs in green pumpkin, smoke, and perch tones are dynamite. Don’t count out drop-shot finesse worms or small swimbaits—keep it subtle and crawl and hop those baits right over rock piles. According to local boat traffic and social media chatter, three- and four-pound smallies are still being caught, with a few going bigger for those who put in the hours. Walleye are there for the taking if you slow-roll grubs or troll deep-diving crankbaits along channel swings and gravel humps, particularly early and late in the day. Try a chartreuse jig with a minnow if you want to mix it up. Best baits right now for all species? For stripers: cut anchovies, silver spoons, and white paddle-tail swimbaits. Bass are keying on natural crayfish and shad imitations, so reach for those green pumpkin or shad-colored Ned rig plastics, and you won’t go wrong. Live nightcrawlers or minnows under a slip bobber will bag panfish and the occasional walleye. Crappie action is spotty but improving in the brushy pockets and floating debris lines uplake—use small plastic tube jigs in chartreuse or pink. For your hot spots, don’t miss: - The mouth of Navajo Canyon for both stripers and smallmouth - The submerged rock piles between Bullfrog and Halls Crossing, especially at the first light Boat ramps are open, and conditions are stable, but always check for updated lake levels—recent flows dropped to about 150 cfs This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s a beautiful late-fall day to be on the water, with partly cloudy skies and temps starting out just a couple degrees above freezing this morning and warming quickly—expect highs near 36°F, with winds light out of the northeast around 5 mph according to WeatherWorld.com. Humidity’s running just over 60%, and visibility is excellent. Sunrise came at 7:07 AM with sunset set for 5:14 PM, so you’ve got a little more than ten solid hours of light to get it done today. Now, there’s no tidal effect to worry about on good old Lake Powell—it’s all freshwater, and that means conditions on the water depend on weather and dam output, not the moon. With stable barometric pressure holding—just under 30 inches—expect fish activity to be moderate through the late morning, with a real uptick coming late in the afternoon as things warm up. Recent reports from regulars and guides echo what we’ve seen through most of November: striper action has stayed consistent, even heating up as water temps drop, driving those big schools to ball up shad and pin them near the surface in some of those deeper coves. Most folks trolling or casting for stripers are reporting solid numbers, with limits coming pretty quick when they land on a feeding school. Some are even reporting double digits, mostly 2-4 pounders, with the odd 8+ pounder showing up. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are still biting in rocky slots and points—smaller numbers, but better size, as the summer dinks have moved deeper. Catfish reports are thinning out, but the ones caught—especially near Wahweap and Antelope—are running chunky, hitting cut bait or chicken livers right by dusk. Best baits today? For stripers, you can't beat casting white or silver spoons, small swimbaits, or trolling deep-diving crankbaits that resemble shad. Kastmasters and jigging spoons are killer right now—get them down quick and rip them through the bait clouds on those main channel humps. On calm mornings, throw topwater walkers like a Zara Spook or Rebel Pop-R into the jump activity just after sunrise. Bass are hitting finesse rigs—think Ned rigged craws, green pumpkin tubes, or drop-shot worms worked slow along the broken rock and ledges. If you hit deeper water off points, try a jigging spoon or a small swimbait. For catfish, stick with traditional stinkbaits, cut anchovy, or chicken liver around the mouths of warm coves in the evening. If you want to find some hot spots, set your sights on the stretch between Antelope Point and Warm Creek for striper boils. Navajo Canyon has also been producing, especially near the mouth where shad are thick. For bass, the rocky shores around Padre Bay and the ledges near Dangling Rope still have solid action, especially as things warm up mid-morning. No major pressure changes or storms expected until Thursday, but keep an eye on the wind—it can swing fast this time of year.

It’s a crisp fall morning across the canyons and big water. Sunrise lit up the sandstone at 6:43 a.m., and there’s a chill in the air with temps starting in the low 50s and warming to the mid-70s by the afternoon—perfect fall weather, clear skies, and barely a breeze. No tide action to worry about here, just a steady, glassy surface most of the day. Sunset will roll in at 5:36 p.m., so you’ve got about eleven solid hours on the lake to make something happen according to timeanddate.com. The bite? It’s steady and hot before breakfast and just before sunset. The stripers are still chasing shad in the backs of coves and along the ledges, and schools are rolling through in the 30–60 foot depths. Reports coming in this week say anglers are pulling in solid numbers of striped bass, with many fish weighing in the 3–5 lb range, especially if you land on a good boil. Smallmouth bass up to 3 lbs are mixed in, with a few chunky largemouth and some cooperative walleye showing in the creel counts from the last few days—Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Today on Spreaker confirms the pattern, and the fishing’s been classic late-fall strong. Best lures right now? If you’re targeting stripers, shad-patterned crankbaits and chrome or white jigging spoons are the MVPs; throw a 1- to 2-ounce jigging spoon vertically over marked schools, or sling a white Kastmaster into bait balls. Don’t overlook a 3–5 inch swimbait in shad or pearl—slow-roll it off rocky drop-offs for both stripers and smallmouth. The topwater bite at dawn can be electric—Zara Spooks and Whopper Ploppers across shallow flats are drawing blast strikes when it’s calm. For the finesse crew, Ned rigs and green pumpkin tubes are deadly for smallmouth around the rocks and shelves. Walleye are taking crawler harnesses or silver blade baits slow-trolled over gravel. Natural baits? Anchovy is still king for stripers—cut it, chum lightly, and tight-line down around 50 feet, especially near the dam or major coves like Wahweap Bay. Nightcrawlers and cut shad are pulling in catfish in the evening hours off the muddy banks. Hot spots today: Wahweap Bay is loaded with stripers; work the deeper flats off the houseboat docks and you’ll see those schools stack up, especially with a little chum. Navajo Canyon is holding massive shad balls and the best striper boils at sunrise and sunset—anchor and drift cut anchovy for a great shot. Last Chance Bay’s rocky points are another fall favorite, with both bass and stripers on the chew along ledges. If walleye are your target, try the gravel bar transitions at the mouth of Antelope Point late in the day. Boat traffic is minimal with the season winding down, but keep an eye on newly exposed rock piles with the lake still sitting low. Wildlife officers want to remind everyone: don’t move bait or live fish between reservoirs—let’s protect this amazing fishery for the future.

Temperature's hovering right around 62 degrees at Lake Powell, Arizona, with humidity sitting at 25 percent. That barometric pressure of 30.06 inches is holding steady—good sign for stability. You'll want to get out there early; sunrise was at 6:43 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 5:36 tonight, so you've got a solid ten hours and fifty-three minutes of daylight to work with. **Fish Activity** Now here's where it gets exciting. Smallmouth bass are feeding actively right now along the rocky points. We're getting reports from the shoreline around Lone Rock and the first set of canyons near Padre Bay where fish are absolutely biting strong. This late fall period before the winter chill sets in has those bass aggressive and hungry. **What's Working** For smallmouth, you're going to want to throw finesse presentations. A Rattlin' Ned in smelt or green pumpkin colors on a light drop-shot rig is crushing it right now. Match that with a 3/8 to 3/4-ounce weight, and you'll be in business. Don't overlook green pumpkin jigs either—they're producing solid results this time of year. Stick with spinning rods in the seven to seven-and-a-half-foot range with 8 to 10-pound fluorocarbon leaders. **Hot Spots to Check** I'd definitely head toward Lone Rock first thing. The rocky structure there is holding quality fish. Then make your way into Padre Bay and work those first canyon systems—that's where the action's been concentrated. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Powell report, folks. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates, and remember to practice catch-and-release to keep our fishery strong.

Current conditions out at Powell are prime for late fall: as of this morning, we’re getting *partly cloudy skies*, temps climbing to a comfortable 79 degrees by mid-afternoon, with a gentle south-southwest wind topping out around 10-13 mph. Sunrise in Page was at 7:18 a.m. and anglers can expect sunset at 5:19 p.m.—giving you a solid, crisp window for some real action as the days squeeze down before winter, according to the Fox Weather forecast for the region. Lake Powell continues to run dry, but the drought has been less severe this week, though water remains low and clear. The surface temps are dipping into the mid-to-high 50s, which means baitfish are schooling tight and big predators are chasing them on long, sloping points and canyon mouths. Water clarity is excellent—so think natural presentations and precise casts. Fish activity is strong right at first light and toward sunset. Big largemouth and smallmouth bass are feeding up ahead of winter. Word from the marinas and Facebook fish groups is that the main lake points—especially near Wahweap and Bullfrog—have seen a steady showing of quality bass, with some over 3 pounds reported the last couple of days. Striped bass schools are popping up from Padre Bay to Good Hope Bay, especially in the open water when shad bunch up. Trollers have put up numbers in the dozens when finding active boils at dawn, mixing striper and walleye catches. For lures, your November MVPs are: - **Topwater poppers and walking baits** at first light—Zara Spooks or Whopper Ploppers flashed across shallow flats will draw explosive strikes from cruising bass when the wind is down. - **Swimbaits and soft plastic paddle tails** (3-5 inches, in shad or pearl) slow-rolled along drop-offs and rock transitions—these are fooling both smallmouth and chunky stripers. - **Jigging spoons and blade baits** in white or chrome are putting in heavy work for stripers and walleye, especially when marked on the finder in 25-60 feet. Drop straight into suspended schools. - For slower afternoons, rig up a **green pumpkin tube jig** or classic Ned rig for the smallmouth hugging deeper structure. If bait’s your game, fresh anchovies or cut shad are still the classic ticket for stripers—either tight-lined from the shore or drifted behind the boat. Nightcrawlers on drop-shot rigs are nailing walleye and the occasional fat panfish along sandy banks. The best action lately has been around the mouth of Navajo Canyon and near the dam at Wahweap for those after numbers, while up the lake, Tapestry Wall and Buoy 25 have seen some real quality smallmouth roll in. Don’t sleep on Last Chance Bay either—reports this week have a few solid stripers blitzing right at daybreak where cooler runoff meets main channel water. Lake Powell doesn’t have a true tidal swing, so focus on wind direction and time of day for your timing.

If you’re waking up in southern Utah this morning, you’re greeted by crisp fall air and a sunrise that hit the water at 7:07 AM, with sunset set for 5:13 PM. Winds are light today, with temps starting near 37°F, climbing into the low 60s by mid-afternoon. Skies are clear so expect great visibility and lots of sun as you work the shoreline or get out on the main lake. Lake Powell’s water level continues to stir up regional debate. According to recent coverage from Phys.org, the lake sits well below historic averages, but water release negotiations are ongoing, and it’ll be a slow trek back to regular levels. These lower conditions mean more exposed structure and some tricky navigation in the shallows. Drought means the bite is more reliant than ever on transitions and changing water temperatures. For anyone hoping for a tidal report: Lake Powell’s a reservoir—no actual ocean tides. What matters are overnight wind, barometric shifts, and moon phase. With November’s thin crescent, bass and stripers tend to stay active into mid-day, especially if you’re targeting structure out past the newly exposed points. Fish activity is classic late fall: slower at dawn, then picking up after mid-morning. Anglers yesterday reported slower action first thing, but the best catching started near noon and stayed steady into the afternoon hours. Word from BigFishTackle’s local forum is that this pattern has held steady over several days, so set your expectations accordingly. Now, the catches—here’s how things stack up: - Striped bass are still coming on deep vertical jigs, with several local boats pulling in limits from depths of 40 to 60 feet around Wahweap Bay and the channel near the dam. - Smallmouth bass numbers aren’t huge, but the ones caught are chunky, taking soft plastic tubes and drop-shot presentations off ledges and rocky points. - Walleye are slow but present. A few sharpies are scoring fish near the mouth of Navajo Canyon with slow-trolled, deep-diving crankbaits. - Crappie and sunfish are deeper than usual, holding tight to submerged brush piles—most success here is with small hair jigs tipped with a bit of worm. Best lures and baits? Locals swear by shad-pattern crankbaits and jigging spoons for stripers; if you have them, drop a white or silver Kastmaster down into bait balls and work vertical. For smallmouth, go with green pumpkin or chartreuse soft plastics. If fishing for walleye, choose firetiger or perch-pattern plugs. Live bait is hit-or-miss, but shad or anchovy chunks are the way to go for stripers, especially near the dam and the big coves. If you’re planning your attack, here are two hot spots: - Wahweap Bay: The deeper flats off the houseboat docks are holding schools of stripers. Drop your jig deep and bounce along the bottom for fast action. - Antelope Point: Smallmouth are stacked around the boulder fields and submerged trees.

Classic late-fall shuffle on the canyons this morning: skies are clear, air crisp, and fish are still biting if you know where to poke around. Weather's looking prime for anglers—expect the mercury up near 66°F in the afternoon, overnight lows in the lower 50s. The water’s cooling off quickly, sitting mid to upper 50s on the surface, cooling more overnight. Sunrise hit at 7:07 a.m., sunset will be close to 5:23 p.m.—those golden hours bookend the best bite. Winds are gentle out of the southwest, just enough to ripple the water but nothing to fight against, reported through sites like PredictWind and local marinas. No tides to sort out here, of course, but water levels are still on the lower end—around 413 feet at the dam per the Lake Powell Water Database. That means more structure is exposed, and fish are a bit more concentrated around drop-offs and submerged shelves. Drought’s still gripping the region, so stay mindful near ramps and plan your launches accordingly. Fish activity has slowed slightly with the cooler water, but hardcores with an early start are boxing plenty before midday. Stripers are leading the charge in terms of numbers and size. Most action’s coming from main channel points and deep bays like Warm Creek and Navajo. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits and umbrella rigs has had folks hauling in 15–25 stripers most mornings, mostly 1–3 pounds with a few better fish in the mix—according to updates from wayneswords dot com and local guide chatter. For bait, nothing’s beating cut anchovy. Drop baits down 40–60 feet along deeper ledges, and if you chum a bit you’ll see those schools stack up right under the boat. Lure aficionados are doing damage on 3- to 5-inch shad or chartreuse soft plastics, slow-rolled on jig heads. That’s pulling double duty—picking up both stripers and smallies, especially on rocky ledges and cliff drop-offs. For bass, smallmouth especially, going finesse is money: try a drop-shot with green pumpkin or shad-colored worms, or a slow-dragged tube jig. Largemouths are an occasional nice bonus, usually coming from inside coves with timber and submerged brush. Boaters are reliably reporting limits on stripers by late morning if they’re chasing active schools. Smallmouth bass numbers are steadier than largemouth, but a handful of chunky green fish have come from the brushy coves as well. Catfishing’s slowed with the cold, but a few nice channels are popping up at night on chunks of bait around sandy flats. Heard rumors of a couple bonus walleye taken out past Antelope Point in the evening hour, locals pitching crankbaits as the light fades. Hot spots to put on your list this week: - **Wahweap Bay:** North edge by Lone Rock is solid for mixed bags, first thing in the morning is prime. - **Navajo Canyon:** Deep bends good for stripers midday, plus sheer cliff points for those bass on drop-shot rigs.

Sunrise today came in at 6:43 AM, sunset’s wrapping it up at 5:36 PM. Plenty of sunlight to thread through the sculpted red rock coves if you get an early jump. Weather is just about ideal for November: expect highs near 66°F under sunny skies, dropping to the low 50s overnight. No rain in sight, but dress in layers; that early chill will keep you sharp at the helm. Winds are light out of the southwest—just enough to ripple the water, but not enough to spoil a cast. No tides to report being an inland reservoir, but water level is still on the lower end—Lake Powell sits around 413 feet at the dam, and the water’s been slipping modestly each week, a sign of persistent drought conditions according to the Lake Powell Water Database. Surface water temps at Wahweap docks are in the mid-to-upper 50s, cooling fast overnight, which is key to finding aggressive fish. Fish activity has ticked down with the water temps but action remains steady—especially if you focus your efforts around first light and the last couple hours before sunset. Stripers have been the stars this past week. Most catches are coming on the main channel points and back in the larger bays like Warm Creek and Navajo. Anglers trolling deep-diving crankbaits or running umbrella rigs are boxing 15- to 25-fish mornings, with fish running 1 to 3 pounds and the occasional 5-pounder mixed in, all according to updates from local guides and reports filtered through wayneswords dot com. Cut bait—anchovy is still king on Powell—has been the go-to for those working vertical presentations. Drop your bait down to 40–60 feet around the deeper ledges and you’ll find schools hugging structure. Chum a little and the stripers will stack up. For lure-casters, 3- to 5-inch soft plastics in shad or chartreuse patterns, worked slow on a jig head, are reliable for both stripers and smallmouth, especially on rocky transitions and cliff drop-offs. Speaking of smallmouth and the occasional largemouth, they’re tucking into the rocks and deeper shelves. Going finesse is the ticket—for bass, try drop-shotting a green pumpkin or shad-colored worm, or work a tube jig slow along the bottom. Best bite has been around the mouths of canyon arms and inside coves with submerged brush. As for numbers, boaters are reporting limits of stripers before noon if you’re on active schools, with smallmouth and a handful of chunky largemouth in the mix. Catfish activity is spotty now with the cooling water, but a few have been grabbed after sunset on cut bait near sandy flats. Best hot spots this week: - **Wahweap Bay:** Check the northern edge near Lone Rock for mixed bags of stripers and bass early. - **Navajo Canyon:** The deep bends hold stripers midday, and the cliffs are productive for drop-shotting This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you're itching to hit the water, today’s a beauty: **sunrise kicked off at 6:43 a.m.** and we’ll set down around **5:36 p.m.** That gives us just shy of 11 daylight hours to chase the bite, with conditions perfect—clear blue skies, a calm lake, and morning temps in the low 60s, according to CustomWeather and timeanddate.com. The afternoon should warm up nicely into the mid to high 60s. No tides to worry about this far inland, so focus on that sun angle instead—early and late bites are best. Water levels remain historically low, as pointed out by both AOL.com and Colorado River Basin updates, so keep an eye on your depth finder and watch for those newly exposed rock piles and submerged timber. Lower water has concentrated bait schools and, in turn, the predatory fish. **Fish activity’s been steady.** Stripers are grouping up in the main channel and off major points near the dam and Wahweap Marina. Local guides report catching **dozens per trip**, though most are smaller schoolies, the usual 1-2 pounders, but a few five-pound bruisers have been mixed in. Smallmouth bass are feeding actively along rocky points, with reports coming in from the shoreline around Lone Rock and the first set of canyons near Padre Bay. Anglers have been nabbing good numbers—up to 20 smallmouths a morning if you’re on the spot. Threadfin shad schools are thick in the backs of coves, bringing in the walleye and a few chunky largemouths, especially in the clearer pockets near Warm Creek and Gunsight Bay. Catfish action has also picked up in the evenings along muddy banks, so night anglers have reason to stay out late. **Best lures today:** For stripers, toss a white or chartreuse jigging spoon in the 1- to 2-ounce class; yo-yo them vertically over suspended schools. If they’re boiling on the surface (especially midday), swap to a shad-patterned soft plastic swimbait or small topwater plug. For bass, downsize to a 3- or 4-inch green pumpkin tube or a drop-shot rig with a small shad imitation—work it slow around rocks and submerged brush. Walleye are sucking up crawler harnesses drifted just off bottom. The catfish crowd is finding success with good old nightcrawlers and cut shad right off the marina docks. **A couple of hot spots for you:** - **Wahweap Marina**—where stripers are stacking up in the main channel ledges. - **Padre Bay points**—for a mixed bag of smallmouth and an occasional walleye. - **Back of Warm Creek**—look here for shad schools and aggressive largemouth in the clear shallows. Remember, the lake’s low, so take it slow and watch for rocks—access at some ramps can be tricky. With water temps still holding in the low 60s, fish are hungry ahead of the real winter chill, so you’ll find the best action early and late, with midday getting a little tougher as the sun gets bright.

We woke up to a crisp, sunny fall morning with temps climbing to a comfortable mid-60s. Sunrise hit at 6:43 am and you can expect sunset right around 5:36 pm, giving us nearly eleven hours of daylight to chase those big ones. Winds are mild and skies are clear—ideal for late-season angling. As for tides, Lake Powell is a reservoir and doesn’t see any tidal action, but continued drought has dropped water levels to historic lows. That means more exposed structure and new fishing opportunities in spots you couldn’t reach last year. Lake conditions are stable, though launching can be tricky in shallower areas due to those low water levels. The fish don’t seem to mind. Striper boils are fading but there’s still activity at first and last light, especially in deeper main channel pockets and near the dam. Reports this week from local guides and tackle shops say anglers are still hooking respectable numbers of **striped bass**, **largemouth**, and **smallmouth bass**. The stripers are running smaller—mostly 2-5 lbs—but folks have managed a few in the ten-pound range if they’re willing to stay mobile and chase the birds. Bass action is picking up as water temps cool. Smallies are holding on rocky points and submerged ledges while largemouths are tucked into brush piles along the receding shoreline. Best lures this week have been **deep-diving crankbaits** in crawdad patterns, **shad-colored swim baits**, and classic **drop-shot rigs** using four-inch worms in watermelon or green pumpkin. For stripers, anglers are slinging **topwater Zara Spooks** or **walking baits** right at dawn, then switching to **spoons** or **bucktail jigs** once the sun clears the canyon walls. Don’t overlook the crappie bite—anglers have picked off schools holding tight to submerged timber in Wahweap and around Navajo Canyon. Minnows on small jigs have been the ticket. If you want catfish, chicken livers or cut bait fished off steep banks near the back of coves has produced some sturdy channel cats after dark. The top hot spots right now? Look for smallmouths and active stripers around **Antelope Point** and near the mouth of **Warm Creek Bay**—those areas have a mix of deep drop-offs and sun-warmed flats. **The Stateline Auxiliary Ramp** area remains good for late stripers, especially if you drift cut anchovies. For largemouth, target brushy coves at the back end of Bullfrog Bay—these spots get less pressure. Local chatter says the bite drops off fast after noon, so hit the water early. With the reservoir’s low levels, be careful running shallow channels and keep an eye for newly exposed rock piles. That wraps up today’s Lake Powell report. If you’re headed out, pack your layers, bring the crawdad lures, and don’t forget your camera—the scenery alone is worth the trip. Thanks for tuning in. Subscribe for more updates and tips.

Let’s kick off with today’s conditions and what you can expect out on this extraordinary stretch of the Colorado River. First, **weather** is classic southwestern fall: sunrise hit at 7:03 AM and sunset will be at 5:21 PM. Expect cool, clear mornings heading to highs in the upper 60s, maybe low 70s by this afternoon, with occasional light breezes—nothing fierce enough to churn up water or chase you off the main channel. Recent October storms brought some much-needed water, giving a slight bump to overall lake levels, according to climatologists at Colorado State University. Still, at the scale of Powell it’s a drop in the bucket, but every bit helps recharge the coves and secondary channels. With Lake Powell being a reservoir, there’s **no true tidal swing**, but the moon phase always has a say. We’re a few days past the last quarter moon, and fish activity has been picking up in the low-light windows around daybreak and dusk. Recent catches from guides and locals point to feeding flurries close to sunrise and again just before sunset, so prioritize those hours for your serious efforts. **Fish activity** has turned up a notch—fall is when hungry bass, stripers, and walleye chase baitfish into rocky points, flooded timber, and narrow coves. According to reports out of Wahweap and Bullfrog marinas, **striped bass** are especially active right now, with some anglers boating 30, even 40 or more in a solid morning’s work. Most of these are hitting mid-size anchovies on cut-bait rigs, but the topwater bite is getting good early, especially on shad-style walking baits like a Sammy 115 or Zara Spook tossed along sheer rock walls. Trolling deep diving plugs is paying off mid-lake as bait schools move around 40–60 feet. **Largemouth and smallmouth bass** are both on the chew as autumn cools the water. Anglers are having the best luck with soft plastic tubes in green pumpkin or watermelon, finesse jigs, and Ned rigs bounced along rocky drop-offs. Crankbaits in crawfish patterns are picking off bronzebacks around submerged boulders, and spinnerbaits in white/chartreuse do well near brushy pockets, especially with a little chop on the water. For those chasing **walleye**, the classic tactic remains slow trolling bottom bouncers with nightcrawler rigs along gravel points and tapering flats. Some recent kayak anglers reported solid limits before lunchtime using jigging spoons in 25–35 feet near Antelope Point. As for the **panfish** crowd, crappie have been steady though not thick, keying on submerged brush—try a 2-inch curly tail grub in chartreuse or pink. Catfish are still biting after dark along muddy flats on cut bait and chicken livers. A few **hot spots** worth hitting this weekend: - **Navajo Canyon**: The mouth is loaded with shad and the striper bite is on fire at both sunrise and sunset—try anchoring and chumming wit This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Fri, 07 Nov 2025 08:40:01 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your early November 7th, 2025, Lake Powell fishing report straight from the heart of red rock country. Let’s kick off with today’s conditions and what you can expect out on this extraordinary stretch of the Colorado River. First, **weather** is classic southwestern fall: sunrise hit at 7:03 AM and sunset will be at 5:21 PM. Expect cool, clear mornings heading to highs in the upper 60s, maybe low 70s by this afternoon, with occasional light breezes—nothing fierce enough to churn up water or chase you off the main channel. Recent October storms brought some much-needed water, giving a slight bump to overall lake levels, according to climatologists at Colorado State University. Still, at the scale of Powell it’s a drop in the bucket, but every bit helps recharge the coves and secondary channels. With Lake Powell being a reservoir, there’s **no true tidal swing**, but the moon phase always has a say. We’re a few days past the last quarter moon, and fish activity has been picking up in the low-light windows around daybreak and dusk. Recent catches from guides and locals point to feeding flurries close to sunrise and again just before sunset, so prioritize those hours for your serious efforts. **Fish activity** has turned up a notch—fall is when hungry bass, stripers, and walleye chase baitfish into rocky points, flooded timber, and narrow coves. According to reports out of Wahweap and Bullfrog marinas, **striped bass** are especially active right now, with some anglers boating 30, even 40 or more in a solid morning’s work. Most of these are hitting mid-size anchovies on cut-bait rigs, but the topwater bite is getting good early, especially on shad-style walking baits like a Sammy 115 or Zara Spook tossed along sheer rock walls. Trolling deep diving plugs is paying off mid-lake as bait schools move around 40–60 feet. **Largemouth and smallmouth bass** are both on the chew as autumn cools the water.

The forecast today puts us in the mid-50s by midday with mostly clear skies, a light breeze, and no rain in sight—ideal conditions for a full day of casting. With Lake Powell being a reservoir, you won’t need to mind tides, but water levels show slow seasonal drop—making for stable structure fishing along old creek channels and rocky points according to Coyote Gulch. Major fish activity is locked around the transitions: these November nights are the tail end of the post-full moon, and predator fish like striped bass and largemouth are still using those early and late hour feeding windows. Dawn and dusk bring the best bites, especially as cooling water fires up the shad and pinfish in the shallows. The Colorado River feeding the lake saw some light rainfall this week, bumping clarity to the moderate range—expect visibility of around six feet in open water and a bit murkier in the back of coves. Now, what’s putting fish in the boat? Reports from Wahweap and Bullfrog marinas say striped bass are coming in heavy, plenty of 3-5 pounders, with the occasional school busting the surface. Largemouth bass catches have ticked up, especially along flooded brush and rocky ledges, averaging 2-3 pounds. Channel catfish are still solid for night anglers—cut bait and chicken livers have yielded multiple fish in the 5-8 pound range. Crappie and bluegill are a steady option around submerged structure, mostly running keeper size. Best lures this week are shad-pattern crankbaits and jerkbaits for stripers—white or chrome, and if the wind kicks up, run a deep-diver along the edges. Largemouths are taking soft plastics, green pumpkin Yamasenkos or chartreuse flukes Texas-rigged right in the brush. Early morning action is red hot for topwater—popper and walker baits near rocky bluffs have landed some solid bass. Spinnerbaits with a hint of orange or white do best in the stained coves. For crappie, 1/16-ounce jigs in electric chicken or black/chartreuse have kept rods bent, especially around dock pilings. Live shad is the best live bait by a mile if you can net ‘em, but anchovies and cut baits are still the go-to for stripers in deeper water. Nightcrawlers and small minnows bring plenty of bluegill and crappie near structure. For channel cats, stick to the classic chicken liver or fresh cut shad—no need to get fancy. Hot spots to try today: - **Warm Creek Bay:** Big striper schools chasing shad at sunrise. Troll along creek channels and switch to slabs when you see birds working. - **Halls Crossing area:** Smallmouth and largemouth are active on the main points, mid-morning. Cast jigs and crankbaits parallel to ledges. - **Wahweap Marina docks:** Crappie bite stays reliable here, especially for kids and quick panfish action.

We’re off to a classic late-fall start: crisp, clear, and about perfect for hitting the water. Sunrise this morning was right around 6:51 AM, with sunset coming fast at 5:23 PM, so plan your outings to maximize those golden hours. There’s no tidal action on Lake Powell—being a reservoir—but keep an eye on changing daylight and water levels, which remain stable though still somewhat low after this year’s dry stretch. Weather today is a treat for anglers: expect calm, glassy water with air temps starting in the low 40s at dawn and warming nicely to the mid-to-upper 60s by late afternoon. Maybe a little warmer down by Wahweap, with a shot at the low 70s under abundant sunshine. Winds are staying mild, under 8 mph, and the next cold front isn’t sliding in until early Thursday morning, so conditions should stay prime and clear for your entire trip according to the latest KSL News update and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources forecast. Lake Powell’s water is holding in the low 60s. Clarity is decent in most canyons, though after recent light rain, watch for a little stain and some mudlines at inflows like the top end of the San Juan arm and north of Bullfrog. Fish activity is holding steady as we go deeper into the fall transition. Smallmouth bass are still the main show, fattening up pre-winter and moving between 15 and 35 feet. Work those rocky ledges and points around Rock Creek and the mouth of Last Chance Canyon. Tube jigs, Ned rigs in green pumpkin, and drop-shot soft plastics are go-to presentations—cast right to the break and let it fall to where those bronzebacks are hunting. Striped bass action is good—pods are moving mid-lake and suspending in deeper channels. Early and late, you’ll find boils near Padre Bay and down toward Wahweap. Tactics are all about matching the hatch; locals are throwing topwater walkers like Zara Spooks at dawn, then pivoting to ¾-ounce Kastmasters, silver spoons, and Cotton Cordell Pencil Poppers as fish push deeper. When live shad’s available, use it! Otherwise, dead anchovies remain a Lake Powell classic for bait anglers. Drop chunks off points and cliff edges or troll them in deeper arms. According to the Lake Powell Utah Daily Fishing Report, several boats reported catching full limits of stripers in the 2-3 pound range recently. Largemouth are a bit more scattered but still around submerged timber and brush in back coves—try Texas-rigged plastics or medium cranks in crawfish patterns. Evening catfish are going for cut bait and shrimp, especially off the Wahweap and Bullfrog marina docks. Crappie are holding to submerged brush; small, minnow-tipped jigs are the ticket. Folks are still finding bluegill and sunfish shallow on worms, but that bite’s slowing as water temps slide. Walleye show up after dusk on main lake points—troll a shad rap or vertically jig a white or chartreuse curly tail grub around 20 feet dow This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're looking at excellent conditions on the water right now. The weather's shaping up to be sunny with highs in the upper 60s and southeast winds running 10 to 20 miles per hour—perfect for getting out there. Water levels across Utah are sitting at 82% of normal according to current streamflow data, which means we've got decent water moving through the system. Now, here's what you need to know about the bite. The San Juan River near Bluff is running strong at 815 CFS, and that's got the smallmouth fired up. If you're heading down to the Colorado River arm toward Potash, we're seeing 4,300 CFS—that's a healthy increase from yesterday. That current means the stripers and walleye are going to be aggressive and feeding along the structure. For lures, you'll want to bring single swimbaits with heavier jigheads than you'd normally use. Work your soft plastics in green pumpkin and black and blue patterns along the main channel breaks. The stripers have been hitting well on dock jigs, especially in the early morning and late afternoon hours. I'd recommend hitting the Colorado River arm between Hite and Wahweap for stripers—the current there is pushing baitfish, and the fish are following. For smallmouth, the San Juan River inlets are absolutely solid right now with the water temperature where it is. Get out there and make some memories on the water.

Let’s kick it off with conditions: Weather’s starting off brisk but clear, hovering in the low 40s at dawn and warming to the mid-60s by late afternoon. Winds are forecast to be light, staying under 8 mph most of the day—a treat for anglers who hate being blown off open water. There’s no tidal report for Lake Powell since it’s a reservoir, not a coastal system. Sunrise hit about 6:51 AM, and sunset will tuck away at 5:23 PM—plenty of daylight for a productive outing. Lake Powell’s notorious fluctuating water levels are still showing; the latest markers have the lake down but stable compared to earlier in the fall. Good news: clarity is decent in most canyons, but expect some mudlines near inflows, especially after recent local rain showers. It’s November, so fall transition patterns rule. Fish activity is decent, though a tad less frenetic than peak summer. Smallmouth bass are feeding up for winter, cruising rocky points and ledges between 15 and 35 feet. Stripers are moving more mid-lake and suspending over deeper channels—look for pods chasing shad, especially early and late. According to Utah Division of Wildlife and local marina chatter, the past week saw solid action for stripers in the Narrows and around Face Canyon, with anglers hauling in 10- to 20-fish mornings, mostly in the 2–4 lb class. Smallmouth reports are steady, mostly 1–2 lbs, but quite a few limits posted from Bullfrog and Wahweap areas. Crappie and walleye catches have been sparse, mostly incidental, but a few nice panfish were picked up off brush piles around Warm Creek Bay. Catfish bite is slow—most folks are focusing on game fish. Best baits right now: for stripers, anchovies on a weighted line are still the gold standard. 1 oz spoons—the Hopkins Shorty is a classic—work for active schools. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns pays off if you’re covering water. For smallmouths, 1/4 oz tube jigs in green pumpkin and smoke, Ned rigs, and drop-shot setups with a 3-inch shad or goby-style soft plastic are getting the nod. Berkley PowerBait MaxScent and Z-Man finesse TRDs have accounted for most of the recent top catches, while live nightcrawlers drifted near the bottom are a reliable backup on tough days. If you’re targeting stripers, throw anchovies at the mouth of main canyons—Face Canyon and the San Juan arm have been hot. For bass, work rocky ledges off Lone Rock and hit the points at Bullfrog Bay. If you want a quieter experience and a chance at both smallmouth and walleye, try the back end of Warm Creek in 20–30 feet. One heads-up: Lake Powell’s ecosystem is dealing with pressure from quagga and zebra mussels. The state continues decontamination efforts for boats and gear, but if you’re launching, give your hull and equipment a thorough scrub.

We started out under some pristine desert skies today, with sunrise at 6:43 AM and a mild overnight low around 70°F. As the sun crested Navajo Mountain, anglers took to the water greeted by clear, comfortable weather—expect highs touching 89°F by midafternoon and just a light breeze out of the ESE at 8 mph. Water temps are holding steady in the low 60s, ideal for that late fall bite according to local guides. Lake Powell, as always, isn’t influenced by tides, so you won’t need to watch the clock on that front, but do pay attention to the dropping days—sunset comes quick at 5:36 PM, so plan your run back to the dock accordingly. The fish have been active at first light and just before dusk, feeding shallow as shad schools bunch up in the backs of coves and along main lake points. Reports over the last 24 hours show stripers breaking the surface from Bullfrog down toward Padre Bay. Several boats landed limits of schoolies in the 2 to 3-pound range throwing topwater walkers and small spoons—Zara Spooks, Cotton Cordell Pencil Poppers, and ¾-ounce Kastmasters have all been hot. Bass are putting on some pre-winter feedbags: smallmouth in particular have been plentiful along rocky ledges and submerged humps from Wahweap up to the San Juan arm. Anglers tossing soft plastics—green pumpkin tubes, Ned rigs, and drop shot rigs with morning dawn Roboworms—have reported plenty of 1 to 2-pounders, with the occasional chunk over 3 pounds. If you like to power fish, a ¼-ounce white/chartreuse spinnerbait slow-rolled off the points has been effective as well. Largemouth have been scarcer but still catchable, especially tucked back in brushy pockets. Jigs with craw trailers and weightless Senkos around submerged timber have been taking fish. If you’re after numbers, stick to the main lake and primary points; for a shot at bigger largemouth, venture into the narrower coves where the water’s stained and warmer. Crappie reports have ticked up a notch too, with several slabs caught under floating docks and marina structures—use 1/32-ounce jig heads with baby shad plastics or small minnows under slip floats. Nighttime fishing with lights has turned up a few bonus catfish as well. For bait, you can’t go wrong with cut anchovy when targeting stripers—chunk it on a circle hook and let it sit near the bottom along the channel drop-offs. Top spots today: - The mouth of Warm Creek Bay has been a striper magnet at dawn. - The rocky points near Bullfrog Marina are loaded with smallmouth, especially in 12-20 feet of water. - Navajo Canyon is holding mixed bags—stripers, bass, and the occasional walleye. Lake levels remain stable for November, so launching is smooth at all the major marinas according to the Bureau of Reclamation as of yesterday morning. Only a few storms rumored in the extended forecast, so it’s a fine week to get your lines wet before winter sets in.

Thanks This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 209 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7567560909 This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Powell fishing report for Saturday, November 1, 2025. Out here at first light, anglers were greeted by a crisp autumn morning: air temps starting around 10°C, climbing to a balmy 20°C by late afternoon. The sky is mostly clear, shifting to partly cloudy later on—top-notch weather for your day on the water according to Bullfrog Marina’s forecast. Winds are calm and variable, making for smooth rides between canyons. Expect sunrise at 7:53 AM, with sunset rolling in at 6:29 PM, giving you a good long window to get your lines in the water. Don’t worry about tides—Lake Powell is a reservoir, so tidal swings aren’t in play. Lately, the water’s been cooling overnight but daytime warmth is keeping bass and striper action very much alive. Locals this past week have been boating healthy numbers of striped bass, especially during the morning shad boils near Padre Bay and Rock Creek. Stripers are still schooling up, driving baitfish to the surface—throwing topwater lures like Zara Spooks or Whopper Ploppers early gets explosive strikes before the sun is high. Smallmouth bass have transitioned a bit deeper, hanging around rocky drop-offs and ledges, with most hookups reported between 15 and 30 feet of water. Ned rigs in green pumpkin, tube jigs, and drop shot rigs with shad-colored plastics are go-tos. For largemouth, look for submerged timber and brush in the backs of pockets—soft plastics Texas-rigged, or mid-size crankbaits in craw patterns, are drawing strikes. Recent reports from lake regulars say catfish are hitting strong on cut bait and shrimp down in Wahweap Bay and near Bullfrog’s marina slips, mostly at night and around sunset. Bluegill and sunfish are still nibbling worms in the shallows but slowing down as the water chills. If you’re targeting walleye, the bite’s decent after dusk along main-lake points; trolling shad raps or jigging curly tail grubs in white or chartreuse around 20 feet is the pattern. For bait, live shad isn’t always available but anchovies and cut baits are riding high for stripers. If you’ve got the patience, jigging spoons or slabs around bait clouds marked on your electronics produces, especially in the deeper arms. Hot spots this weekend: - **Padre Bay:** Surface boils for stripers at dawn, switch to spooning near drop-offs as the day warms. - **The mouth of Rock Creek:** Smallmouth and stripers both hitting between 10 and 25 feet; good rocky structure and active bait pods. - Bonus tip: Don’t overlook the mouth of Last Chance Canyon—walleye reported in decent numbers jigging after dusk. With reservoir levels stable and water clarity good, now’s the time to try a few patterns—topwater early, finesse for bass as the sun climbs, maybe soak some bait for stripers midafternoon. Always keep an eye on the weather; while it’s a bluebird day today, fall can bring changing winds quickly. That’s your current Lake Powell lowdown.

We’ve got classic autumn bluebird conditions lighting up Glen Canyon country: sunrise hit at 7:42, so the early bite’s already starting, with sunset coming at 6:13 tonight. You’ll get a full day of comfortable weather—partly sunny skies, highs around 71 degrees, light southwest winds, and visibility looking crystal clear according to AccuWeather and WeatherWorld. Trick-or-treaters won’t need jackets tonight, and neither will you—perfect weather for an afterwork cast. Though Lake Powell is a reservoir and doesn’t see ocean tides, water levels have been shifting after a dry late summer, with a slow drop near Bullfrog and Wahweap. The lake’s warming a bit in these late season days, keeping the bite consistent through afternoons, especially for the bass and stripers. Recent reports from folks out on the water and at the marinas say the fishing's steady, with striped bass still schooling around Glen Canyon Dam and up by Lone Rock. Some boats have been hauling in thirty to fifty stripers per trip, with plenty of smaller fish and even some keepers in the mix. The night bite’s got a few folks excited—chunk bait soaking after dark produced the biggest striper of the week at 13 pounds on a cut anchovy off Antelope Canyon. Casting for largemouth and smallmouth bass has picked up around rocky points and submerged structure between Padre Bay and Rock Creek. Local sharpies are sticking fish in the 1-3 pound range using shad-colored crankbaits, green pumpkin tubes, and finesse jigs. If you’re working dropoffs or flooded brush, try a shaky head rig with a natural worm, especially during mid-morning when the sun gets up. Don’t forget the catfish—fall means channel cats prowling the flats and beach drop-offs. Fresh chicken liver or cut bait seems to be the go-to, with several nice channels landed down by Halls Crossing overnight. For lures, you want to stick to the fall standards. Striper fans, keep tossing white or chrome spoons, X-Rap jerkbaits, or big swim shads. Live anchovy or cut bait is unbeatable for numbers. Smallmouth are fond of green pumpkin anything, with Ned rigs and tube baits fooling the most. Largemouth will chase a spinners or chatterbaits if you’re cranking them around laydowns or brush near Warm Creek. Lake Powell’s reservoirs hold their own secrets. According to local guides, the top hot spots right now are: - **Lone Rock Beach:** Striped bass schools move through like clockwork from sunrise to mid-morning. Waders and boaters both have a real shot at big numbers. - **Padre Bay coves:** Smallmouth and largemouth stacking up around brush and chunk rock. If you want bass, this is the place.

Today's sunrise painted the canyons right at 6:43 AM, and sunset will fall at 5:28 PM—ample daylight for getting lines wet. Tides aren’t a factor up here in the desert but the weather feels more like late fall than summer: sunny skies, crisp morning air around 2°C (that’s 35°F for y’all), and by afternoon we’ll see it warm to a comfortable 18°C, or 64°F. Winds are barely a whisper out there, so expect mostly glassy water—great for topwater action early and late according to PredictWind and weatherforyou.com. The water level’s still down, revealing some unexpected structure. Plenty of rumors about folks pulling smallmouth off the rock piles and striper schools busting shad in deeper sloughs. Striper activity has picked up—the cooler water temps and clear conditions have them feeding hard in the main channel and back in big coves. Crappie catches are solid in the brush pockets. Best bite has been first light and the last two hours before dark, classic fall pattern. Out on the lake yesterday afternoon, several anglers reported bringing in nice numbers: stripers in the 12-18 inch range, with some boats bagging 20-30 apiece in a morning’s effort near the dam and Buoy 25. Smallmouth are active on rocky points and islands, with a few going over 3 pounds. Crappie are holding tight to submerged brush in the backs of Halls and Warm Creek bays, fattening up as winter nears. Recent feedback on bigfishtackle.com’s forums confirms these trends, with plenty sharing pics of heavy stringers and good mixed-bag outings. Lure-wise, locals stick to their strengths this time of year. For stripers, you can’t beat a white or silver lipless crankbait—like a classic Rat-L-Trap—or 3-inch soft swimbaits fished mid-water over 40-70 feet. Anchovy chunks still work for bait fishermen, especially deep off points and drop-offs. Smallmouth are hammering green pumpkin and watermelon tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop-shot plastics. If you like moving bait, a small shad-style crank or a ⅜-oz jig in chartreuse or white can coax a bite. For crappie, grab a small chartreuse marabou or curly tail jig, tip it with a minnow, and work it slow. Hot spots today? Try the area around the mouth of Navajo Canyon—stripers have been boiling at dawn and dusk in 30-50 feet. Halls Creek Bay’s southern fingers are holding solid smallmouth and crappie numbers. For bank anglers, the rocky points near Antelope Point Marina at sunrise have given up some chunky bass. No tides to worry about, so focus on timing, structure, and matching the hatch—the shad schools are thick and so are hungry fish. Bundle up for chilly mornings, but layer down quick: it'll be t-shirt weather by lunchtime. Calm winds, sunny skies, and cool water—ideal conditions for fall success.

Sunrise hit the redrock cliffs at 6:43 AM and we’ll see sunset slip away at 5:36 PM. Folks, it’s a bluebird day—expect highs around 66°F with sunshine and light southeast winds, making for glassy water and calm boating conditions, just about perfect for fishing around Wahweap or Bullfrog bays. The water’s still plenty cool in the mornings, but afternoon surface temps rise into the upper 50s, so keep that in mind when planning your approach. No tides here in the high desert, but the moon’s in its first quarter today, with about 18% still showing—typically good news for active fish especially near dusk and dawn, when the light starts to fade and the stripers push baitfish into shallow coves. The action lately has stayed hot for autumn. Yesterday, reports from locals and the Lake Powell, Utah Daily Fishing Report podcast confirm anglers landed solid counts of striped bass and smallmouth. Stripers schooled up in deeper main channel cuts near Antelope Point, with boats often bagging 30 or more per outing—the trick has been finding those big boils early, especially by trolling or graphing for marks around 30–60 feet down. The smallmouth bass bite’s still sizzling in rocky shallows and drop-offs; several nice stringers up to two pounds each were caught between Labyrinth Canyon and Padre Bay. The word on lures: for stripers, it’s tough to beat heavy jigging spoons (1- to 2-oz silver and white models resemble shad), as well as chartreuse or white swim baits, especially when fished vertically beneath schools spotted on sonar. Topwater action tapered off a bit this week, but trollers dragging deep-diving crankbaits—especially shad-patterns—found fish too. For smallmouth, anglers swear by 3"–4" soft plastic grubs and tubes rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jig heads in green pumpkin or smoke sparkle. If you want to go old-school, cut anchovy bait dropped straight down will draw frantic strikes from hungry stripers, and a few walleye have been nosed up in the low light by folks using crawler harnesses slow-trolled along points. Don’t sleep on the crappie bite either—with lower water and lots of exposed brush, you’ll do well dipping small marabou jigs near submerged willows or flooded structure in Warm Creek or Last Chance Bay. If you’re heading out now, top hot spots include: - **Antelope Canyon**: Active morning boils and solid striper action, especially right after sunrise and again an hour before sunset. - **Padre Bay points**: Best for smallmouth, rocky transitions, and even a shot at some big largemouth lurking deeper. - **Wahweap Marina breakwater**: Schooling stripers and bonus walleye for anglers fishing late into the evening. As drought continues to keep Powell’s water lower than many remember, the concentration’s made for some of the best fishing in years—just watch for debris and new obstructions.

Today’s sunrise crept over the red cliffs at 7:38 AM, and you can set your lines until sunset at 6:23 PM. Weather on tap is as good as it gets for fall fishing: clear, crisp, and sunny, with daytime highs around 73°F and a mild south-southwest breeze keeping things fresh. Overnight lows dip into the 40s, so bring a hoodie for those early or late sessions. There’s no recent rainfall and water clarity is excellent, ideal for sight fishing and working those points and coves. Lake Powell doesn’t have ocean tides, but daily water levels can fluctuate slightly with outflow from the dam and recent inflows; nothing dramatic for backwater anglers today. No flood watches or muddy waters to worry about—just a classic Powell bluebird day. Now, let’s get to the action. According to yesterday’s on-the-water reports and this morning’s chatter at the docks, it’s prime time for **striped bass** and **smallmouth**. Stripers are schooled up and active, especially in the main channel and mouths of bigger side canyons. Anglers have been pulling up hefty stringers—dozens a day not unheard of—with fish averaging 2 to 4 pounds, some much bigger in the deeper haunts. The **smallmouth bass** bite just keeps shining. Folks are reporting solid numbers, especially tight to the rocky ledges and shallow drop-offs. Best bet is working soft plastics in natural crayfish or shad colors, Ned rigs, and tube baits slowly along the bottom. For more aggressive fish, casting jerkbaits or compact swimbaits off points by first light is landing quick limits. A few nice **largemouth** have shown up too, especially around submerged brush up the San Juan arm. Walleye catches are steady, especially by trolling crawler harnesses or bottom bouncers along sandy shelves at 20-30 feet. Early morning and late evening are golden, especially near the mouths of canyons like Last Chance and Rock Creek. For stripers, live anchovies remain king, but trollers are also cleaning up with deep-diving shad-imitator crankbaits, spoons, and silver slabs, especially below schooling fish visible on sonar. If bait’s your game, nightcrawlers and cut bait are pulling in mixed bags, sometimes with a surprise channel cat or two in the mix. Recent catches include good-sized crappie taken near brushy backwaters—try small jigs or minnows under slip floats. And for an oddball, beaver sign is on the rise, so watch for freshly chewed sticks in back coves—can mean more structure and therefore more fish in coming years, as noted by The Martinez Beavers crew. Hot spots for today: - **Wahweap Bay** near the dam—consistent striper schools, glassy mornings, and quick limits for shore and boat anglers. - **Bullfrog/Halls Crossing channel**—exceptional for smallmouth, especially working parallel to rocky islands and channel edges. - If you’re adventurous, tuck into **Navajo Canyon**; water clarity and structure are turning up chunky bass This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise will hit the water at 7:38 AM and sunset wraps up at 6:23 PM, giving anglers a solid window of daylight to chase those fall bites. Weather today is clear and sunny, highs peaking at about 88°F and lows dipping to 71°F overnight. Winds are gentle from the east-northeast at 5 mph, with humidity sitting around 26%—so keep hydrated out there. Water levels remain steady with Lake Powell’s surface elevation around 3578 feet. No tidal changes here, just the slow seasonal drawdown typical of fall. Fish activity on Powell is up, with late October delivering exciting action. According to the Lake Powell Utah Daily Fishing Report on Spreaker, stripers are on a surge—especially near the dam and deeper creek arms. They're stacking up and chasing shad, so vertical jigging with spoon lures or presenting live anchovy is putting dozens of fish in the boat. Stripers are running in mixed schools with occasional catches upwards of 30 fish per angler in prime spots. Smallmouth bass are blitzing on rocky points and submerged structure. Target them at depths of 10 to 25 feet. Best lures this week are soft plastics like green pumpkin tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shot setups with natural colored worms. Spinnerbaits and topwater poppers can trigger aggression in the early morning and just before sunset. Largemouth bass reports are steady but spotty. Anglers pulling into brushy coves near Wahweap and Rock Creek are flipping jigs and picking up a few quality fish. This time of year, largemouths prefer slower presentations—try a black/blue football jig or a wacky worm rig for results. Crappie are showing up in brush piles and along marina docks—Bullfrog Marina is a popular spot. Tiny crappie jigs in chartreuse or white, tipped with minnows, are doing the trick. Catfish remain active along sandy flats at night, especially near Halls Crossing. Stink bait or chicken liver under slip rigs brings cats up to 10 pounds. Recent catches highlight stripers as the top species, with smallmouth bass numbers good and the occasional walleye mixed in. Anglers are reporting stringers heavy with fish especially on overcast mornings after patchy rain—look out for some surprise bursts of topwater action if the wind lays down. The best baits this week: - Stripers: **Live anchovy**, casting and vertical jigging spoons (silver or white) - Smallmouth bass: **Soft plastics** (tube jigs, Ned rigs), spinnerbaits - Largemouth bass: **Football jig**, wacky worm - Crappie: **Minnow-tipped jigs** - Catfish: **Stink bait**, chicken liver A couple of hot spots to try: - **Wahweap Bay**: Stripers running in deep water early and late, prolific numbers on spoons and bait. - **Bullfrog Marina**: Crappie and catfish anglers hooking up in the late evenings and after dark. - **Rock Creek**: Smallmouth and largemouth pushing up shallower as the water cools; focus on brush piles and rocky shel This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Mon, 27 Oct 2025 07:38:43 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Monday, October 27, 2025. Sunrise will hit the water at 7:38 AM and sunset wraps up at 6:23 PM, giving anglers a solid window of daylight to chase those fall bites. Weather today is clear and sunny, highs peaking at about 88°F and lows dipping to 71°F overnight. Winds are gentle from the east-northeast at 5 mph, with humidity sitting around 26%—so keep hydrated out there. Water levels remain steady with Lake Powell’s surface elevation around 3578 feet. No tidal changes here, just the slow seasonal drawdown typical of fall. Fish activity on Powell is up, with late October delivering exciting action. According to the Lake Powell Utah Daily Fishing Report on Spreaker, stripers are on a surge—especially near the dam and deeper creek arms. They're stacking up and chasing shad, so vertical jigging with spoon lures or presenting live anchovy is putting dozens of fish in the boat. Stripers are running in mixed schools with occasional catches upwards of 30 fish per angler in prime spots. Smallmouth bass are blitzing on rocky points and submerged structure. Target them at depths of 10 to 25 feet. Best lures this week are soft plastics like green pumpkin tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shot setups with natural colored worms. Spinnerbaits and topwater poppers can trigger aggression in the early morning and just before sunset. Largemouth bass reports are steady but spotty. Anglers pulling into brushy coves near Wahweap and Rock Creek are flipping jigs and picking up a few quality fish.

We've got crisp fall air settling over the desert this morning with temperatures starting around 49 degrees and climbing to a comfortable 60 by afternoon. There's a 40 percent chance of precipitation, so keep that rain gear handy. Sunrise hit at 7:41 AM and we'll have light until about 6:38 PM—plenty of time to get your lines wet. Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides like ocean fishing, but water levels have been a story worth watching. The reservoir continues its recovery, sitting at healthy levels for this time of year, and that's got the fish active and feeding. Speaking of fish activity, the stripers are absolutely on fire right now. We're seeing excellent striper action throughout the main channel, particularly around the deeper ledges and points. These fish are actively chasing bait schools, and anglers have been reporting solid catches using paddle-tail swimbaits and traditional spoons. Don't overlook your white and chartreuse patterns—they're producing consistently. Bass fishing remains strong with both largemouth and smallmouth active. The smallmouth are hanging around rocky structure and points, while largemouths are holding near submerged brush and channel edges. For bass, you'll want to throw shaky heads with natural-colored soft plastics, or work a swimbait on a 3/8-ounce jighead. Green pumpkin and watermelon patterns are your go-to colors in these clear water conditions. The walleye bite has been steady, especially during low-light periods at dawn and dusk. Live minnows and small jigs tipped with nightcrawlers are putting fish in the boat. Work the deeper flats and transition areas where the channels meet the coves. For hot spots, focus your efforts around Wahweap Bay and the main channel near Antelope Point. Both areas have been producing consistent action across multiple species. The rocky points and submerged structure in these zones are holding quality fish. Water clarity is excellent right now, so consider downsizing your line and using more natural presentations. Fluorocarbon leaders in the 10 to 15-pound range will help you get more bites in these gin-clear conditions. Thanks for tuning in to today's Lake Powell fishing report.

We’ve got crisp fall air, clear water, and the desert colors are on full display. Let’s break down today’s bite, weather, and a couple of hot spots you’ll want to hit. Today’s weather at Lake Powell starts cool, around 49°F early with a high near 60 by afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy and winds light—out of the southeast, steady at 5–10 mph. That’s a calm morning, perfect for hitting the water before the sun gets up high. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, sunset at 6:33 PM, so you’ve got a solid window for early and late action. There’s no tide to track on Lake Powell, so anchor your timing to low-light hours, especially on these clear fall days. That’s when the baitfish are moving and the bigger predators get active. Water levels are still low and receding, with new shoreline and structure popping up everywhere. According to Glen Canyon Institute, the dropping reservoir has exposed plenty of submerged habitat—translation: fish and bait are concentrated and easy to pattern. You’ll spot beaver tracks and fresh green shoots in the canyons, but what we care most about is those new ledges and brush piles holding fish. The fall bite is in full swing. Reports from local guides and podcast regulars say striper schools are busting shad, especially around the mouths of canyons and deeper main channel points. Topwater action is picking up in the mornings—walk-the-dog baits like Zara Spooks, Whopper Ploppers, and pencil poppers have been reliable. As the sun gets higher, switch to spoons and soft swimbaits in white or silver. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits like Rapalas in shad pattern is catching both striper and walleye. Bait anglers are getting it done with anchovies; cut chunks on a drop-shot or Carolina rig, especially near the dam or around Bullfrog Marina. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are holding tight to new rock piles and submerged brush. A Ned rig in green pumpkin, a drop-shot with 4" finesse worms, or a craw-pattern jig dragged slow are accounting for steady bags of bass, especially mid-morning when the surface cools just a bit. Don’t be afraid to throw spinnerbaits and small jerkbaits around windblown points—shad are dimpling the surface, and bass are following. Catfish are fair, especially on cut bait in the backs of warmer coves during the late afternoon. Crappie are scattered but starting to bunch up near downed timber and in deeper brush—small tube jigs in chartreuse and white are your best bet. For hot spots today, first head to the mouth of Navajo Canyon. That’s a classic striper haunt, with roaming schools in 40–60 feet early, then pushing into the shallows by midday. Second, keep an eye on the submerged islands near Good Hope Bay; both striper and smallmouth are pinning baitfish there, and the new low water has made structure more accessible—look for choppy water and birds diving. Overall, anglers have been reporting decent numbers—a few groups p This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re looking at a cool, clear start; the sunrise hit at 7:38 a.m. and we'll see sunset roll around 6:27 p.m. Local winds are light out of the northeast, trending 7–12 mph, and mid-day highs near 68°F. Skies are mostly sunny with a crisp edge typical for late October; expect water temps in the low 60s up-lake, a few degrees warmer down-lake. No big storm fronts, so fishing should stay consistent throughout the day. There’s no “tide” on Powell, but water levels are sitting near 3,578 feet according to recent updates from the Colorado River water monitors. The fall transition is on. Fish are moving shallow to feed aggressively during the cooling trend. Stripers are still the main draw—a striper bonanza has been in full swing this month and action continues across the mid-lake canyons and up by Bullfrog Marina. Anglers trolling deep-diving crankbaits early, then switching to live anchovy chunks by mid-morning, have reported double-digit catches per boat. Surface boils have fizzled, but with sonar, schools are popping on channel breaks at 45–65 feet. If you prefer lures, lipless cranks in chrome or shad patterns, or bucktail jigs sweetened with anchovy, are tough to beat. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are on the prowl in rocky coves and around submerged brush. Late October is prime for jig and soft plastic presentations—try green pumpkin tubes or 3-inch swimbaits bounced slowly along ledges. Reports from the south end, including the Wahweap and Warm Creek areas, show solid numbers, with several anglers noting 2–3 pounders landed consistently. Spinnerbaits with a white or chartreuse skirt work well on overcast or windy spells. Walleye activity has picked up in the twilight hours. Target transition zones near main-lake points—slow-trolling bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawlers or minnow plugs is putting keeper-sized fish in the cooler. For panfish, bluegill and crappie have been surprisingly active in the shallows of back bays, especially near brush piles. A small jig tipped with a worm or crappie nibble does the trick. Hot spots today include: - The mouth of Rock Creek, especially for striper schools feeding at mid-depths. - The submerged brush flats just east of Bullfrog, ideal for bass and the occasional crappie. - The gravel bars south of Halls Crossing, which have kicked out walleye and the odd chunky channel cat after dark. Bait tips: Anchovies remain king for stripers, whether you’re chunking or tipping a jig. For bass, stick with natural soft plastics and experiment with drop-shot rigs along steep rock faces. Crawlers and minnows are your ticket for late fall walleye. Don’t sleep on a small inline spinner if bluegills are your target. A few reminders on local conditions: Boat decontamination is strictly enforced entering or leaving Powell.

First light hit the water at 7:37 a.m. with sunset set for 6:31 p.m., giving you just under eleven perfect hours on the lake. The weather’s shaping up to be classic crisp fall: partly sunny, a high peaking near 69°F, with a light WNW breeze of about 3 mph by afternoon according to Accuweather. A slim chance of light showers may blanket parts of the basin, but folks on the docks this morning say conditions look calm and almost glassy—ideal for chasing that morning bite[11][14]. No tides to worry about, seeing as Lake Powell’s a freshwater reservoir, but do note the water levels are holding steady thanks to better-than-expected flows into the lake this water year, per Coyote Gulch. Recent rains and healthy inflow have the lake fishing closer to its historical average for late October—a welcome change from last year’s lows[1]. Water temps are hovering in the upper 60s, and fish activity has been solid the past week, especially in the early morning and late evening. Shore and boat anglers alike are reporting good numbers of **striped bass**, with several parties boating 40–60 per morning using cut anchovy around the dam, the Power Plant intake, and the backs of canyons. Reports from local YouTubers this week put smallmouth bass right behind in numbers: 2–3 pounders are common on drop-shot rigs off rocky points and ledges[9][10]. **Channel catfish** have been active in the warming coves during twilight, taking cut bait and chicken liver. Anglers drifting near Antelope Point and Warm Creek recorded channel cats from 1–4 pounds overnight. Walleye are slow but improving on deeper humps and sandy flats just outside Gunsight Bay; bottom bouncers rigged with nightcrawlers are producing the occasional keeper around 18 inches. The best lures this week across species: - **Striped bass**: Jigging spoons (3/4 oz. silver or white), swim shads, and cut anchovy remain unbeatable. - **Smallmouth bass**: Drop-shot rigs with 3” shad or chartreuse plastics, Ned rigs, and curly tail grubs in watermelon red. - **Walleye**: Chrome crankbaits trolled deep, bottom bouncers with worm harnesses. - **Catfish**: Cut carp or anchovy, big chunks of nightcrawler, and chicken liver left to soak near brush piles or submerged structure. Insiders recommend visiting the dam buoy line and the **Power Plant intake** for schooling stripers—watch your graph for bait clouds, and when you find them, vertical jig for fast limits. For big smallmouth, the **mouth of Navajo Canyon** is still hot, with fish holding against rocky shelves. If you want to escape the boat traffic, head up to Last Chance Bay or the submerged trees at Padre Bay. For bait, live shad or anchovy remains the top choice for striper chumming or trolling. If the bite slows, switch to slabs or soft swimbaits along bluff walls. A word on safety: Mornings are brisk—pack layers, and beware of patchy fog before sunrise.

We hit a picture-perfect sunrise at **6:36 am**, with today’s sun sliding behind the canyons at **5:44 pm** according to Time and Date. Daylight’s dropping off, but the bite is still on tap. Water temps are cooling off into the low 70s and the level’s been stable—though remember, fall brings fluctuating conditions due to ongoing river flow management with the new operational rules, so always check before launching. Today’s forecast from WeatherWorld calls for sunny skies, highs near **72°F**, lows dipping to **51°F**, light east wind, and humidity at a comfortable 29%. Visibility is clear, no rain in sight, and it’s prime time for getting those fall fish fired up. Lake Powell’s reputation for fall fishing continues to shine: **striped bass** are in feeding mode with the cooling waters, following baitfish into shallows and coves. Shore anglers and trollers alike are reporting solid numbers—seasoned locals and recent reports from Spreaker confirm stripers are biting strong. Go with shad-patterned crankbaits or cast deep-diving jerkbaits into the backs of coves for tight lines. If you prefer bait, nothing beats fresh-cut shad or live anchovies for getting those stripers tugging your drag. **Smallmouth bass** are pushing onto rocky points and drop-offs, slamming soft plastic worms in green pumpkin or watermelon colors. Try dragging tubes or finesse jigs around submerged structure near Wahweap and Navajo Canyon. For largemouths, work your plastics slowly along weed lines and don’t be shy about using a slow-rolled spinnerbait in the low-light hours. **Walleye** action picks up now—especially near the muddy-bottomed flats north of Bullfrog and around the Stanton Creek area. Troll deep-diving crankbaits just off the structure before dawn and at sunset for your best shot. Nightcrawlers tipped on Lindy rigs are a classic Powell move. **Catfish** are still active on the sandy flats and can be taken with nightcrawlers or cut bait soaked overnight. If it’s trout you’re chasing, hit the cold tailwaters below the dam with silver or gold spinners, or go old-school and soak salmon eggs and PowerBait in the current. Latest catch counts have been solid: - Striped bass: Anglers tallying up to 20–30 fish on half-day outings near Wahweap Marina and Antelope Island coves. - Smallmouth bass: Double-digit catches common; most fish are chunky fall fighters hitting tubes off rocky points. - Walleye: Lower numbers, but respectable-sized fish in the evenings. - Catfish and panfish: Occasional mixed bags for those soaking bait after dark. Today’s **hot spots**: - **Wahweap Marina to Navajo Canyon:** Stripers are stacked and chasing bait balls along the east side. - **Bullfrog Bay and Stanton Creek:** Perfect for bass and walleye, especially around rocky shelves and submerged timber. - Don’t overlook **Antelope Point** early morning for sma This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Nightcrawlers tipped on Lindy rigs are a classic Powell move. **Catfish** are still active on the sandy flats and can be taken with nightcrawlers or cut bait soaked overnight. If it’s trout you’re chasing, hit the cold tailwaters below the dam with silver or gold spinners, or go old-school and soak salmon eggs and PowerBait in the current. Latest catch counts have been solid: - Striped bass: Anglers tallying up to 20–30 fish on half-day outings near Wahweap Marina and Antelope Island coves. - Smallmouth bass: Double-digit catches common; most fish are chunky fall fighters hitting tubes off rocky points. - Walleye: Lower numbers, but respectable-sized fish in the evenings. - Catfish and panfish: Occasional mixed bags for those soaking bait after dark. Today’s **hot spots**: - **Wahweap Marina to Navajo Canyon:** Stripers are stacked and chasing bait balls along the east side. - **Bullfrog Bay and Stanton Creek:** Perfect for bass and walleye, especially around rocky shelves and submerged timber. - Don’t overlook **Antelope Point** early morning for sma This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 269 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5012871424 Lake Powell anglers, good morning—Artificial Lure reporting with your Tuesday, October 21st update for the big water winding through Utah’s canyon country. Today’s weather is about as perfect as it gets for late October fishing. We’re starting out calm and crisp: air temps at dawn were hovering in the low 50s, climbing to a high around 73. Skies are clear, with only a whisper of breeze expected through late morning, making for glassy water at sunrise—prime conditions to chase early feeders according to the Lake Powell, Utah Daily Fishing Report podcast. Sunrise came up around 7:32 a.m., with sunset expected just before 6:35 p.m. That means anglers get nearly 11 hours of light, and after sunset, the Orionids meteor shower promises a bonus show for those sticking around after lines-up. If you’re wondering about tides, Lake Powell’s a reservoir—no tidal push, just steady flows controlled by upstream releases. Inflows are stable and holding the surface elevation just above 3,545 feet as reported by Coyote Gulch—good news for boaters with all marinas (Wahweap, Bullfrog, Antelope Point) open and accessible these days. Water temps are holding in the mid-60s, just cool enough to keep the bite going as fish feed up for winter. Recent catches have been downright impressive. Striped bass (stripers) are still leading the charge, with guides reporting some boats landing 30-50 fish per day in prime spots. Most stripers are running in the 2-4 pound range, but a few bigger “boils” have been spotted close to Bullfrog Bay and Warm Creek—so keep your eyes peeled for surface action at daybreak. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are coming on strong, too, with mixed bags reported: smallies in the 1-2 pound slot, largemouths a bit chunkier in sheltered coves near rocky ledges. Walleye catches continue to trickle in around steep drop-offs along the main channel, especially near Navajo Canyon, but patience is key—stick to vertical jigging if you’re after dinner. For those plotting their tackle box this morning, here’s what’s been scoring: - Bright shad-pattern crankbaits are favored—sound and flash help fish find your lure in mixed conditions. - Rattling crankbaits and swimbaits work best for stripers chasing shad schools, especially any with blue or chrome. - Soft plastics, particularly green pumpkin or watermelon tubes, fished along rocky points, have triggered most of the bass. - For bait anglers, anchovies remain king for stripers—threaded on a small circle hook, fished deep. - Nightcrawlers and salted minnows are bagging walleye at dawn, just off submerged structure. Hot spots worth your launch today include: - Wahweap Bay, where striper boils show up early and often. - Bullfrog Marina area—expect steady action, and it’s less crowded than the southern arms. - The rocky edges off Navajo Canyon are top picks for bass and walleye, especially if you can get there at first light.

This is Artificial Lure coming to you with your October 20th Lake Powell fishing report. Temps at dawn were crisp—low 50s—but warmed into the low 70s by early afternoon. Winds are mild at 5-10 mph, skies mostly clear, and humidity’s low. Sure signs fall has truly settled in. There’s no tidal swing here in Lake Powell being a reservoir, but water levels have stabilized lately, making shoreline spots consistent and accessible. Sunrise lit the mirror-flat water at 7:33 AM with sunset forecast for 6:35 PM. Those chilly nights have fish fired up and feeding hard through late morning and again before dusk. The water temp is hovering around 66°F up lake and a little cooler down toward Wahweap and Antelope, so expect classic fall feeding behavior. Let’s talk about what’s biting. Stripers are the big headline, with schools busting shad near shallow points and coves from Padre Bay up toward Rock Creek. Trolling deep-diving plugs, like the classic silver/blue Rapala or shad-patterned Lucky Craft Pointers, has been stellar. If you’re chasing boils, keep a white or chartreuse 3-inch swimbait or a Kastmaster spoon tied on—a lot of anglers around the mouth of Navajo Canyon and the back of Last Chance Bay are finding steady action on these lures, especially early and late in the day. Anglers are bagging healthy limits of stripers up to 5 pounds, plenty in the 2-3 pound range. For the bass crowd, both largemouth and smallmouth are firing along rocky ledges and submerged brush. Early risers tossing topwater like Whopper Ploppers and Zara Spooks over points—especially on the San Juan arm—reported explosive action. As the sun climbs, switch to Ned rigs or Carolina-rigged baby brush hogs in green pumpkin, and work them slow along the bottom between 10-25 feet. Best action’s still mid-lake: check out Dungeon Canyon and Face Canyon for numbers. Don’t overlook catfish—several local shore anglers landed chunky channel cats up to 10 pounds soaking cut bait after dark at Lone Rock Beach and along the Wahweap Marina shoreline. A little stink and patience pays off! Crappie are starting to stack up in brush piles around Bullfrog Marina and Dangling Rope, holding about 15 feet down. Drop a minnow under a slip bobber or jig a chartreuse tube to fill the bucket for a fish fry. Bluegill and sunfish action’s steady, a good bet for families. Hot spots for today: Navajo Canyon is where striper action has been hottest at dawn and dusk. For bass, head to the rocks and reefs around Face Canyon or try the rocky flats near Padre Bay. As for the best bait and lures—silver spoons, topwater poppers at first light, green pumpkin plastics throughout the day, and live shad if you’re set up for netting. Stripers can’t resist anchovy chunks if you’re bait fishing from shore. Lake Powell’s autumn bite is wide open. The scenery is unbeatable, boats are spaced out, and the fish are feeding hard.

It’s a stellar autumn morning on the water, with sunrise peeking over the mesas at 7:33 AM and a glassy calm that makes every cast a little more hopeful. The sun will set at 6:38 PM tonight, so you’ve got a good window for full-day action. Winds are forecast to stay light, highs in the low 70s, and overnight lows dipping to the upper 40s—perfect hoodie weather for those pre-dawn launches. Now, tidal influence is negligible here on the Colorado Plateau, so don’t sweat the moon pull, but the best bite windows line up with solunar major periods running roughly 1:50 to 3:50 PM and a brisk early minor window from just before 8 to 9 AM. According to yesterday’s Lake Powell Daily Fishing Report, fish are busting shad across the backs of coves, and the water temp is hovering in the mid-60s—ideal for fall feeding frenzies. Let’s talk fish activity. Stripers are thick in the main channel, especially around the mouth of Navajo Canyon and up near Dangling Rope. Anglers landed limits yesterday soaking anchovies off rocky points, pulling up dozens of stripers in the 1- to 3-pound class in just a couple of hours—worth the trip alone. For those casting instead of soaking, success came on jigging spoons and small swim baits, especially in 30 to 60 feet where schools are chasing shad balls. Large and smallmouth bass are cruising shallow shelves first light and again late afternoon. Best catches lately have been chunk rock between Wahweap and Padre Bay: Texas-rigged green pumpkin plastics, small topwater poppers at dawn, and shad-patterned crankbaits have all produced. Expect smallmouth action to really heat up mid-morning as the sun warms the rocks. And don’t overlook walleye—word from the marina docks is that several were pulled in after dark near the Stateline auxiliary ramp, with nightcrawler harnesses and silver blade baits getting the job done. Catfish remain a solid bet from the shorelines around Antelope Point, with cut bait or chicken livers doing most of the damage after sunset. For lures and bait, the current best bets: - Anchovies or cut bait for stripers (anchored or drifted) - Shad-imitator swim baits, Kastmasters, and bucktail jigs for active schools - Ned rigs, green pumpkin tubes, and chrome jerkbaits for bass - Worm harnesses and silver blade baits for walleye - Good old chicken livers or prepared dough for channel cats If you’re looking to fill the cooler, two hot spots right now are: - The mouth of Navajo Canyon, especially around the buoy lines—stripers are stacked, and the occasional bonus walleye is lurking below. - Rock piles and drop-offs in Padre Bay—bass are staged up, and you might even tangle with a rogue crappie or two. Lake levels remain low but stable, so exercise caution when running shallow coves and always keep an eye out for submerged rock structure.

Weather at first light was cool and clear, sitting right around 46 degrees, but we’re quickly climbing to a sunny high near 70. Winds are calm and skies are blue, making for perfect fall fishing conditions. According to timeanddate.com, sunrise hit at 6:21 am with sunset coming at 6:08 pm, giving us nearly 12 hours of daylight to work those lines. No tidal influence here—just that classic Lake Powell glass at dawn and dusk for your best topwater action. The water level has crept up a tad after this fall’s rains upstream, and clarity’s still good in the main channel. Stripers and walleye continue to feed aggressively thanks to cooling water temps. According to the Lake Powell Daily Fishing Report podcast, the last week has seen strong numbers of striped bass coming in—anglers are pulling in 10 to 30 fish per morning in the mid-lake zones, especially trolling live anchovies and casting swim baits around points. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have been holding near structure. Soft plastics—green pumpkin and chartreuse tubes, craw imitators, and Ned rigs—have been especially hot pitched around rocky ledges, isolated bushes, and sunken brush near Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon. Spinnerbaits with a white skirt and silver blade have drawn some reaction strikes when the wind picks up later in the morning. Walleye are sliding a little deeper. Drifting bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawlers or Gulp! minnows along tapering flats around the mouth of Last Chance Bay has produced scattered walleye most mornings. Catfish remain active in the back of coves using stink baits or cut anchovies. The bluegill and sunfish bite has slowed, but you’ll still pick up a few around the marinas using worms beneath a bobber midday. The most consistent action spots have been: - The mouth of Warm Creek Bay—stripers are actively corralling shad in open water, and bass are buried in shoreline cover. - Rock Creek to Dungeon Canyon—great for trolling striper lines and pitching plastics for smallmouth. If you’re targeting stripers, you can’t beat live anchovies, but if you’re after numbers and a wild ride, toss a four-inch pearl or silver swim bait at breaking fish at daylight or dusk. For bass, start with soft plastics; if the sun’s high, switch to deep-diving crankbaits or watermelon red-flake jigs. Recent catches logged show stringers with mixed stripers ranging 2-4 pounds, plenty of smallmouth up to 3 pounds, an occasional 4-5 pound largemouth, and the odd walleye around 18 inches. Mornings have been busiest, so get out early—fish are stacking up before boat traffic and midday sun. For a quiet getaway, don’t overlook the narrows just above Antelope Point Marina where less pressure means spooky bass might be more willing. And, in this weather, don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water—you’ll be out there all day, believe me!

Staying true to the local drill: sunrise hit at 7:30 AM, sunset set for just before 6:45 PM—it’s giving us prime daylight hours for casting lines and working the banks. No tidal swings to report here, of course—Powell’s a big reservoir, not a tidewater. What did shift, though, was the weather. We’ve had a recent stretch of clear, cool mornings, with today’s temps starting around 1°C and climbing to maybe 8°C by midday. There’s barely a whisper of wind, just enough to ripple the surface, and skies are straight sunshine—PredictWind calls it “light and variable,” making for glassy runs up and down the channels. Lake level putters along healthy at about 3,545 feet of surface elevation, steady since early October, as reported by Coyote Gulch. Recent rains in the four corners didn’t raise Powell much but did cool the water and clear out some of the late-season haze. These conditions have set fish on the move and got shad schooling tighter in coves during the early part of the day, spurring on the predatory bite. Striped bass are the headline this week—word from Bullfrog Marina is of steady action, with anglers pulling in stripes across the 2- to 4-pound range. Boats drifting off main lake points and at the mouth of Good Hope Bay reported limits before noon using vertical jigging spoons, especially silver Kastmasters and chrome Hopkins. Trolling has been less productive the last few days. Early morning boils have gotten shorter but are still firing—watch for bird activity, especially near the Stairsteps and mouth of Halls Creek Bay. Smallmouth and largemouth bass pushed shallow after the cool-down. Look for rocky ledges and points with a bit of sun on them. Anglers scored well on green pumpkin tubes and Ned rigs worked slow along the bluff lines in Warm Creek Bay and Last Chance. If you’re after numbers, that’s the spot; plastics in natural baitfish or craw patterns did best. Walleye action has picked up in the early evening. Folks bouncing chartreuse jigs tipped with nightcrawlers in 20-30 feet around Bullfrog and the edge of Padre Bay have been boating fish up to 20 inches. No major slabs reported, but pleasing mixed bags for the table. Bluegill and crappie are still active, especially near brush piles and in the backs of sheltered coves, with recent catches reported on mealworms and small marabou jigs beneath slip bobbers. Kid-friendly and a reliable way to get the stringer filled out for a fish fry. Best bet for bait: for stripers, toss anchovies or cut baits down the old river channel ledges—it’s been the day-saver when the artificial bite slows up. For bass, stick to those soft plastics and downsize if the bite goes off with the sun climbing high.

Let's break it all down for you—today's date is October 15, 2025, and if you're plotting your day on the water, you’ll see sunrise around 7:30 AM and sunset just shy of 6:30 PM, giving you a generous window to chase those stripes and smallies. Weather-wise, we’re looking at a textbook Utah fall morning—sunny, crisp with lows near 50°F, and highs climbing into the low 80s by afternoon according to WeatherWorld. Winds are light for now, so expect smooth cruising on the main channel and protected coves. Humidity’s sitting at about 60%, and visibility is sharp—good news for sight-fishing fans. Barometric pressure is steady, which usually means the bite stays consistent, but keep an eye out for afternoon breezes picking up as the canyon heats up. Now, let's talk fish. Lake Powell doesn’t have tides like the ocean, but water levels are everything out here. This year’s been tough—drought hung on through summer, and the lake’s surface dropped a whopping 33 feet over the water year, settling at just 3,545 feet as of October 1, according to regional water watchers. That means ramp access is changing, so double-check your launch points and watch for newly exposed structure—those submerged brush piles and rock ledges are now primo real estate for bass and walleye. Fish activity’s been picking up as the water cools. Smallmouth are stacked on points and rocky humps, chasing shad schools tight to the banks. Largemouth are hugging the remaining brush and flooded timber, especially in the backs of canyons where bait is balling up. Striped bass runs have been hit-or-miss this fall—blame the low water and tough shad numbers—but when you find them, it’s still lights-out on live bait or big swimbaits. Recent reports from local guides suggest decent numbers of smallmouth in the 2–4 lb range, with the occasional 5-plus-pound bruiser for those working deep-diving crankbaits along submerged ridges. Walleye are showing on drop-offs near creek channels, especially at first and last light. As for lures, reaction baits are ruling the roost right now. Football-head jigs in green pumpkin or watermelon craw colors are getting hammered when dragged slowly along rocky bottoms. Drop-shot rigs with 4" finesse worms in smoke or margarita mutilator are cheating limits when the bite gets tough. Topwater action has tapered off with the cooler mornings, but a Heddon Super Spook or Rico can still call up a reaction strike at daybreak. For stripes, nothing beats a live shiner or a big, jointed swimbait like the Storm Wildeye Swim Shad in shad or bluegill. If you’re after walleye, slow-roll a perch-pattern crankbait or drag a nightcrawler harness along steep breaks. Bait?

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 07:41:49 -0000 full Inception Point AI Howdy folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live from the shores of Lake Powell, where the desert sun wakes up over red cliffs and the bass are starting to get serious about fall feeding. Let's break it all down for you—today's date is October 15, 2025, and if you're plotting your day on the water, you’ll see sunrise around 7:30 AM and sunset just shy of 6:30 PM, giving you a generous window to chase those stripes and smallies.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Sunday, October 12th, 2025. We're looking at beautiful fall conditions on the lake today. The National Weather Service shows mostly clear skies with temperatures climbing from the lower 60s this morning into the mid-70s by afternoon. There's a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon, so you'll want to get out early. Sunrise was around 7:15 AM, and we've got until about 6:45 PM before sunset. Light and variable winds this morning will keep the water calm—perfect for getting on those stripers early. The fishing has been absolutely stellar lately. Striped bass continue to dominate the action, and they're feeding aggressively as fall sets in. Anglers have been finding them schooling up in the main channels and around points. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also active, tucking into coves and relating to rocky structure as water temperatures cool into that sweet spot. For lures, October is all about versatility. Topwater frogs and senkos are producing solid bass bites in the calmer morning hours. For stripers, you can't go wrong with swimbaits and jerkbaits in shad patterns—they're mimicking the baitfish concentrations perfectly right now. If you're targeting walleye, which are also in the mix, soft plastics worked along drop-offs at dawn and dusk are your best bet. As for hot spots, Bullfrog Marina area has been producing consistent catches. Work the rocky points and submerged structure around the main channel. Another productive zone is up near the San Juan arm—stripers have been schooling there, and you'll see surface activity when they push bait to the top. The fall transition is in full swing, so these fish are feeding up before winter. With the cooler mornings and that slight chance of weather moving in this afternoon, your best window is right now through midday. Get out there, stay safe, and make it count.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Saturday, October 11th, 2025. The sun rose this morning at approximately 7:20, giving us that beautiful golden hour light across the water. We're looking at decent conditions today, though keep an eye on weather developments as moisture from what was Tropical Cyclone Priscilla is moving through the region. The National Weather Service mentioned flash flood risks continuing through tomorrow across southeastern California, southwestern Arizona, southern Nevada, and southwestern Utah, so stay weather-aware if you're heading to the more remote canyons. Water temperatures are holding in that sweet spot for fall fishing, and the fish are responding beautifully. Stripers remain the star of the show right now, actively feeding in the early morning hours and again as the sun starts to drop. Bass activity has been solid, with both largemouth and smallmouth cooperating. Walleye are also in the mix, especially for those willing to work deeper structures as daylight increases. For lures, you'll want to have topwater options ready for that first light action - poppers and walking baits are producing explosive strikes from stripers cruising the surface. As the morning progresses, switch to deep-diving crankbaits and vertical jigging spoons for those suspended fish. Soft plastics in shad patterns are money right now, particularly four to six-inch swimbaits on three-quarter ounce jigheads. For bait fishermen, live threadfin shad remain unbeatable if you can catch them, though cut anchovies are a solid alternative. A couple of hot spots worth checking: The channel edges near Wahweap Bay have been producing consistent striper action, especially where you find baitfish schools on your electronics. The rocky points around Padre Bay are holding quality smallmouth, and don't overlook the deeper water off Antelope Point Marina where walleye have been stacking up. Work those transition zones where shallow flats drop into deeper water - that's where predators are ambushing baitfish right now. If you're targeting bass specifically, focus on rocky banks with good sun exposure during the warmer parts of the day. The bite has been best early and late, so plan accordingly. Mid-day can be slower, but don't give up - work deeper presentations and you'll still find willing fish. Thanks for tuning in to this morning's report.

Today's sunrise hit at 7:23 AM and we'll see sunset around 6:50 PM. No tides out here, but water levels are on the lower side heading into fall, as reported by the Colorado River District. Recently, big storms have rolled through, with flash flood warnings and heavy rains thanks to Tropical Storm Priscilla—so stay mindful of debris and murky water, especially in tributary arms. KSL Weather calls for scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms all day, with highs in the upper 70s and gusty south winds. This is prime time for fishing if you know where to work around the changing conditions. Despite the water getting chopped up by storms, anglers are seeing solid action, especially in coves and around rock piles where runoff has stirred up baitfish. Recent catches include healthy numbers of striped bass, smallmouth bass, and walleye. According to word on BigFishTackle, stripers are running in schools near the dam and Wahweap Bay, hitting cut anchovies and shad imitations consistently. Smallmouth bass have moved shallow—try rocky points and steep drop-offs near Bullfrog and Good Hope Bay. Walleye are picking up, especially at dusk, on finesse presentations over submerged humps. Catfish are biting too, mainly at night, on cut bait around sandy beaches. Best lures right now: for stripers, toss anything that mimics shad—white or silver swimbaits, topwater walkers, and deep-diving crankbaits are hot. If targeting smallmouth, go natural with 3–4 inch tube jigs in green pumpkin or root beer. Drop-shot rigs rigged with Gulp minnows are getting hammered. For walleye, troll or cast deep-diving crankbaits in gold or perch pattern, or vertical jig with chartreuse spoons. Anchovies or cut bait still reel in the stripers reliably—it’s a staple here when the bite gets tough. Night fishing for catfish? Cut mackerel or chicken liver will bring 'em in. With all this rain, some anglers worry about stained water. Flip that in your favor by fishing brighter lures and rattling crankbaits—sound and flash help fish locate your bait. One pro tip: Look for muddy-to-clear water transitions near canyon mouths or stream inlets—these hold active fish that feed on the stirred-up forage. Local hot spots to check out: - Wahweap Marina: The striper bite is strong, especially on the east side rock shelves. - Bullfrog Bay: Smallmouths are hitting hard through midday—focus on the points and submerged brush piles. - Good Hope Bay: Action for both stripers and walleye spikes near the narrows at dawn and dusk. Keep your ears open for weather alerts and be safe on the water—some side canyons can flash flood quick after a storm. Remember, conditions change fast out here. The fall transition has fish chasing bait, and this stormy pattern is only stirring them up more.

We’re waking up to sunrise around 7:08 AM, with sunset at 7:54 PM giving us nearly 12 hours and 46 minutes of daylight to work those lines. The moon’s waxing crescent at 25%, which alongside the solunar forecast, suggests peak fish activity hitting between 5:12 and 7:12 AM and a solid evening window from 5:43 to 7:43 PM—make sure you’re out during those times for your best shot. Weather is cooperating with a classic Powell fall day: sunny skies, cool morning at about 54°F, warming nicely to highs near 76°F by late afternoon. Winds from the west at 17 mph will push some chop across points and main channel drop-offs, perfect for stirring up feeding action. Air is crisp and visibility is excellent, with barometric pressure keeping steady, so overall, an ideal day to be on the water by any measure, as confirmed by WeatherWorld.com and local forecasts. Water conditions remain stable, though the level at Bullfrog remains lower than historical averages according to Coyote Gulch’s recent coverage. That means some familiar spots—like the San Juan Arm and Last Chance Bay—are fishing differently than you may be used to, with deeper structure exposed and bass holding tight to any remaining flooded brush, rock piles, and ledges. Recent activity has been encouraging. Local anglers report decent counts of **largemouth** and **smallmouth bass**, with smallmouth outpacing largemouth, as is typical for Powell in the shoulder season. Four- to six-pounders have been common, especially where baitfish are shadowing submerged humps and rocky points. A few **striped bass** have been found boiling in open water early and late, chasing shad pods near Wahweap and Antelope. Some **walleye** have been picked off at dusk trolling deeper diving crankbaits or jigging near steep riprap banks. The best **lures** right now have been reaction baits. Topwater walkers, like the classic Zara Spook or Whopper Plopper, excel at dawn in coves and shallows. For midday, switch to soft plastic tubes in green pumpkin, 3-4 inch swimbaits, and craw pattern jigs fished slow along transitions from sand to rock. Crankbaits in shad or chartreuse are scoring well on active smallmouth and stripers, especially over main lake points. If you’re after walleye, slow-trolling crawler harnesses or vertical jigging with bright spoons near deeper structure is producing bites. Live **bait** is always in the conversation at Powell—with live shad or anchovies securing stripers reliably in deeper water, particularly below the dam or around the buoys at Bullfrog and Halls Crossing. Nightcrawlers and minnows fished off the bottom along submerged willows remain a solid option for walleye and the occasional channel cat.

It’s shaping up to be a crisp autumn morning along the canyons. Sunrise hit the cliffs at 7:08 a.m. today and we’ll see sunset around 7:54 p.m., giving us nearly 13 hours of daylight to work those rocky points and coves. The weather is clear and cool—expect morning temps in the lower 50s, climbing to mid-70s by afternoon. We got a light breeze out of the northeast, keeping the water a tad choppy but manageable. With water levels still low—Snoflo reported Bullfrog sitting shallow as of mid-September—expect some tighter access around the upper ends and more exposed structure near shore. There’s no real “tide” at Powell, but those wind-driven currents play plenty with baitfish and activity. The waxing crescent moon is up to 25%, with a minor solunar peak late morning, about 10:00–11:00 a.m., and a bigger evening bite lining up around 5:45–7:45 p.m., according to SolunarForecast. Plan your casts around those windows. As we swing into true fall, the fishing’s heating up after a slower summer. Surface water temps have dropped into the upper 60s, making this prime time for bass, striper, and walleye action. On the striper front, the bite’s been especially solid on the main lake and mouths of the canyons. Look for big boils just after sunrise—schools have been corralling shad against shorelines. Anglers trolling deep-diving crankbaits in shad or chrome have reported solid catches just north of Bullfrog and out near the mouth of Knowles Canyon, with some boats boating limits before noon, per this week’s Lake Powell Fishing Report Daily podcast. Largemouth and smallmouth are hitting hard on submerged rock piles between 5 and 20 feet—that fall pattern has ‘em moving up to feed heavy. Finesse jigs in green pumpkin, or anything with a bluegill pattern, have been getting it done near rocky ledges and transition zones. Wacky rigs and drop-shots are pulling decent numbers out of the brushier backs of Navajo and Warm Creek Bays. Topwater is back on the menu for that magic first half hour—walking baits and poppers tossed along steep walls and shallow flats are getting slammed, especially by smallies. As the sun comes up, switch to spinnerbaits and bladed jigs, especially in murkier water pushed by the wind. Don’t forget about soft swimbaits in white if you spot shad flickering on the surface. Walleye hunters are reporting good luck jigging crawler harnesses and vertical spoons along submerged humps, especially toward the southern end and near the mouth of Halls Creek. Best bite’s just as that evening shadow hits the water. If you’re looking for hot spots today, check out the stretch just outside Bullfrog Marina—lots of schools, easy access, and good structure as water drops. Over by Lone Rock and the Antelope Point area, you’ll find plenty of shad and actively feeding fish, especially early and late.

Over by Lone Rock and the Antelope Point area, you’ll find plenty of shad and actively feeding fish, especially early and late.

Skies are clear, temps pushing for a high near 89 today with a light breeze out of the east, making for a glassy surface early on according to WeatherWorld. Water is still well below historic averages, so keep an eye out for changing shoreline. Official sunrise hit at about 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 6:52 PM—plenty of daylight for a full day chasing stripers, bass, and walleye. Folks out since dawn have already reported solid activity along deeper ledges and shaded coves. Stripers are schooling up around the mouth of Bullfrog Bay and off the points near Dangling Rope, hammering shad in the early hours. Just yesterday, several boats limited out, hauling in stripers up to 5 pounds. Smallmouth bass are holding close to the rockpiles and submerged brush—especially in clear water near Navajo Canyon, where the morning topwater bite is hot. According to the Lake Powell Utah Daily Fishing Report podcast, white bass action is steady in the main channel where boils are popping just after first light. Best luck has come using chartreuse or white soft plastics rigged on quarter-ounce jig heads, and gold spoons have been effective on drop-offs once the sun gets higher. For smallmouth and largemouth, locals are favoring shad-colored crankbaits and green pumpkin tubes worked slow along vertical walls. With the continued heat hitting the region, fish are deeper after 10 AM—target 20 to 35 feet until the evening cool-off. If you’re targeting walleye, early morning has brought some keepers to trollers dragging bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawlers, mostly along sandy flats east of Stanton Creek. Night fishing near Antelope Point is producing good catfish action—cut carp and chicken livers seem to be the most reliable baits. While tides aren’t a concern on Lake Powell, these weather patterns mean look for active fish at dawn and dusk, and slow, precise presentations during midday heat. Water clarity remains high, so downsize your leaders if fish turn finicky. Hot spots today are definitely Bullfrog Bay—especially around the old marina docks—and further south, the back of Last Chance Bay where shad are thick and stripers are right behind them. Remember, conservation is more crucial than ever—water levels near Bullfrog are still low as reported by Coyote Gulch, so watch your hull on exposed rock and submerged timber.

The sun rose at 7:20 AM and anglers can expect it to set around 7:04 PM tonight, giving us ample daylight to put something in the livewell. Weatherwise, it’s a warm start for early October, with highs projected in the low 80s—unseasonably mild. KUTV’s forecast says we’ll see about 80 today with plenty of sunshine and a bit of a breeze picking up by midday, which should move baitfish and keep the fish active. Recent patterns show Lake Powell is still running low, with levels hovering down near Bullfrog, and the region has been experiencing severe drought according to Coyote Gulch and the latest U.S. Drought Monitor updates. For boaters, the launch ramps remain accessible, but keep a sharp eye on those shallow flats and rock piles with the dropping water. Tidal action doesn’t impact Lake Powell since she’s a landlocked desert reservoir, so focus on the wind—a southwest breeze today will help congregate shad and could make for excellent reaction bait bites along windblown points and coves. Fishwise, October on Powell is prime time for chasing stripers, largemouth, smallmouth, and the occasional walleye or crappie. According to recent Lake Powell Chronicle updates and what’s coming over the air from Bulletins at Wahweap and Bullfrog marinas, stripers are stacking up on main lake points and around submerged creek channels. Smallmouths have been pushing up onto rocky structure as the water cools, sometimes as shallow as 5–15 feet. Anglers report solid striper hauls trolling deep-diving crankbaits and anchoring up with cut anchovy chunks around canyon mouths—20 to 30 fish mornings are not unusual now, with some bigger models in the mix and lots in the 1–2 pound range. Smallmouth and largemouth catches have also improved, especially as shad get pushed up on shallow shelves. Best baits and lures right now: for stripers, you can’t beat fresh cut anchovy on a sliding sinker rig; shad-pattern swimbaits and spoons really start shining when fish are chasing bait schools. If you’re targeting bass, Whiskey Riff’s October lure rundown is spot-on: topwater baits like the Whopper Plopper or a walking plug work best at dawn or during windy spells. As the sun comes up, switch to a green pumpkin or natural-colored jig and pick apart rocky edges or steep walls. Jerkbaits in shad or ghost colors are deadly this time of year, especially in transition zones where drop-offs meet shallow flats. Paddle tail swimbaits and underspins get thumped by both bass and stripers—anything that matches the hatch. For a truly local tip: Navajo Canyon and the mouth of Last Chance Bay have both been hot—stripers and smallmouth are keying on shad balls moving through those channels, and more than a few big walleye have come off deeper humps adjacent to the river channel.

Locals know autumn on Powell means clear, sapphire water, brisk mornings, and—despite the persistent drought—the bite is still on for those willing to adapt. Weather’s sitting sunny today, with the air right about 80 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit and barely a cloud to shade the glassy water, according to timeanddate.com. Winds are light, humidity’s low. Official sunrise hit us at 6:10 am, and we’re looking at sunset around 6:28 pm. Water’s dropping as that drought stretches on, and lake levels, though not catastrophic, are lower than average—a reminder that every year’s been drier than the last, as reported by AOL.com. Tide tables? That’s for the coasts, but for Powell, lake levels define everything. You may notice exposed rock shelves, new shallow bars, and channels getting tighter toward the back of the canyons. That’s changing where— and how—fish school up. Also, be mindful: zebra mussel monitoring continues after recent boom populations, so always clean your gear, says Rocky Mountain Community Radio. For fishing, the past week’s highlights are classic Powell: strong striper runs near the dam and Wahweap Marina, plenty of smallmouth bass across rocky points, and a smattering of crappie and walleye in secondary coves. Some locals have been hauling in healthy numbers—10-20 small stripers per morning isn’t rare at the fish-cleaning stations, and in the evenings tailslap boils mean shad are still drawing predators. Best bets for lures: - For stripers, toss **white or chrome spoons** and **shad-pattern swimbaits** around Wahweap, Antelope Point, and the mouth of Navajo Canyon. Anchoring and chunking cut anchovy or sardine remains a tried-and-true method if you prefer bait. Folks running sonar report suspended schools 40-60 ft down, so vertical jigging at dawn and dusk is effective. - Smallmouth bass are pounding **Ned rigs**, **3-inch tubes** in green pumpkin or cinnamon, and **drop-shotted soft plastics** on rocky ledges and submerged boulder fields—especially as water recedes, exposing fresh structure. - Crappie and walleye are showing up for the patient angler working **small jigs** or **grubs** tipped with nightcrawler in 20-30 ft depths inside quieter side canyons. October’s cooling temps get fish chasing baitfish into shallow waters early and late. Tossing **topwater plugs** at first light can grab aggressive smallies or even surprise largemouth up north near Good Hope Bay. Two hot spots this week: - Mouth of **Navajo Canyon**: Reports of fast striper action in morning hours, especially where bait balls are stacked up. - Northern end of **Rock Creek Bay**: Smallmouth are tightly schooled on boulders, and late afternoons here bring bonus walleye if you’re dragging nightcrawlers. With high fire risk still flagged in the region and drought conditions persisting, stay fire-smart at all camps and shore lunches.

We’re waking up to a perfect early fall morning at Lake Powell. Sunrise hit around 7:14 AM, and sunset’s lined up for about 7:10 PM. The skies are staying clear through most of the day, though you’ll see patches of clouds drifting by. Temperature is holding between the high 60s at dawn to a balmy 88°F by afternoon. Winds are mild, mostly pushing from the SSE at around 7 mph — so bring a light jacket for those early boat rides, but expect plenty of sun. [WeatherWorld.com reports these steady, warm conditions are ideal for keeping fish active, but keep your sunscreen close by.] Water levels are, frankly, low. As of September 27th, Lake Powell’s inflow is just 25 percent of average, with water managers eyeing each drop. Still, the lake’s holding enough to keep the launch ramps usable, and the clarity in the main channels means bass and stripers are on the move—especially around rocky drop-offs and submerged points. [Coyote Gulch notes negotiations for water levels are ongoing, but for now, fishing’s still solid.] The bite today’s been strong since dawn, especially for **smallmouth bass** and **striped bass**. Locals are reporting good numbers of smallies caught on rocky edges and structure near Bullfrog and Wahweap Marinas. Stripers are chasing baitfish early, especially in the lower lake arms. Anglers casting shad-pattern crankbaits and silver spoons have pulled in stripers up to 6 pounds in the past two mornings, and channel markers near Antelope Point remain hot for action. Top picks for lures right now? If you’re after bass, stick with **jigheads rigged with Yamamoto Hula Grubs**, and try a medium-diving crankbait or Chartreuse spinner for added flash. The **Zoom Z-Craw Jr on a 3/8-ounce jig** is landing several largemouth in pockets with deeper shade. For stripers, silver Kastmasters and swim baits around 3 inches are reliable — tip with a little anchovy or cut bait to trigger strikes when the bite slows. Topwater action is best in the hour after sunrise, so keep a popper handy if the water’s calm. Bait anglers are still cashing in with fresh anchovy chunks on bottom rigs, especially at depth near the mouth of Navajo Canyon. Chumming lightly is working well — just don’t overdo it and draw off the bite from your own spot. Recent catches have ranged from dozens of decent smallmouths per boat, with some reporting 40+ fish days. Stripers have been schooling tighter, with several boats reporting double-digit counts in a morning session. Largemouth are harder to get in numbers but are good quality, with 2-to-3 pounders coming out of timber and brush piles in the backs of major coves. **Hot spots this week:** - Bullfrog Marina’s main basin — great for both bass and striper morning bites. - Antelope Point channel markers — look for schooling stripers midday. - The back of Warm Creek Bay — bass moving shallow in the afternoon.

It's a gorgeous early autumn morning here in canyon country—lake temps holding steady, sky crystal clear, and the fall bite starting to swing in. That sunrise popped at 6:10 a.m., and you’ll be fishing solid light until about 6:28 p.m. today. The weather gods are blessing us with warm, stable conditions: expect sunshine all day, high near 88°F, cooling off to the mid-60s after sunset. No rain on the radar and only a gentle southerly breeze, so boating and casting conditions are prime, even with those historically low lake levels. According to CustomWeather, you’re looking at a water surface still hovering a bit above 3,545 feet—low, but more than enough to keep the backwaters open for some adventure. There’s no tidal action on Powell, since we’re a reservoir, not tidal water, so fish activity is all about water temps and weather. With the sun rising later, that early-morning low-light period is the magic window—stripers are feeding shallow, especially around main channel points and cliff drop-offs. Aggression is up this week: the Lake Powell Utah Daily Fishing Report from Spreaker says the bite is “aggressive” with a window moving from dawn until about 9:30 a.m., and again in the last hour before dusk. This week’s catches have been dominated by **striped bass**—anglers out of Wahweap and Bullfrog reported several limits pulled before 10 a.m. Most are schoolies in the 1–3 pound range, with some bigger fish mixed in. **Smallmouth bass** are also putting on a show, especially around chunk rock and submerged structure. Reports of **largemouth bass** are spotty but improving in backs of muddy coves and shaded timber. **Crappie** show in brushier pockets, and if you want a wild card, a few fat **catfish** are biting on cut bait off the marina docks after dark. Best lures right now? For stripers, nothing beats a ¾ oz bucktail jig, white or chartreuse, especially if you tip it with a small piece of anchovy. The classic vertical spoon—like a Kastmaster or Hopkins shorty—still gets smashed on deeper structure (30–60 feet of water). Trolling deep-diving crankbaits, like a Shad Rap or Bomber Fat Free Shad, just outside main channel markers, will bag you numbers and possibly a trophy. Smallmouth are whacking Ned rigs, tube baits in green pumpkin, and crankbaits bounced off the rocks. If you want a live bait edge, bring anchovies for stripers and nightcrawlers for bass and crappie. According to local tackle shops, these presentations are flying off the shelves this week. A couple hot spots to try today: - **The mouth of Navajo Canyon**—stripers are schooling and surface feeding here at first light; cast and retrieve topwaters or work your jig under the birds. - **The points near Antelope Marina**—smallmouth up shallow, stripers suspended at 40 feet, and the occasional big cat coming in after dark. - If you’re launching from Bullfrog, hit Stanton Creek flats This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:13 AM with sunset around 7:15 PM, giving us about twelve solid hours of daylight to work the water. No tidal report to worry about here—Lake Powell’s ain’t tidal, but you’ll want to watch wind and weather. Out at Bullfrog Marina, we’re looking at patchy rain with a high reaching 85°F and lows tonight dropping to 65°. Winds are light from the ENE at about 5 mph, humidity’s holding at 40%, and visibility’s good. That makes for real fishable weather—just keep an eye out for those rain patches rolling through, especially if you’re up-canyon or near exposed points, as the bite can pick up right before a squall according to seasoned locals. Expect similar conditions across Wahweap Bay and up to Good Hope[WeatherWorld.com]. With streamflows to the south and west at around 82% of the seasonal norm, water levels on Powell are stable, giving fish no reason to move too far from structure and depth breaks right now. Water temps should be holding in the mid-70s, ideal for both bass and stripers to stay active mid-day[Snoflo]. Reports from guides in the past week show good numbers of striped bass coming up on deep bait balls—especially early and again late afternoon. Folks have been picking up stripers by the dozens below Bullfrog and Halls Crossing trolling deep divers and vertical jigging with silver spoons right off the points and channel bends. The anchovy chunk bite is hot at dusk along the shade lines and around the marinas. If you want action, drop some salted anchovy on a 1oz weight and let it sit just off bottom—especially under the lights at the courtesy docks after dark. For largemouth and smallmouth, rocky coves and the reefs around Stanton Creek and Last Chance Bay have been consistent producers. This week, soft plastics—watermelon or pumpkin tube jigs and Ned rigs—are working in 10–20 feet. The morning topwater bite’s been lively with walking baits and popping lures tossed parallel to shore. Bring a spinnerbait for windier afternoons. Several anglers have also picked up quality smallmouth chucking crankbaits along submerged ledges from Padre Bay up toward Rock Creek.

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:40:53 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you the latest on fishing around Lake Powell, Utah, for Friday, September 26th, 2025. Today’s sunrise is at 7:13 AM with sunset around 7:15 PM, giving us about twelve solid hours of daylight to work the water. No tidal report to worry about here—Lake Powell’s ain’t tidal, but you’ll want to watch wind and weather. Out at Bullfrog Marina, we’re looking at patchy rain with a high reaching 85°F and lows tonight dropping to 65°. Winds are light from the ENE at about 5 mph, humidity’s holding at 40%, and visibility’s good. That makes for real fishable weather—just keep an eye out for those rain patches rolling through, especially if you’re up-canyon or near exposed points, as the bite can pick up right before a squall according to seasoned locals. Expect similar conditions across Wahweap Bay and up to Good Hope[WeatherWorld.com]. With streamflows to the south and west at around 82% of the seasonal norm, water levels on Powell are stable, giving fish no reason to move too far from structure and depth breaks right now. Water temps should be holding in the mid-70s, ideal for both bass and stripers to stay active mid-day[Snoflo]. Reports from guides in the past week show good numbers of striped bass coming up on deep bait balls—especially early and again late afternoon. Folks have been picking up stripers by the dozens below Bullfrog and Halls Crossing trolling deep divers and vertical jigging with silver spoons right off the points and channel bends. The anchovy chunk bite is hot at dusk along the shade lines and around the marinas. If you want action, drop some salted anchovy on a 1oz weight and let it sit just off bottom—especially under the lights at the courtesy docks after dark. For largemouth and smallmouth, rocky coves and the reefs around Stanton Creek and Last Chance Bay have been consistent producers. This week, soft plastics—watermelon or pumpkin tube jigs and Ned rigs—are working in 10–20 feet. The morning topwater bite’s been lively with walking baits and popping lures tossed parallel to shore. Bring a spinnerbait for windier afternoons. Several anglers have also picked up quality smallmouth chucking crankbaits along submerged ledges from Padre Bay up toward Rock Creek. Crappie and walleye have turned on near brush piles and shallow flats at the north end. Use small curly-tail grubs for crappie, especially near the submerged trees up north, and troll bottom bouncers with a nightcrawler harness for walleye when the sun’s low. For catfish, chicken livers and stinkbait on the sandy flats at Warm Creek still bring steady bites in the evenings.

We’re coming off a wild stretch of late-summer weather. Over the weekend, two rare tornadoes touched down in San Juan County, and storms rolled through bringing some much-needed cloud cover and rain across the region. These monsoonal blasts have given a temporary bump to streamflows feeding the lake, but water levels remain low—Lake Powell is sitting around 6.85 million acre-feet, well under a third of its historical norm, and the “savings account” is still on the decline according to recent reporting by The Land Desk. Navigating and launching at some ramps is getting a little tight, so be cautious, especially if you’re trailering in new areas. Today’s a classic late-September day at Bullfrog—the air is warm and dry again after the storms, topping out near 90 by the afternoon. Winds are out of the SSW, gusting to about 26 mph. Early morning is cooler, just above 70, so if you can get on the water before the sun’s full, you’ll find the most comfortable window. Humidity’s low at 30%, visibility is crystal clear, and the barometric pressure is holding steady. Sunrise comes at 7:10 a.m., with sunset closing things down just past 7:20 p.m. No tides on Powell, but water clarity is running stained to light mud in some coves after runoff from those storms. The weather shift has the fish feeling more aggressive, especially during the low-light hours at dawn and dusk. Stripers are busting up shad in open water, and reports from local guides have big schools just outside the mouth of Bullfrog Bay and up towards Good Hope. Anglers dragging anchovy chunks on downlines are landing 15+ fish in a morning, many in the 1- to 3-pound class. Bass anglers are also having a solid week—these rain events send largemouth and smallmouth up shallow. Spinnerbaits, especially white or chartreuse, are knocking fish in the flooded brush and rocky points. Look for smallies in main-lake points and along chunk rock; Ned rigs and green pumpkin jigs have been productive as the bite slows mid-morning. With water in the high 70s to low 80s, the active bite holds through mid-morning, then picks up again in the evening as temps cool. If you’re after walleye, bottom bouncers with chartreuse or craw-pattern crawlers are putting fish in the boat, particularly on main channel breaks near the mouth of Halls Creek. Crappie continue to relate to submerged trees and brush; use small jigs or minnows 15-25 feet down. The current best bets: - At dawn, work topwater baits like Whopper Ploppers or Zara Spooks around main lake flats—stripers, white bass, and even big smallmouth are smashing them in these conditions. - As the sun gets up or if it’s still overcast, switch to spinnerbaits, crankbaits (square-bill or lipless), and soft plastics along wind-blown points and secondary coves. - For stripers, try trolling with deep-divers or use cut bait on downlines in 40-60 feet near the dam, Bullfrog Bay, o This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First light hit the red rocks at 7:08 AM, and expect sunset around 7:29 PM tonight. The weather’s primed for a great day on the water—Bullfrog Marina is calling for clear skies and a high near 89°F, with a southwest breeze reaching up to 29 mph in the afternoon. Humidity is low, and the UV index will be high, so keep that sunscreen handy. No tidal influence here, just the emerald reservoir waiting for your cast, and based on Utah’s current flows, stream and reservoir levels are strong, holding at about 82% of normal—great news for boating and backwater action, per Snoflo’s most recent flow report. Just days ago, the Utah Wildlife Board in their September 18th meeting highlighted that Lake Powell’s water levels are steady, and the fish populations look healthy. Stripers are chasing shad in the shallows come dawn, pushing bait up against rocky walls and coves—classic Lake Powell fall pattern. Anglers have reported solid action in the morning, especially around Warm Creek and the backs of Last Chance Bay. Both areas are hot tickets today. The best bite this week is early. Quick limits of striped bass have been coming in trolling deep-diving crankbaits along channel drop-offs, with white and chrome Rapalas performing best. Later, switch to cutbait—anchovy or shad—for live-baiting under schools when they graph up. Toss topwater walking baits at sunrise for boils. Smallmouth bass are hanging close to rocky points and ledges, hammering green pumpkin tube jigs and dropshot rigs with 3-inch shad imitations. Some crappie and bluegill are showing up near submerged brush and in the marinas; use small crappie jigs tipped with chartreuse soft plastics. Catfish are still prowling the muddy coves—dead bait or stinkbait on the bottom after sunset is your best shot. Recent hauls reported by locals: nice cooler-fulls of stripers—up to 40 fish before 10 AM—plus chunky smallmouth in the 12–16 inch range. Panfish catches have been steadier near Wahweap and Antelope Point docks. No trophy largemouth showing up at the moment, but a few bonus walleye popping up on bottom bouncers in the northern arms. For lure selection, stick with: - Deep-diving cranks, white or chrome. - Topwater lures—Spooks and walking baits—for boiling fish. - Tube jigs or Ned rigs in green pumpkin or brown. - Jigging spoons in 1/2 ounce when fish are deeper mid-morning. Anchovy or shad cutbait reigns for stripers, and worms or small jigs get bites from panfish near cover. Your hotspots today: - Warm Creek, especially early. - Last Chance Bay, look for surface boils. - Rock Creek for smallie action. - Wahweap Marina and Antelope Point for mixed bag, including panfish. - The mouth of Navajo Canyon, a perennial producer for trolling.

Today’s sunrise hit at 7:09 AM, and you can expect sunset right around 7:32 PM, making for a solid window of daylight to wet a line. Over at Bullfrog Marina this morning, the skies are overcast, temps are climbing from the mid-60s and will peak near 89°F this afternoon, and the wind is light out of the southwest. Humidity lingers at 30%, so bring water and sunscreen even though the sun's peeking through less often. According to WeatherWorld.com, there’s a low chance—less than 10%—of any real rain until late tonight, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see a quick sprinkle in the back of some canyons. Now, we don’t get tidal action on this reservoir—being a manmade beauty, Lake Powell stays pretty steady on day-to-day water movement—so you can focus on chasing fish with the weather and water temps as your best guides. Fishing’s been steady and picking up as the water temperature drops from those summer highs. Already this week at the ramps and docks, I’ve seen a half-dozen striped bass coming in on stringers every morning, most running 2–4 pounds with a couple brutes pushing the 7-pound mark. Smallmouth bass action has been best along rocky points and ledges near Stanton Creek and around Good Hope Bay, with anglers reporting easy limits if you find the right depth change. Catfish are fiendish on the bottom at night and dusk, with several muddy-whiskered blues over 10 pounds caught off the muddy flats east of Halls Crossing. Best lures right now? You can’t go wrong with a shad-imitating crankbait or white or chartreuse swimbaits for stripers—anything that mimics those schooling shad. Topwater walkers and Zara Spooks produce explosive strikes early and at dusk. For smallmouth, the classic drop-shot with a 4-inch worm in green pumpkin or watermelon is still king, but those Ned rigs and microjigs are money around submerged structure. If you’re hunting walleye, a jigtipped crawler fished slow along channel edges lets you cover water and fool those sharp-eyed devils. Bait anglers are scoring well with frozen anchovies for stripers—just chunk up the bait and drop down where the sonar shows a ball of fish, especially from Bullfrog down to Dangling Rope. Nightcrawlers and chicken livers on a slip sinker rig will tempt both big channel cats and the occasional carp in the muddy bays. Hot spots this week? Try the rocky drop-offs at Stanton Creek for bass in the morning, switching to stripers by midday on the main lake humps near the mouth of Forgotten Canyon. For numbers of fat bluegill and a few bonus crappie, hit the shallow brush piles on the southern edge of Warm Creek Bay. Boat launches are fully open at Bullfrog and Wahweap, so access is no problem. Flows are pretty stable, and clarity’s unusually high for late September, giving sight-fishers a good shot in This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise hit the water at 6:06 a.m., and we’re expecting sunset around 7:33 p.m.—a solid thirteen hours of daylight prime for getting after those feisty Powell fish. The weather’s shaping up beautifully: the forecast out of Bullfrog Marina calls for sun, high temps reaching 89°F, with low humidity and a light southwest wind. The barometer’s steady near 29.94 inches, always good for consistent fish activity, and no rain is expected today according to WeatherWorld.com. With all that sunshine, the lake’s surface should be warming quick, keeping those fish active, especially early and late. Tides don’t impact freshwater fishing here, so focus on the wind—gentle breezes out of the southwest will keep things comfortable and help push baitfish into coves and points, which is where the action is heating up. Recent reports from local anglers and channels like Lake Powell Fishing point to strong catches of **striped bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and some healthy walleye**. The striper bite has picked up near the dam and around the mouth of main canyons like Stateline and Wahweap, where boils of shad are drawing hungry predators. Folks are catching good numbers in the early morning casting spoons, white or chrome topwater walkers, and soft plastic swimbaits. **For stripers:** Best results are coming on 3/4 oz. silver or white spoons dropped into boils, or by trolling deep-diving crankbaits in shad or perch patterns along steep drop-offs. Anchovy chunks, soaked on a simple rig, are also putting fish on the boat for those who’d rather soak bait. **Smallmouth bass** have been aggressive along rocky points and submerged ledges in the mid-lake areas, particularly between Bullfrog and Good Hope Bay. Productive lures include green pumpkin or watermelon tube jigs, 3-inch curly tail grubs, and Ned rigs. The high sun midday can push bass deeper, so consider drop-shotting finesse worms or dragging Carolina-rigged plastics in 20–30 feet of water. **Channel catfish** are prowling the flats and coves, especially near inflows and where muddy banks warm up first. Nightcrawlers, cut bait, or stinkbaits fished on the bottom are all effective, especially towards dusk. **Walleye** reports have been spotty but promising—target the lower light hours with chartreuse or firetiger-colored crankbaits along points and sandy drops. Jigs tipped with nightcrawler or small swimbaits bounced through 25–40 feet have also picked up some keepers. A few words about conditions: With zebra mussels now officially established in Lake Powell, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is urging every boater and angler to “clean, drain, and dry” gear thoroughly to prevent the spread, based on their recent survey results shared by Rocky Mountain Community Radio. Keep an eye on your intakes, lines, and anchors especially. **Hot spots to try today:** - The mouth of Warm Creek Bay and just off the Navajo Can This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today at Lake Powell, the weather’s been a mixed bag. According to WeatherWorld.com, we’ve had moderate rain earlier with highs pushing 89°F and lows dipping into the upper 60s. Winds have been brisk, out of the southwest at about 29 mph, and the humidity hangs in the comfortable 40–50% zone—not unusual for September but it’s made the fishing a bit interesting the past few days. Sunrise today was right around 6:59 a.m., and sunset’s scheduled for 7:33 p.m.—gives you a solid window for both the dawn and dusk bite. Big catches this week are coming out of the main lake points and back ends of coves. Stripers have been active around the dam and at the mouth of Navajo Canyon, especially at first light and again late in the evening. Recent reports from local anglers at the marinas say several boats limited out on stripers using cut anchovy and deep-diving crankbaits. The anchovy bite is solid right now, and vertical jigging spoons are also putting fish in the boat around the 40–60 foot depth lines. Smallmouth bass are picking up with the cooling rain, moving up onto the rocky shelves and points. Folks have been doing well with soft plastics—think green pumpkin and watermelon tubes—as well as drop-shot rigs fished slow. Crayfish imitations are the name of the game in the shallows, especially along the rocky transitions up near Bullfrog and Good Hope Bay. A few nice largemouths have been caught near flooded brush on spinnerbaits, but by and large, smallies are king during these late summer days. For walleye chasers, trolling worm harnesses and slow-drifting nightcrawlers near the bottom in 20–30 feet of water is paying off. Mornings are best, but don’t discount the evening bite, either. Catfishing remains consistent around Wahweap and along sandy flats in the backs of coves. Chicken liver and stink bait will do the trick. The recent rains haven’t slowed the action much, but nights are cooler, so bring a jacket if you’re planning to fish after sundown. Crappie have been a little hit-or-miss—I haven’t heard of any big numbers yet, but a few slabs have turned up tucked into submerged timber and brush piles, mostly on live minnows. Best lures right now: deep-diving shad-patterned crankbaits, white and chartreuse spinnerbaits, 4-inch tubes, and anything that mimics shad or crawdads. Live bait, especially anchovy for stripers and nightcrawlers for walleye, is hard to beat. And don’t be afraid to work the water—covering ground makes the difference, just like The Owen News reminds us, fish move in and out of an area, and moving baits catch more attention. Hot spots today? Give the mouth of Navajo Canyon a shot early, especially for stripers and smallies. Good Hope Bay up north is also producing—look for rocky shelves and transition banks. For catfish, drop your anchor near Warm Creek or the backs of Padre Bay in the evening hours.

The anchovy bite is solid right now, and vertical jigging spoons are also putting fish in the boat around the 40–60 foot depth lines. Smallmouth bass are picking up with the cooling rain, moving up onto the rocky shelves and points. Folks have been doing well with soft plastics—think green pumpkin and watermelon tubes—as well as drop-shot rigs fished slow. Crayfish imitations are the name of the game in the shallows, especially along the rocky transitions up near Bullfrog and Good Hope Bay. A few nice largemouths have been caught near flooded brush on spinnerbaits, but by and large, smallies are king during these late summer days. For walleye chasers, trolling worm harnesses and slow-drifting nightcrawlers near the bottom in 20–30 feet of water is paying off. Mornings are best, but don’t discount the evening bite, either. Catfishing remains consistent around Wahweap and along sandy flats in the backs of coves. Chicken liver and stink bait will do the trick. The recent rains haven’t slowed the action much, but nights are cooler, so bring a jacket if you’re planning to fish after sundown. Crappie have been a little hit-or-miss—I haven’t heard of any big numbers yet, but a few slabs have turned up tucked into submerged timber and brush piles, mostly on live minnows. Best lures right now: deep-diving shad-patterned crankbaits, white and chartreuse spinnerbaits, 4-inch tubes, and anything that mimics shad or crawdads. Live bait, especially anchovy for stripers and nightcrawlers for walleye, is hard to beat. And don’t be afraid to work the water—covering ground makes the difference, just like The Owen News reminds us, fish move in and out of an area, and moving baits catch more attention. Hot spots today? Give the mouth of Navajo Canyon a shot early, especially for stripers and smallies. Good Hope Bay up north is also producing—look for rocky shelves and transition banks. For catfish, drop your anchor near Warm Creek or the backs of Padre Bay in the evening hours.

It’s a crisp, quiet morning at the ramp. Sunrise dazzled over the red cliffs right at 6:53 AM, and you can expect sunset tonight to linger at about 7:32 PM. The weather today’s a local’s dream: clear, dry skies, and mild—look for highs in the upper 80s to maybe low 90s near the banks. According to the KSL Weather Center, northern Utah’s still riding a warm streak, but with the edge coming off summer, morning and evening temps are much more comfortable. Winds are light early, picking up a touch in the afternoon, so chase that topwater bite while it’s still glassy. Now, there are no tides on Lake Powell—she’s a reservoir, so no need to fret about tidal charts. Flows from the Colorado River remain below average according to this week’s St. George News piece, which means the lake sits a bit lower. Shallower structure’s more exposed, and some back bays you might know from spring are high and dry. That said, the fish are on the move, stacking up tight to main lake points and island drop-offs. The bite? Let’s talk hot action. Stripers are still in late summer mode, but cooling nights have started to bunch ’em up around schools of shad. Word from the Lake Powell Fishing Report Podcast last week: If you’re early, the striper boils are happening right off the main channel, up by Dove Canyon and the mouth of Warm Creek. Anglers tossing 2-ounce chrome or white jigging spoons, as well as classic topwater walkers like Zara Spooks, came away with double-digit catches, some boats reporting 20–30 stripers each, most running 2–3 lbs, with a few pushing 4 lbs. The best action for stripers has been before 10 AM, as the sun climbs. Smallmouth bass action remains steady. Folks are working main-lake rocky points and submerged humps with Ned rigs, shad-colored tubes, and dropshot rigs, especially near Padre Bay and in the canyons around Bullfrog. As usual this time of year, crayfish imitations draw big numbers—if you stick to green pumpkin or watermelon red flake, you’ll stick some fish. Expect plenty of scrappy smallmouths, with catch rates of a dozen or more per outing, most in the 1–2 lb class. For largemouth, target the backs of brushy coves with soft plastics, especially mid-morning when the sun hits that submerged brush. Many locals report better numbers near Dangling Rope and Lost Eden this week. Bass are less abundant than the smallies but the ones caught often run larger, topping 3 lbs. Catfish are in the coves and creek mouths—hot dogs, chicken livers, and cut shad have all put fish in the boat this week, particularly after sunset along sandy or muddy banks. With the new moon waning, night fishing is fair but not spectacular. If you’re after a mess of fish, the early daylight and dusk bite are still your best window.

Sunrise popped over the canyon walls at 6:52 AM today, and we're heading for sunny skies with no chance of rain. Temps are on the rise—expect a high around 90°F by midafternoon with a nice, dry humidity at about 30% throughout the day. Winds staying steady out of the south-southwest near 26 mph, so plan your drift accordingly. Sunset's due around 7:30 PM. Lake Powell remains several feet below full pool, but water clarity's excellent and boat traffic light this morning. No tidal action here in the desert, but barometric pressure is stable at 29.85 inches, which tends to keep those fish active through the major feeding windows—especially early and late. The last few days saw a solid uptick in fishing activity. Stripers have been locked in near the dam and deeper main channel cuts, with boats reporting double-digit catches, mostly in the 2–5 lb range. Anglers tossing cut anchovies and live shad are bringing up quick limits—stripers are aggressive, and the action is best from dawn through midmorning. For artificial fans, go with chrome slab spoons or deep-diving crankbaits mimicking shad. Smallmouth bass are snapping around rocky structure and points, with most fish taken on soft plastic grubs and tubes rigged on quarter-ounce jigs. The early bite’s hot in coves around Warm Creek and Padre Bay. Some locals are switching things up midday with Carolina rigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Creature baits in green pumpkin and natural hues mimic the forage perfectly. Catfish are showing up strong in shallow washes, especially after dark—chicken livers and stink baits working best. Bank anglers at Bullfrog Marina hooked plenty of 1–3 lb channel cats this week. Crappie remain spotty, but drop-offs with submerged brush near Stanton Creek delivered a few slabs to those patient with minnows under slip bobbers. Best action today is centered around two hot spots: the Cut just north of Antelope Marina—stripers and bass are holding in 35–45 feet, so vertical presentations rule. Second, the mouth of Face Canyon, where steep banks and incoming cooler water have concentrated both bass and catfish. If you’re willing to chase them, trolling between these areas with swimbaits in shad colors delivers solid mixed bags, especially as the sun climbs high. For gear, bring a good mix: medium spinning tackle for bass, heavier rods for stripers and cats. Don't forget your sunscreen and plenty of water—it’s a scorcher out there and that desert sun doesn’t play. That’s it for your September 13th Lake Powell fishing fix.

No precipitation to speak of, and those typical southwesterly breezes shouldn’t be much over 10–15 mph during the prime morning bite, though by afternoon expect a bit more wind and some chop according to Weather World. With late summer patterns still holding, Lake Powell’s water is sitting right in that 67–68°F range. That’s baitfish heaven, and the stripers know it. Reports from the last couple days echoed what we’ve seen across the region: the hot bite is in the first couple hours after sun-up. Echoing user chatter from BigFishTackle, after 9:30 a.m. the fishing does get tough, so don’t waste your morning at the dock. Smallmouth bass have been the big stars this week, with several catches just pushing 18 inches. Perch are showing up more, though the “jumbos” haven’t stacked up just yet. Toss single-tail grubs—Yamamoto’s in natural shad colors are money—on rocky points and submerged ledges. Drop-shot rigs with shad-shaped plastics are producing all over the mid-lake and up to Bullfrog. If you’re after stripers, early boil action has been limited, but throwing white or chrome topwaters at first light near Wahweap or the mouth of Warm Creek has rewarded patient anglers with nice schoolies. Don’t wait for big surface explosions—watch for subtle flicks and quick surface dimples. Catfishers are still picking up some good-sized channel cats from the shallows of Padre Bay and Warm Creek, especially at dusk and after sundown. Cut bait or nightcrawlers around sandy points are best. Bluegill and sunfish action remains steady in the backs of coves, where the water is a tad warmer and you’ll find plenty of submerged brush and willows. Baitwise, anchovies—cut and fished just off the bottom—remain the Lake Powell classic for stripers, especially if you stumble across a deeper school. But artificial lures, especially those single-tail grubs and shad-style worms, are working just as well for bass. For those throwing jigs, stick with natural hues: green pumpkin, smoke, and anything with a dash of chartreuse. If you’re looking for a few hot spots—put in at Antelope Point and work around Navaho Canyon early, or drift across the main channel points near the mouth of Last Chance Bay. Wahweap Bay’s rocky banks are holding smallies, especially near shade lines as the sun climbs higher. Don’t overlook Gunsight Butte where boils, though few, have popped up consistently the last few dawns. For those keeping tabs on the region’s water, Coyote Gulch blog notes that local rains have marginally improved drought conditions in southern Utah, but Lake Powell itself still faces historic low storage.

It's a classic late-summer morning in southern Utah: air temps are already climbing, skies mostly sunny with just the faintest chance of afternoon rain drifting in from neighboring regions—definitely bring a hat, sunglasses, and stay hydrated. No need to bother with tidal reports here; Lake Powell’s a reservoir, so what matters are water levels and recent inflows. A few weeks back, local ranches in the Upper Basin had wrapped up their water conservation programs, and while most water releases have stabilized, anglers report decent clarity and moderate current around major tributary cuts. Fish activity is up as water temps remain warm. Stripers are schooling tight off points and canyon mouths—especially near the dam and Warm Creek Bay. Recent catches have been solid, with boaters landing stringers of 10 to 30 striped bass in a morning session. The usual method: vertical jigging with 1- to 2-ounce Kastmasters or anchovies on a light dropper rig. Cast crankbaits and white curlytail jigs if the school goes shallow or starts chasing shad up. Largemouth and smallmouth bass have been moving onto rocky shelves and brush piles as the sun rises. Locals are pulling 2- to 3-pound fish with green pumpkin Senkos or white spinnerbaits around the Castle Rock cut and Navajo Canyon. Don't overlook the coves at Lone Rock—bluegill bite picks up on small jigs tipped with worm as the day goes on. Chicken liver and nightcrawlers are working well for channel catfish along sandy beaches and below campgrounds. For crappie, look for brush piles and zigzag jetties in the backwaters—small tubes and minnows under a slip bobber do the trick. Reports suggest fair numbers of black crappie and some chunky bluegill coming in from the shallows. Walleye are less active during bright daylight, but trolling shad-imitating crankbaits along deeper ledges, especially by the dam, is your best bet. Best baits and lures this week: - Anchovies or smelt strips for striper (on dropper rigs) - 1-2 oz. chrome Kastmasters - White or chartreuse curlytail jigs - Green pumpkin Senko worms for bass - White spinnerbaits for bass and walleye - Small tube jigs, hair jigs, or live minnows for crappie and bluegill - Nightcrawlers, chicken liver for catfish Hot spots worth your effort: - **Warm Creek Bay:** Stripers thick at 40-60 feet; toss jigs and anchovies. - **Navajo Canyon:** Mixed bass and predator action, plus some crappie off brush. - **Castle Rock cut:** Bass stacked around rocky shelves early. - **Lone Rock Beach:** Good for bluegill and catfish with worm-tipped jigs and liver. Fish are biting best early (dawn to 9 a.m.) and late (5:30–sunset). Midday slows a bit, but moving to deeper water can keep your lines tight.

Sunrise shined at 6:52 AM and we’re looking at sunset close to 7:40 PM tonight, giving you plenty of light for a long day on the water. Weather is classic late summer Utah: partly cloudy skies, warming up to the mid-80s this afternoon. Expect light breezes, mostly favorable for boating and shoreline casting, and no rain in the forecast according to KSL Weather. The lake itself is way down, sitting around 3,555 feet per the Bureau of Reclamation. With Powell only at about 29% capacity, exposed structure and narrowing channels mean fish are consolidating and a lot of new shoreline is open to explore. No tides here—Powell’s a reservoir—so angler focus should be on water temperature and structure. With reservoir temps still decent in the shallows, morning and evening remain prime times. Fish have been pushing into cooler, oxygen-rich coves and creek arms; don’t ignore those fingers that wind back into the high desert. Recent reports from Lake Powell Daily Fishing say the stripers are still going strong, particularly early morning when they’re chasing bait balls along main channel points. Chumming is working—cut anchovy remains top with strips on a double-hook rig—but trollers are also catching plenty using deep-diving Rat-L-Traps and shad-colored crankbaits. Word from the marinas is anglers are averaging 15-20 stripers per boat in a solid five-hour morning window, some boats reporting even better with seasoned crews. Smallmouth bass continue their summer bite, especially near rocky ledges and submerged structure. Ned rigs in green pumpkin and tubes in smoke or watermelon colors have been getting slammed. Afternoon picks up for bass: after about 4 PM, when shadows hit the water, pitch jigs deep and work crawfish imitators slowly. Typical catch count for smallmouths is 5-12 per angler, with some respectable two-pounders landed near Dangling Rope and up around Bullfrog Bay. Catfish remain steady in the coves and flats, especially those with fresh inflow or muddy bottoms. Best bait is still chicken liver or nightcrawler chunks soaked near drop-offs. Overnight, some shore crews are hauling in blue cats and channel cats—expect a half-dozen fish for a patient evening session. On the bait front, cut anchovy and nightcrawlers are your go-to for stripers and cats; smallmouths prefer soft plastics and the occasional live minnow if you can get it. Spinners and shad imitations are gold for early and late bites. Best lures right now: - Deep-diving crankbaits (shad pattern) - Twin tail grubs or tubes (green pumpkin, watermelon) - Ned rig plastics on light jig heads - Rat-L-Trap style rattlebaits Hot spots this week: - Main channel between Wahweap and Antelope Point: chasing striper schools at first light - Rocky ledges around Bullfrog: smallmouths moving tight to structure, especially afternoons - The backs of Navajo and Warm Creek: cooler water, active catfish and th This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Best lures right now: - Deep-diving crankbaits (shad pattern) - Twin tail grubs or tubes (green pumpkin, watermelon) - Ned rig plastics on light jig heads - Rat-L-Trap style rattlebaits Hot spots this week: - Main channel between Wahweap and Antelope Point: chasing striper schools at first light - Rocky ledges around Bullfrog: smallmouths moving tight to structure, especially afternoons - The backs of Navajo and Warm Creek: cooler water, active catfish and th This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 231 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5899676122 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your September 6th Lake Powell fishing report. First light hit the water at 5:55 am, and we'll see the sunset at 6:56 pm, so we've got over 13 hours of daylight to chase some bends in the rod. The morning kicked off clear, right around 72 degrees, and it’s heating up fast—highs into the upper 80s and low 90s by midday according to CustomWeather. Winds are light, but keep an eye on the sky; KSL Weather out of Utah says we could see a stray afternoon thunderhead swing through, though most storms should clear after sunset. Now, for all you folks new to Powell, we don’t get tides up here—just the rise and fall of water levels. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation reports Lake Powell sitting at about 29% full, so bays and coves that used to be accessible by boat may now be good shoreline spots. Just pay attention to submerged debris and those shallow ramps. Fishing activity has been solid heading into September. Stripers are schooling up around Antelope Point and the main channel points by Padre Bay. Early mornings are your golden hours—watch for surface boils and toss topwater plugs right into the fray. Anglers are reporting double-digit days on striper with silver Kastmasters and shad-imitating swimbaits. Nightcrawlers or fresh anchovy chunks, fished on Carolina rigs, are money if you’re marking schools on your sonar. Bass fishing is heating up as water temps start to cool just a touch overnight. Spotted bass and smallmouth are holding tight to rock piles and drop-offs; try Ned rigs, tube jigs in goby or brown, and wacky-rigged Senkos. The bite is peppiest from sunrise until about 10:00 am, then again in late afternoon as the shade returns to the cliff faces. If you’re after crappie, tie on a small marabou jig and drop it near flooded brush in the backs of coves. Bluegill will take small worms or mealworms under a slip bobber along the docks and marinas—great action for kids. Walleye catches have ticked up, especially downstream around Wahweap and Warm Creek Bay. Troll crawler harnesses chartreuse or fire tiger colors along rocky shelves. The low-light bite before dawn is often your best window. Some of the hottest spots this week: - **Antelope Point:** Early morning surface action for striped bass. - **Padre Bay:** Good numbers of bass and walleye on rocky points and submerged humps. - **Wahweap Marina:** Abundant panfish and the occasional slot-sized largemouth hiding among the docks. No reports of Lake Powell monsters this week, but quite a few fish in the 2–4 pound range have come to the net. Locals are still favoring Gulp! minnows and shad-pattern crankbaits for numbers. A word of caution—wildfire activity in the region is minimal right now, but always check the latest conditions from the National Interagency Fire Center before planning backcountry access. That wraps up today’s report!

The sun’s rising at 6:01 AM and sets at a leisurely 8:42 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to chase after bass, stripers, and more. We’re still riding out the tail of a hot, muggy summer with temperatures touching 89 degrees by afternoon. Winds are light from the northeast at 5mph, humidity’s hovering high, and we’re staring down a UV index of 11—slather on that sunscreen before hitting the water. Overnight lows will dip to the upper 60s, with a slight chance for scattered rain showers as the evening rolls on, though nothing heavy in the immediate forecast according to WeatherBug. The National Weather Service adds a moderate chance of above-normal temps in the coming week, but not much rain for the Southwest. Lake Powell is currently sitting at 29% of capacity—just 44% of our historical early September average, says the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The water’s low but clear on most main channels. Launch ramps remain open, but some coves may be shallower or trickier to access, so keep an eye on your depth finder. The fish have been active in the early mornings and late afternoons, especially with the recent string of warm, stable days. Stripers are feeding aggressively in the upper 30 feet of water, busting shad in main channel cuts and at the mouths of large bays. A couple of local anglers out of Bullfrog pulled in limits of stripers yesterday, hooking 20 to 30 fish per boat, with most stripers in the 2–3 pound range. Smallmouth bass are still biting strong around rocky points, with action best from dawn until about 10 a.m.—after that, the bite slows as temperatures spike. Your best baits have been white or chartreuse swim shads for stripers. A jigging spoon, especially something silver and flashy, is classic right now. For smallmouth, you can’t go wrong with a 4-inch single-tail grub, preferably smoke or watermelon, tipped on a Bitsy Jig—reports from Jordanelle also confirm these baits are hot. If you prefer soft plastics, drop-shot rigs with natural colors are picking up plenty of fish around submerged rock piles. And don’t sleep on live anchovies if you can source them locally; they’re landing some of the bigger stripers each morning. Those chasing largemouth bass should focus on flooded brush near deeper water. Spinnerbaits and soft plastic worms in green pumpkin or black/blue are favorites among Lake Powell regulars. Channel catfish are still biting strong in the evenings on cut shad or nightcrawlers; focus on flats near current inflow or the backs of coves as the sun dips low. For hotspots, try the main channel edges near Good Hope Bay—stripers are corralling shad here daily at first light. Padre Bay’s rocky humps are producing steady smallmouth action, and don’t overlook the shallow coves just north of Bullfrog for a mixed bag, especially as baitfish push up in the cool of the evening.

Water levels remain noticeably low—well under 60% capacity, as reported by Coyote Gulch—with inflows still dragging behind normal for the year. The drought and sluggish monsoon have left the lake thirsty, and the back bays show it, so fish activity lives and dies by the hour. Sunrise crept in at about 6:55 a.m., and sunset will light up the slickrock one last time at 7:56 p.m., according to Time and Date. We're just sliding into September, and as fall edges closer, anglers cherish early mornings and the fading twilight. There's no true tide here in this vast reservoir, but those pre-dawn and dusk windows are when the big ones feed best, especially in this heat. Labor Day weekend saw heavy boat traffic, with over 1,400 craft inspected for invasive species just at Lake Powell, according to Utah Department of Natural Resources. So, some areas may be churned up, but the fishing’s still lively once the crowds thin. Striped bass bite remains solid, especially along the walls near Bullfrog Basin and the channel edges around Wahweap. Shad schools are still on the move—watch for boils on the surface. Recent reports put stripers in the 2–4 pound range, with some anglers boating upward of 15 fish per morning if you’re in the right spot. Downrigging’s hot, but the real magic comes from tossing white or chartreuse soft swimbaits and running Kastmaster spoons through the schools at 30–60 feet deep. Trolling with J-7 chart Rapalas also hooked plenty; chrome/green Flatfish lures can get big strikes from bottom-huggers. Smallmouth bass and largemouth are active along rocky structure, especially early and late. Plastics—drop-shot rigs with 3" watermelon worms or green-pumpkin tubes—work best along brushy ledges and submerged boulders. Crankbaits in shad patterns pick up bonus bites in the coves when bass chase after baitfish. Catfish (channel and the odd blue) are showing up in the warmer shallows at dusk; stinkbait and fresh cut shad do the trick for whiskerfish. Crappie are in the mix near submerged timber, but numbers thin in late summer. Panfish hunters found some luck near Halls Crossing using small curly tail grubs and jigs tipped with crawler. Carp are visible in the shallows—fun for bowfishing if you're up for it. For hotspots, head to: - **Bullfrog Bay and the points around Stanton Creek**: Classic striper territory, with deep water nearby and plenty of structure. - **Warm Creek Bay and the mouth of Navajo Canyon**: Bass and walleye haunt the drop-offs, and boils attract stripers at first light. - **Wahweap Marina and Lone Rock Beach**: Good access for shore anglers and night catfishing.

The dog days of summer may be nearing their close, but there’s still plenty of heat left on the water—both above and below the surface. Lake Powell woke up to clear skies and a soft glow just before 6:50 am, with sunrise peeking over the red rocks and another beautifully long day stretched until sunset around 8:07 pm. We’re seeing daytime highs hovering near 95°F, with humidity around 43 percent and just a hint of breeze, keeping the water flat and ideal for sight-casting around cover. Barometric pressure reads steady at 29.97 inches, and visibility is excellent out on the main channel—perfect for chasing active fish, especially early and late in the day, when boat traffic drops off. According to WeatherWorld, conditions are sunny and cooling a bit after a hot stretch, so fish are seeking shade and structure mid-day. There’s no tidal movement here, but water levels remain lower than average, which means many of the side canyons are shallow and the fish are stacked tighter in deeper pockets and at the edges of submerged brush. As always, watch for snakes on the shoreline; the local Great Basin gopher snakes and even a few rattlers like to sun themselves, especially near rock outcroppings, as reported by World Atlas. The big news this week is the stripers—Lake Powell’s signature draw. Stripers have been feeding consistently around the Navajo Canyon and at the dam, responding well to cut anchovy baits dropped down 30 to 50 feet, especially during the early morning rush and the evening cool-down. According to the Lake Powell Utah Fishing Report Daily podcast, anglers have been boating easy limits, with many reporting 15 to 30 fish mornings from schools corralling shad against the cliff faces. Bass action has ticked up in the shallows, where smallmouth are hammering Ned rigs and green-pumpkin tubes bounced along rocky points. Reports from the bigfishtackle.com forum say largemouth are biting, too, but they’re buried deep in cover—try casting Texas-rigged creature baits right at flooded timber in Wahweap and Warm Creek. Catfish have been especially good in the backs of coves around Bullfrog Marina and Stanton Creek. Toss some stink bait or chicken liver on a slip sinker rig and let it settle on the mud bottom—you’ll pull up healthy channel cats in the 3–7 lb range, especially once the sun goes down. Some folks have had a blast with bluegill and sunfish using small jigs tipped with worm under bobbers along rocky edges—perfect for kids or ultralight anglers. If you’re fly fishing, the trout action is slow this time of year, but bluegill will smash dry flies and poppers early and late if you seek out calm water off rocky ledges. As for top lures this week, hard to beat a chrome and blue Rat-L-Trap or a white swimbait for stripers, while soft plastics in natural patterns are king for bass.

Sunrise hit at 5:34 a.m. and we’ll fish daylight right through sunset at 7:29 p.m. Temps are warm: expect highs near 93°F and lows in the mid-60s, so pack plenty of water and sunscreen. Water conditions are seasonally stable, with calm mornings perfect for topwater action. Remember, Lake Powell doesn’t have significant tides, but fish activity is shaped more by weather and temperature swings. Morning bites are hot. According to the Lake Powell, Utah Daily Fishing Report, stripers are on the move and hungry—especially in the early hours when the main basin is like glass. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits or running anchovy chunks is hooking linesiders in good numbers. Try casting around the dam and Wahweap Bay for fast action; schools are chasing shad, so matching baitfish patterns is key. Smallmouth bass are holding strong on rocky points and submerged ledges. Anglers pulling Ned rigs and small tubes in green-pumpkin or smoke colors had solid limits just north of Antelope Canyon and around Warm Creek. During midday heat, bass slip deeper, so drop-shot rigs with gulp-style minnows worked right on the bottom will get the hits. Panfish—bluegill and crappie—are still active in brushy coves and under floating marinas, especially if you toss small jigs or mealworms under a slip bobber. It’s a great way to keep kids entertained while you wait out the afternoon lull. Catfish are prowling muddy bottoms near inflows, with big channels and even a few flatheads hitting chicken liver and nightcrawlers after sunset. The back of Bullfrog Bay and Stanton Creek are always steady producers, especially as evening cools the surface. Recent reports mention plenty of mixed bags coming in: - Striped bass limits in the southern arms, some up to 5 pounds. - Smallmouth bass averaging 1-2 pounds on rocky structure. - Panfish up to hand-sized caught around protected pockets. - Overnight catfish up to 6 pounds landed in sandy shallows near campgrounds. For best lure choices, pack: - Silver or shad-patterned trolling lures for stripers - Soft plastics (Ned rigs, swimbaits, tubes) for bass - Chartreuse or white crappie jigs for panfish - Standard chicken liver, anchovy chunks, or stink bait for catfish If you’re looking for hot spots, hit Warm Creek early—stripers and smallies both hunt here at first light. Bullfrog Marina remains a consistent multi-species producer, especially around docks and the nearby points. Don’t overlook backwater sloughs at Navajo Canyon for panfish and shallows near Hite for big cats after dark. With August water levels still low and stable per the Bureau of Reclamation, boat access is dependable, but always check for launch advisories. Remember to hydrate, respect the heat, and leave no trace in these beautiful canyons. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s Lake Powell fishing update.

A beautiful sunrise lit the red cliffs at 6:40 a.m. this morning, and anglers are set for a sunset around 7:58 p.m. The weather has shaped up perfectly for late-August fishing, with daytime highs reaching the upper 80s and lows dipping to the low 60s. Expect mostly clear skies and minimal chance of rain, so get ready for classic desert lake conditions—just remember it’ll be hot on the water by midday, so pack extra water and sunblock. There’s no tidal swing in Lake Powell since it’s a reservoir, but recent monsoonal storms early this week triggered five flash flood warnings in the area and stirred up some of the backs of canyons. These rain events refreshed a few coves but left some muddy water—so target clearer water for best results. Water levels are low but stable, which has concentrated fish around structure and deeper drop-offs. The National Park Service notes boat launches remain open at Wahweap, Bullfrog, and Antelope Point, but keep a sharp eye: some spots do require careful navigation around shallow shelves. Fishing pressure has eased up lately due to a dip in tourism and record heat earlier in the summer, making for quieter coves and less boat traffic. Local guides report that summer heat put a damper on numbers in July, but fishing action has rebounded as water temps start their gradual decline. Striped bass are hot right now. Live shad schools have pulled stripers into deeper water—look for boils and surface activity in the early morning along the main channel between Lone Rock and Warm Creek Bay. Anglers have been hauling in striped bass in impressive numbers, many ranging one to three pounds, with occasional lunkers pushing past five. Best results? Spoon jigs—like silver Kastmasters or Hopkins Shorties—dropped to 30-60 feet, or trolled deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns will do the trick. Cut anchovy remains the old faithful for bait anglers, especially near the dam and along steep cliffs in the mid-lake region. Smallmouth bass are hugging rocky points and submerged ledges. Drop-shot rigs with four-inch green pumpkin worms and curly tail grubs have been the top producers. Try a finesse jig with a craw trailer around brush piles and shaded cliff walls—late afternoon into dusk is prime time as bass move up to feed. Walleye are still biting in the early mornings—target transition zones near the mouths of canyons. Slow-trolling nightcrawler harnesses or casting jigging spoons are yielding fair numbers, especially near Halls Creek Bay. Catfish are cruising the shallows near sandy beaches in the evenings. Stink bait and chicken liver have landed channel cats up to 8 pounds this week according to local reports. For panfish, especially bluegill and sunfish, grab a bobber and worm and fish near the marina docks—they’re feisty and plentiful, great fun for kids.

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 07:49:19 -0000 full Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure, bringing you the latest local scoop from Lake Powell, Utah, as we roll into Friday, August 29th, 2025. A beautiful sunrise lit the red cliffs at 6:40 a.m. this morning, and anglers are set for a sunset around 7:58 p.m. The weather has shaped up perfectly for late-August fishing, with daytime highs reaching the upper 80s and lows dipping to the low 60s. Expect mostly clear skies and minimal chance of rain, so get ready for classic desert lake conditions—just remember it’ll be hot on the water by midday, so pack extra water and sunblock. There’s no tidal swing in Lake Powell since it’s a reservoir, but recent monsoonal storms early this week triggered five flash flood warnings in the area and stirred up some of the backs of canyons. These rain events refreshed a few coves but left some muddy water—so target clearer water for best results. Water levels are low but stable, which has concentrated fish around structure and deeper drop-offs. The National Park Service notes boat launches remain open at Wahweap, Bullfrog, and Antelope Point, but keep a sharp eye: some spots do require careful navigation around shallow shelves. Fishing pressure has eased up lately due to a dip in tourism and record heat earlier in the summer, making for quieter coves and less boat traffic. Local guides report that summer heat put a damper on numbers in July, but fishing action has rebounded as water temps start their gradual decline. Striped bass are hot right now. Live shad schools have pulled stripers into deeper water—look for boils and surface activity in the early morning along the main channel between Lone Rock and Warm Creek Bay. Anglers have been hauling in striped bass in impressive numbers, many ranging one to three pounds, with occasional lunkers pushing past five. Best results? Spoon jigs—like silver Kastmasters or Hopkins Shorties—dropped to 30-60 feet, or trolled deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns will do the trick. Cut anchovy remains the old faithful for bait anglers, especially near the dam and along steep cliffs in the mid-lake region. Smallmouth bass are hugging rocky points and submerged ledges. Drop-shot rigs with four-inch green pumpkin worms and curly tail grubs have been the top producers.

First light clipped the horizon at 6:32 AM, with sunset scheduled for 7:59 PM, offering anglers a solid window to take advantage of prime morning bite. Weather is warm and dry as NOAA anticipated—expect highs in the low 90s and light southwest breezes on the water. The drought continues to hold water levels well below average, with Lake Powell standing about 48 feet above minimum power pool. The reservoir’s 75% fullness is keeping launch ramps operational but shorelines look stark, so plan extra time to get off the lake as levels shift. No tidal movement here—it’s a reservoir—but levels have been dropping steadily since July[10]. With the persistent drought and a lackluster monsoon, lake temps have hovered near seasonal highs, pushing fish deeper and into coves or faster moving water when available. This week, action on *striped bass* and *smallmouth bass* continues to lead the pack. Stripers are most active at dawn, herding shad into rocky pockets and deeper washes—bait balls are visible by echo sounder near the mouth of Navajo Canyon and up by the dam. Smallmouth are still biting best on chunk rock points, especially around Antelope and Warm Creek bays. Midday, they’re tight to cover, but as the sun warms up, they move into shallow, faster riffled areas—so don’t skip the shorelines when skies are clear and the wind picks up[4]. Recent catches have been solid: Stripers running up to six pounds landed on swim baits and anchovy chunks; smallmouth bass in the 1-2 pound range coming up on soft plastic tubes and Ned rigs. Catfish were caught after sunset on cut bait near Wahweap Marina. There’s been a scattering of walleye, but numbers are low—most turning up deep trolling. Top baits: For stripers, fresh anchovy is king—rig half an anchovy on a Carolina rig for the deepest cuts, or cast a shad-style swimbait into boils at daybreak. Jerkbaits in white or chartreuse also drew hits near the dam. Smallies are slamming green pumpkin tubes and finesse worms on 1/8 oz jigheads; don’t shy away from crayfish imitations. For catfish, stick with stink bait or chicken liver. Hot spots to try today: - **Navajo Canyon:** Stripers are crashing schools at sun-up—get there early, watch for boils, cast fast. - **Antelope Bay:** Smallmouth concentrated on rock drop-offs and flooded timber, especially around midday. - **Warm Creek:** Bass and the occasional walleye found in 15–30 feet near structure. Water clarity is mixed; expect stained conditions after boat traffic near marinas and clearer water up-lake. With dwindling inflows and plenty of boaters, steer clear of crowded ramps later in the day. From local marina reports and shore anglers alike, the bite is best from first light until about 10 AM, then after 7 PM as fish come up again to chase bait in the cooling evening surface. Before you hit the water, double-check safety—conditions can change quickly in low water. H This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

This is Artificial Lure bringing you the latest fishing conditions and hot spots for August 24, 2025. Sunrise hit at 5:34 a.m., with sunset coming at 7:29 p.m. The day's shaping up mostly sunny and warm—expect highs around 95°F, dipping to 73°F overnight. A few afternoon thunderstorms are forecast, mainly scattered and brief, with south-southwest winds staying mostly light but gusting up to 20 mph if a storm drifts in, according to Weather Trends 360. Humidity is moderate at 35%, and the UV index is 5—definitely pack sun protection and keep an eye on the sky for cells building in midday. No tidal action to report for Lake Powell, just those big sky desert vibes. The bite this week continues to run best early, before the heat and wind kick up. According to the Lake Powell, Utah Fishing Report Daily, the striper and bass action has been hot at first light and just before dark, cooling off as the sun climbs. Stripers are schooling along the main channels and deep points—anglers reporting topwater boils right at dawn, especially in the backs of Padre Bay and up near Warm Creek. Targeting stripers? Use topwater plugs early (Zara Spooks, Super Spooks, or classic Pencil Poppers), then switch to white or chartreuse swimbaits, spoons, or trolling deep-divers mid-morning. Bait anglers are doing well with anchovies and shad—cut bait rigged on drop shots at 35 to 50 feet is putting fish in the boat. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are holding near rocky structure and brush lines—Navajo and Antelope Canyons continue to see steady action. Ned rigs and drop shot plastics in green pumpkin or motor oil work wonders around the rocks, with spinnerbaits effective on the windy banks. As the sun rises higher, focus on shaded walls and under the ledges; midday slowdown is real, so slow down presentations and pick apart the cover. Panfish—bluegill and crappie—remain active in the coves with submerged brush. Use small jigs tipped with worm or gulp minnows. Fly anglers are nabbing bass and bluegill on poppers and buggers with a 5wt, as noted in fly fishing community chatter. This week’s catches: - Limits of stripers coming in out of Bullfrog and Wahweap, with several anglers reporting 20+ fish mornings using cut anchovy. - Bass up to 4 pounds caught in the coves above Padre Bay and Last Chance, drop shot and Ned rig bite strong. - Bluegill and crappie hanging thick in the brush-piled pockets, with plenty of numbers for the kids. Prime hot spots: - **Warm Creek Bay:** Early boils, reliable striper schools. - **Padre Bay and Lone Rock:** Bass and panfish steady on plastics and small jigs. Fire updates: The area is under fire prevention advisories from the National Interagency Fire Center. Remember to check local restrictions if you're camping—keep those campfires dead out and be vigilant with any gear that could spark. As we love to say around here, play the weather, watch for surface action at dawn and dusk, and match your gear This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Summer’s roasting out here in southern Utah, with today’s forecast calling for sunny skies, just a slight breeze early, and highs around 103 degrees by afternoon according to the National Weather Service. Overnight, you’ll see lows cooling off to the lower 70s. Winds will clock in from the southwest, running 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. We’ve had a stretch of hot, dry conditions and drought, and the lake’s levels are low but holding steady—so plan to fish early or late for your best action. Sunrise was at 6:36 a.m., and sunset will be at 8:09 p.m. There’s no tidal swing on Lake Powell because she’s a freshwater impoundment, but the heat and drought have dropped reservoirs across Utah, pinching fish into deeper holes and concentrating action near structure. While wildfires have raged in other parts of the West, no active smoke issues are reported for the Powell area, so conditions on the water are clear. The fishing itself has been downright lively, especially at dawn. Anglers on the main channel, especially near Antelope Point and up around Bullfrog, are hooking into plenty of striped bass and smallmouth bass. On a recent outing posted by local fisherman j.swizzz, anglers scored well using Chatterbaits and War Eagle spinners, pulling in healthy smallies and a few bonus largemouths around submerged rock piles and points. Those chasing stripers have been reporting nice numbers on cut bait around the dam and deeper bays early, with some boats bagging dozens when the boils are up. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits, swimbaits, and spoons like the classic Kastmaster in silver and blue is the ticket as the sun gets up and the schools move deeper. If you’re after numbers, fill a bucket with anchovies and dunk bait near the main lake humps and canyon mouths—stripers are piling up at 40-60 feet right now, and the cut anchovy bite is about as steady as it gets. For bass, the keys are shade, depth, and motion. Chatterbaits, War Eagle spinnerbaits, and Ned rigs are hot, especially when fished slow along chunk rock and ledges in 15 to 30 feet. Early on, topwater lures like walking baits and poppers can get explosive hits along points and submerged brush. If you spot shad flickering, toss a white or shad-patterned soft jerkbait or crank—the bass won’t be far behind. Crappie have slowed with the heat, but a few slabs are showing up for folks tight-lining small jigs tipped with chartreuse or white grubs under floating docks and in brushy coves, especially north toward Good Hope Bay. Catfish bite is good after sunset—cut bait or chicken liver near sandy flats and mudlines is your best strategy after dark. For today’s “hot spots”, check out the mouth of Navajo Canyon at first light for a mixed bag of stripers and smallmouth, and the submerged humps east of Antelope Point for schoolie stripers as the morning wears on.

We’re off to another classic late-summer morning here at Lake Powell, Utah. The sun rose right at 6:33 am and we’ll have light until sunset at 8:10 pm, giving you plenty of time to work the water. Conditions today are mostly sunny, with temps already ticking up—highs peaking near 98°F and lows tonight dipping to around 67°F, according to Utah’s Canyon Country weather. No storms on the horizon, but the heat is on and surface temps are hovering in the low 80s. Lake Powell doesn’t have tides to track—just water levels, and right now the lake remains low as expected in late summer, echoing the trend mentioned this week by Coyote Gulch about ongoing drought and low inflow. Water clarity is good in the main channel and even better up in the canyons; just beware of sudden afternoon canyon winds if you’re on a skiff. On the fishing front, the bite has picked up the past few days. Anglers are reporting steady catches of *striped bass* and *smallmouth bass*, with stripers schooling up off deeper ledges around Antelope Point and Warm Creek. Multiple boats brought in double-digit striper counts yesterday, many in the 2–4 pound range, pulled up on spoons and cut bait. Smallmouth bass are chasing shad in the backs of coves, especially early and late. Folks tossing 3-inch shad-pattern swimbaits, Ned rigs, and chatterbaits are hooking up steadily—especially in the shade line along rocky points, a classic Powell summer play. A handful of largemouth bass have been picked up flipping Texas rigs in brush piles and tumbleweed mats on the southern lake. For those hunting *walleye*, a worm harness or bottom-bouncer tipped with a nightcrawler fished slow along drop-offs in Navajo and Last Chance has put a few good eaters in the box for early risers. Catfish are prowling after sunset—stinkbaits and chicken livers set off the rocky banks around Bullfrog have produced a handful of chunky channel cats this week. If you’re focused on what’s working best: - For stripers, drop chrome or white spoons to 35–60 feet, or slow-troll deep-diving crankbaits. - For bass, go with soft plastics in green pumpkin and shad, or throw topwater lures like a Spook at first light—especially if you spot shad busting on the surface. - Bait anglers chunking anchovies continue to fill coolers with stripers anywhere from Glen Canyon Dam up to Padre Bay. If you’re looking for hot spots, make sure to try: - **Wahweap Bay:** Still holding a ton of shad and active stripers. The mouths of small coves are producing all day. - **Moki Wall**: A reliable August producer for both smallmouth and stripers, especially along the vertical structure. - **The Narrows**: Late-afternoon action for cruising walleye and some quality smallmouth, especially near submerged structure.

The sun rose this morning at 6:28 a.m. and sets tonight at 8:08 p.m., painting the red rock canyons with that classic golden hue. We’ve got a solid August forecast: sunny skies, highs near **99°F**, with just a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Winds will be from the southwest at 5 to 8 mph, so boaters can expect calm water in most canyons, but keep an eye out for sudden gusts if those storms roll in. The water level is a big talking point right now. According to the Bureau of Reclamation’s August update, Powell is hovering around **3,538 feet**, nearly its lowest point in three years. Reservoir levels are dropping fast due to poor snowpack and extended drought. You’ll notice wider “bathtub rings” on the cliffs and exposed sediment, which can be tricky for launching boats—best to use main ramps like Stateline or Wahweap these days for safe access. As for fish activity, faltering inflows haven’t stopped the action. Bass and striper anglers are reporting good numbers—smallmouths are especially active on rocky points in the early hours before the sun gets high. Late summer means the stripers are moving deeper; look for schools suspended in cool water, 60 to 100 feet down off Antelope Island and the dam. In the past week, folks have been landing healthy mixed bags: - **Smallmouth bass:** averaging 1–2 pounds, with some up to 3 near rocky structure off Warm Creek and Lone Rock. - **Striped bass:** solid runs have come on anchovy chunks or locally recommended castable jigs tipped with white curly tails. - **Catfish:** active on cut bait near mud flats after dusk—some 2–5 pounders reported. - A few **walleye** came in overnight, mostly shallow, hitting worm harnesses near Bullfrog. Top lures this week are: - **Ned rigs** and **drop shot setups** for bass, worked along shaded cliff faces. - **White shad swimbaits** and **spoons** jigged vertically for stripers—especially with sonar to spot schools. - For bait, **anchovy chunks** are still king for stripers, while **nightcrawlers** and cut baits get catfish biting. A couple anglers swapped anchovy for hotdogs, but the consensus is hotdogs just aren't doing the trick around here, stick with the classics. Hot spots today: - **Wahweap Bay**—early morning for bass on plastic worms, plus steady striper action at depth. - **Antelope Canyon**—big striper schools and the chance for a catfish after sundown. - **Bullfrog Area**—good mixed species, especially at dusk, and reliable access even as water drops. There’s a little more traffic on the lake with the August heat, but fishing remains excellent if you adapt to lower water and keep an eye on the weather. Drop your rig early or after sunset for best results, and don’t be shy with the fish finder—stripers are schooling tight. Thanks for tuning in to today’s Lake Powell report.

The water level is a big talking point right now. According to the Bureau of Reclamation’s August update, Powell is hovering around **3,538 feet**, nearly its lowest point in three years. Reservoir levels are dropping fast due to poor snowpack and extended drought. You’ll notice wider “bathtub rings” on the cliffs and exposed sediment, which can be tricky for launching boats—best to use main ramps like Stateline or Wahweap these days for safe access. As for fish activity, faltering inflows haven’t stopped the action. Bass and striper anglers are reporting good numbers—smallmouths are especially active on rocky points in the early hours before the sun gets high. Late summer means the stripers are moving deeper; look for schools suspended in cool water, 60 to 100 feet down off Antelope Island and the dam. In the past week, folks have been landing healthy mixed bags: - **Smallmouth bass:** averaging 1–2 pounds, with some up to 3 near rocky structure off Warm Creek and Lone Rock. - **Striped bass:** solid runs have come on anchovy chunks or locally recommended castable jigs tipped with white curly tails. - **Catfish:** active on cut bait near mud flats after dusk—some 2–5 pounders reported. - A few **walleye** came in overnight, mostly shallow, hitting worm harnesses near Bullfrog. Top lures this week are: - **Ned rigs** and **drop shot setups** for bass, worked along shaded cliff faces. - **White shad swimbaits** and **spoons** jigged vertically for stripers—especially with sonar to spot schools. - For bait, **anchovy chunks** are still king for stripers, while **nightcrawlers** and cut baits get catfish biting. A couple anglers swapped anchovy for hotdogs, but the consensus is hotdogs just aren't doing the trick around here, stick with the classics. Hot spots today: - **Wahweap Bay**—early morning for bass on plastic worms, plus steady striper action at depth. - **Antelope Canyon**—big striper schools and the chance for a catfish after sundown. - **Bullfrog Area**—good mixed species, especially at dusk, and reliable access even as water drops. There’s a little more traffic on the lake with the August heat, but fishing remains excellent if you adapt to lower water and keep an eye on the weather. Drop your rig early or after sunset for best results, and don’t be shy with the fish finder—stripers are schooling tight. Thanks for tuning in to today’s Lake Powell report.

Sunrise came at 6:32 a.m. this morning and we’ll have daylight until just about 8:16 p.m. Weather is classic late August up here—skies are partly cloudy, temps climbing into the low 90s by midday, and just a whisper of monsoon moisture lingering from yesterday, but for today it looks dry, hot, and sunny for most of the region according to KSL Weather. Now, let’s get to what everyone’s waiting for—the fishing. Conditions on the lake are changing fast. Water levels have dropped to their lowest point in three years, and that’s meant a few boat ramps closed and some rocky areas exposed, so make sure you’re launching where it’s open and safe, and go easy running through those shallows, especially up-lake. AOL News and other outlets are reporting on these low water conditions, so keep your ears open for local updates and potential closures. But don’t let that stop ya! The bite is hot. Stripers, smallmouth, and channel cats are all showing strong. The Lake Powell, Utah Daily Fishing Report podcast said just yesterday that stripers and smallmouth bass were biting particularly well, even with the dropping water. Early morning and evening have been best, and midday shade is vital, especially if you’re targeting those bass. Some panfish—like bluegill and crappie—are active as well, mostly tighter to brush and rock structure near deeper water. Latest word from the docks and guides: - Stripers are schooling up in the deeper channels off Wahweap and the main channel points near Antelope and Navajo Canyons. Anchovy chunks are still the go-to for bait fishermen, but trollers are picking up good numbers on deep-diving cranks and leadcore line with swimbaits. - Smallmouth bass are stacked on rocky points and shaded ledges. Topwater poppers at dawn are getting some explosive hits, but your best luck is coming on drop-shot rigs with 3” shad-style plastics or classic green pumpkin tubes. - Folks bouncing live or cut bait in 30–50 feet have landed some nice channel cats, especially overnight and very early in the morning. Hot lures this week have been the flutter spoon for big bass and stripers. Word from Table Rock Lake anglers on TikTok says the big flutter spoon is one of the most reliable baits for late summer bass—and it’s proving true here, too. For bait, fresh-cut anchovy or shad are still king for stripers. If you’re after panfish in the coves, live worms and small jigs are hard to beat. Top hotspots right now: - The main lake points off Wahweap Bay—early mornings have been insane for striper boils and casting poppers. - Navajo Canyon mouth—smallmouth have been all over the ledges in 10–20 ft, especially where you can find a touch of shade. No tides to report here on Lake Powell—just pay attention to the wind forecast and heat. With the drought and dropping water, keep your coolers full, your bimini tops up, and practice good fish handling—release those big spa This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise crept over the red cliffs at about 6:27 a.m., with sunset set for 8:09 p.m. today. Weather’s a typical August scorcher: the morning kicked off at 74°F and is climbing fast; you can count on highs near 93°F, mostly cloudy with only a whisper of breeze, so keep that sunscreen close at hand. No tidal movement here, just fluctuating water levels—the big news is that Lake Powell’s dropped again, holding just above 3,552 feet. That’s real shallow, so boaters need to keep eyes peeled for ramp closures; Wahweap Main Launch goes inoperable Monday. If you’re trailering, Rainbow Bridge, Antelope Point, and Bullfrog North ramps are your best bets, especially now that crews are shifting docks to deeper water according to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area announcements. Fishing’s been lively, especially at first light before the sun bakes the coves; according to yesterday’s Lake Powell Fishing Report podcast, stripers, smallmouth, and channel cats are hanging tough. Striper bite is best around the dam and at the main channel drop-offs—anglers pulling in stringers of 6 to 10 fish using trolled deep-diving crankbaits, chartreuse spoons, and anchovy cut bait. Stripers are feeding strong early and late, so plan your sessions around those low-light windows. Smallmouth bass are still the star for the light-tackle folks, especially up towards Bullfrog Bay and the rocky pockets off Padre Bay. Reported catches are solid—multiple bags of 10 to 20 fish a morning, most in the 1.5 to 2-pound range, though a couple of lucky locals weighed 3-pounders this week. Ned rigs, green pumpkin tubes, and soft swim baits mimic the crayfish and minnows perfectly; glide baits get attention if you put in the time and add a twitch or pause. Catfish action is steady near Halls Crossing and Stanton Creek, with chicken liver and stink bait getting bites off points in the evening. Some groups landed up to eight cats a night, most in the 2-5 pound class. Bluegill and sunfish provide reliable action for the kids on the docks with mealworms or a bit of nightcrawler. With the heat and water levels, algae blooms remain a risk elsewhere in Utah, but Powell’s main channel is clear for now. Always discard fish guts and skin to be safe, especially in warm weather. Bait and lure picks for today: - For stripers: anchovy chunks, chartreuse spoons, deep-diving Rapalas. - For smallmouth: Ned rigs, tubes in green pumpkin or watermelon, small swimbaits. - For catfish: chicken liver, commercial stink bait. - For panfish: nightcrawlers, mealworms. Hot spots to hit: - The Dam Wall and Buoy Line for stripers, especially at daybreak. - Bullfrog Bay rocky ledges for smallmouth. - Halls Crossing and Stanton Creek for night catfishing. Boat ramp alert: Wahweap Main Launch closes Monday; stick to Rainbow Bridge, Bullfrog North, or Antelope Point ramps for safe launch.

Here’s the scoop you need to know to make the most of your day out on the water. Today, Lake Powell woke to a sunrise at 5:34 am, with lines already hitting the water before the sun crested the red cliffs. The forecast: clear skies and heat—the mercury’s pushing toward 102°F this afternoon under a blazing Arizona sun. It’ll cool off to around 70 after sunset at 7:29 pm. Expect plenty of sunlight and just enough breeze in the narrows to keep things lively. Afternoon thunderstorms are always possible this time of year, though today’s likely to stay dry, according to KSL’s latest weather update. If you’re planning to launch at Wahweap, keep in mind the Main Launch Ramp is going to be inoperable starting August 18th, so plan ahead if you’re staying several days. With the water still lingering at low levels, some back bays are more exposed than usual—often a bonus for anglers who know how to work the structure. According to the National Park Service, these conditions have concentrated fish in deeper, cooler pockets during the heat of the day. Early risers found biting was best right around first light. Stripers were actively chasing shad schools in the main channel, especially near the mouth of Navajo Canyon and Antelope Point. Surface boils popped up just after dawn—chrome casting spoons and white bucktail jigs worked wonders. Several boats limited out on two- to four-pound stripers before 8 am, a great sign of hot late-summer action. Smallmouth bass were aggressive around rocky points and bluff walls, favoring topwater poppers and shad-pattern jerkbaits during the low light hours. As the sun climbed, soft plastics like green pumpkin tubes or drop-shots rigged with 4-inch worms brought steady bites off submerged ledges and around houseboat moorings. Some anglers targeting largemouth bass found success in the flooded brush and coves along Padre Bay; try working a wacky-rigged senko or slow-rolling a spinnerbait tight to the cover. If you’re after catfish for the skillet, set up around the backs of mud bays with stink bait or chicken livers—night fishing has been producing some fat channel cats, especially around Lone Rock. Fishing off the bank? Focus efforts near the marina riprap and shaded spots. Just be aware of low water making some shoreline approaches tricky. Electronics help, but old-school patience pays dividends—stripers and walleye are holding deeper during mid-day, 30 to 50 feet, so vertical jigging with chartreuse or white spoons is a smart bet. Top baits this week: For stripers, you can’t beat live anchovy chunks where allowed, with trolled Rapalas in shad finish a close second. For bass, topwater lures at dawn and dusk are the ticket, with soft plastics and jigs cleaning up as the sun climbs. Catfish fans should stick with traditional baits—stink bait, chicken liver, or cut bait right on the bottom.

Sunrise hit at 6:34 a.m., casting the first gold over Wahweap and Antelope Point, while sunset will drop in tonight around 8:11 p.m. Today’s forecast calls for clear skies and a high pushing 95°F before afternoon gusts ebb in, with humidity low and the promise of sunburn running strong as usual. According to NOAA, there haven’t been significant storms for weeks. The water level is holding, but the Bureau of Reclamation reports the lake may be dipping toward critical elevation by month’s end—so stay tuned if you’re planning a houseboat trip. Tides don’t factor here, but wind and heat have made a real difference in fish activity. Those mornings just before dawn are magic. Striped bass are running strong in the open water around the dam and into the main channel. Anglers have reported schools busting shad on the surface—so bring your topwater lures. Just yesterday, a group pulled in over thirty stripers in under two hours on anchovy chunks, with most between 2–4 pounds. More reports from the Wahweap launch say the bite picks up best around deep drop-offs, especially early morning and again after dusk when the water cools. Smallmouth bass are thick along rocky shorelines and points, especially in Navajo Canyon and Lone Rock. Folks are picking up good numbers right against the rocks using chartreuse curly tail jigs and shad-colored crankbaits. Ned rigs and drop shots with green pumpkin plastics have been the stand-by for those wanting a steady strike. Catfish are still lurking in shallows and coves at night—chicken liver or stink bait will do the trick. The average channel cat is running a solid 3–5 pounds, with the occasional monster reported near Stanton Creek. Be patient, fish quiet, and let the scent drift. Walleye remain spotty but catchable, mostly deeper than 20 feet. The best action has come drifting bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawler harnesses. A local guide mentioned Cedar Canyon as this week’s sleeper hit—a couple of boats landed five keepers there in under three hours using gold blade spinners. Recent catches logged by visitors include: - Over 300 striped bass (mainly 2–4 pounds) around the dam and deeper canyons - Smallmouth bass limits filled in less than two hours at Lone Rock and Navajo Canyon - Catfish up to 10 pounds in shallow coves at dusk - Walleye scattered and mostly nocturnal—best on deep structure With surface temps hovering around 76–78°F, the shad are active, and the predator bite is hot. For stripers: toss KastMasters, Rat-L-Traps, and soft plastic jerkbaits—silver/blue is the top pick. Best bait remains cut anchovy and shad. For smallmouth and largemouth bass, try Yamamoto Senkos, white spinnerbaits, and tube jigs. Catfish are classic: use liver or stink. If you’re after walleye, gold or chartreuse crawler harnesses are the ticket.

It’s a crisp, clear morning around the lake—sunrise hit at 6:36 AM and we’re looking at sunset tonight just after 8:08 PM, giving us a generous window for casting lines and chasing fish. Weatherwise, there’s a cool north breeze today, thanks to a late-season cold front, but it’s still summer-hot by midday: expect highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, and keep an eye out for gusty winds, especially midday and into the afternoon, as reported by KSL Weather. No rain in the forecast, and the drought trend continues, so work those shaded coves and deeper ledges where fish find some comfort. Now, let’s talk water: Lake Powell’s levels are historically low this summer, a symptom of ongoing drought, but there’s still plenty of liquid real estate for hungry fish. Water clarity is decent on the main lake, a touch stained up the canyons. Recent catches have been dominated by smallmouth and largemouth bass—with the local “Lake Powell, Utah Daily Fishing Report” podcast confirming solid numbers all week. Striped bass are still going wild: anglers trolling the main channels have reported strong action at dawn and late evening, with multiple anglers boating over a dozen schoolies each outing. The size mixed from 1-pounders up to several healthy 5-6 pound fish, with the occasional brute pushing 10 pounds caught off deeper shelves. Smallmouths are in their element, especially around rocky points and submerged humps. Most boats are bringing in limits, and several locals have verified consistent 2 to 3-pound class fish, with some even heavier. Largemouths are showing up more now, especially deeper in brush pockets—grab those flipping sticks! Rainbow trout action’s been quieter, but a few persistent folks working deep, cooler water just above the dam have brought up some good-sized bows. No fresh reports of good walleye or catfish bites this week, but hybrid sunfish and bluegill are eager around submerged structure in the southern bays. Let’s get into lures and bait. The best lures right now are soft plastic tubes and ned rigs in green pumpkin or smoke fleck for bass—dragged slow on the bottom, especially as the day heats up. Jig heads with nightcrawlers are a standby for everything from walleye to smallies, as demonstrated by the pros on YouTube. Trollers are having luck with shad-pattern deep diving plugs, as well as chrome and blue jerkbaits in the early hours. For stripers, vertical jigging spoons and cut anchovy remain king—just follow the birds and watch your electronics for those massive schools. If you’re shore-bound, try small spinnerbaits at dawn or dusk. Hot spots this week include Navajo Canyon—bass and stripers have both been on the chew near the mouth and a mile in. The steep walls there hold shade and stacks of bait. Another can’t-miss area is the mouth of Antelope Canyon, especially for topwater action early and late; bass are nailing walking baits near boulder This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The steep walls there hold shade and stacks of bait. Another can’t-miss area is the mouth of Antelope Canyon, especially for topwater action early and late; bass are nailing walking baits near boulder This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 226 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3444846240 Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Saturday, August 9, 2025. Sunrise painted the cliffs bright at 6:20 a.m., with sunset expected at 8:33 p.m. Weather-wise, it’s another classic August scorcher in canyon country: bluebird skies, highs right around 103 degrees, and a dry southwest wind picking up to 20 miles per hour during the afternoon, kicking some chop onto open water. Water temps in the main lake are holding in the high 70s to low 80s by afternoon, making for classic late-summer patterns. With no tides in play—she’s a reservoir, after all—fish movement today is all about wind, temperature, and light. The bite has been steady, especially in the early hours and again near dusk, when things cool off. Stripers are schooling up in open water just outside the mouths of the canyons and around structure. Recent catches have been solid, with several boats reporting over 30 fish in a morning’s work. Most of these are eating trolled deep-divers and vertical jigged spoons in shad patterns. If you’re marking big clouds of bait on your electronics, drop a chrome Kastmaster or a jigging spoon right below the boat and get ready. Later in the day, smallmouth are holding tight to rocky points, ledges, and submerged brush, especially from 15 to 30 feet deep. Anglers using drop shot rigs with watermelon or green pumpkin finesse worms are seeing plenty of action, and rocky shorelines near Bullfrog Bay and Good Hope Bay are producing. Ned rigs and small tube jigs can also get the job done—don’t overlook the shaded pockets under overhangs as the sun climbs. Largemouth have been a bit trickier, but the grassier cuts around Wahweap and Warm Creek have coughed up a few 3- to 4-pounders for folks pitching Texas-rigged craws or slow-rolling spinnerbaits right at first light. The late summer algae bloom is just starting to green up a few of those warm, still coves, and that’s where you might tangle with a big one if you’re patient. Catfish are bitey on the flats and along sandy banks, particularly in the evenings. Nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or fresh cut shad under a slip sinker will do the trick—look for a gentle slope with a bit of current near the main channel. A key tip: the current wind has shad bunched up against the windward banks as the sun sets, and that’s where both stripers and smallmouth will push in to feed aggressively. Look for birds diving and surface commotion in the evening. Hot spots to check today: - **The mouth of Navajo Canyon**—great action on stripers right at sunrise with jigging spoons and trolling sticks attacking the midwater schools. - **Good Hope Bay**—rock points and gravel coves are loaded with aggressive smallmouth, and the occasional bonus walleye on Gulp minnows or crawler harnesses. - **Padre Bay**—working windy points here with topwater walkers at dawn yielded reports of some “football” smallmouth and even the odd largemouth mixing in.

Sunrise warmed the red rock canyons at 6:20 AM this morning, with sunset coming up at 8:25 PM—plenty of daylight for those of you chasing the bite before these dog days of summer really crank up. Hot and dry conditions continue at Lake Powell, with highs right around 105°F under clear skies and that southwest wind picking up to 15–25 mph by late afternoon. Nights cool off to the low 70s, but day temps are relentless—be sure you stay hydrated and shelter up from the sun, especially after lunch, because the real action’s coming early and late according to the National Weather Service. No significant rain in the forecast, and the lake remains low, but launching is available at main ramps. Lake Powell doesn’t feel any ocean tides, just that steady southwestern wind making for some chop most afternoons—float plan accordingly, especially in open reaches. Now, to what you’re here for: **the fishing.** The action has been hot in the mornings, with a strong window between first light and about 10 AM. Recent catches report a mixed bag—**striped bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and a few decent size catfish**. Shore anglers and those working coves are bringing in good counts of panfish—yesterday, one local group caught over 70 fish (a mix of crappie, sunfish, perch, and a few small bass) in less than five feet of water, sticking about 50 yards off the rocky banks in the shallows. Stripers are schooling up through the main channel near Antelope Point and farther uplake by Bullfrog. Best bet for stripers is tossing small casting spoons, white and chrome colored, or trolling deep-diving crankbaits right along the drop-offs. If you’re putting in early, try live anchovy chunks or cut bait—the fresher, the better. For bass, soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon fished Texas-rigged along shaded ledges in Navajo Canyon or the San Juan Arm have been getting plenty of thumps, especially before noon. If you’re a power fisherman, Justin Lucas recommends slowing down those vibrating jigs and reaction baits until those fish can’t resist; that slow retrieve has been triggering some bigger bites in the deeper water haunts. Crappie and sunfish are stacking up around submerged brush in shallower coves—small jigs tipped with a minnow or grub, suspended under a slip bobber, is the go-to setup. For catfish after dark, nightcrawlers or stink bait fished over sandy flats near Wahweap or Halls Crossing is producing steady action. Best lures for the week: - Small spoons (chrome/white) for stripers - Deep-diving crankbaits, shad pattern - 3–4 inch soft plastics, green pumpkin, for bass - Small tube jigs or grubs for panfish Best bait: - Anchovy chunks (fresh or salted) - Nightcrawlers - Cut bait for catfish - Minnows for crappie If you’re chasing a hot spot, give Stanton Creek a look for early bass, or target the narrows above Dangling Rope for stripers—word is This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

No tides to worry about on Powell—this is freshwater angling all the way. Weather’s been classic desert: highs flirting with 104°F under clear, sunny skies, lows cruising into the low 70s once the sun dips. Expect patchy smoke drifting in from the southwest and a stiff breeze at times, especially in the late afternoon, so keep your hats strapped down. Sunrise came early at 5:34 am and sunset’s not until 7:29 pm, giving you nearly fourteen hours of golden opportunity on the water. The lake has been busy but not packed. The best bite windows are still the first two hours after sunrise and the last hour before dark—both stripers and largemouth getting feisty when the sun is low. Surface temps remain warm, so most fish have dropped a bit deeper mid-day. The water clarity is decent near the main channel but murkier where the wind’s kicked up sediment in the coves. Let’s talk fish: recent reports have seen solid striper action, with anglers boating numbers anywhere from five to 25 per outing on the troll between Antelope Point and the mouth of Navajo Canyon. Live anchovies are still king for stripers—best fished deep (40-70 feet), on a weighted line, right around the channel breaks. For those tossing artificials, Rat-L-Trap style lipless crankbaits and shad-patterned swimbaits like the Custom Baby Bull Shad in Blue Back Herring have landed some real slabbers, especially where schools are busting shad at the surface (Fulks Custom Cranks swears by it). Smallmouth bass are showing up on rocky points and shelves, particularly in the shade of steep banks. Numbers aren’t as high as early summer but decent size—lots of two-pounders being coaxed out. Best picks are finesse baits: 3- to 4-inch soft plastic grubs or ned rigs in green pumpkin or motor oil, worked slowly along the bottom in fifteen to twenty feet of water. Largemouth bass are a tougher ticket but still worth hunting in the shallow coves and flooded brush between Warm Creek and Padre Bay, especially early. Topwater frogs and walking baits got a few big blows just after dawn, but the go-to as the days heat up is a soft plastic Texas rig pitched tight to cover. Catfish have stayed consistent after dark—classic chicken liver or stink bait doing work for channel cats near the camps around Lone Rock Beach. As always, crappie are tough to pin down in August, but if you find submerged brush in 20-30 feet of water, drop a small jig or minnow and you could end up with a mixed bag. Hot spots this week: - The mouth of Navajo Canyon: lots of striper schools following shad—troll or drop bait here in the morning. - Lone Rock Beach area: good access, especially for night catfish or kids targeting sunfish and bluegill. Pro tips: With the warmer temps, fish deeper midday; target shaded banks; use natural bait if you’ve got it, shad imitators if you don’t.

The sun came up at 5:17 this morning and will set around 8:45 tonight, meaning anglers had a wide, hot window to put in work before that relentless afternoon sun really set in. Unlike coastal spots, Lake Powell’s water levels and current are driven not by tides, but by upstream releases and local runoff, and this year’s thin snowpack means the lake’s still running low. With ongoing drought and regional water negotiations making headlines, water clarity’s been decent, but fluctuating with boat traffic and recent pop-up thunderstorms, which have passed through the area but spared most of the recreational waters from serious flooding, according to local news. Fish activity is geared toward warm-water species right now, and the bite has been outstanding at first light, tapering a bit by late morning. Those targeting striped bass, largemouth, and smallmouth have found consistent action, especially near deeper points and canyon drop-offs. Stripers are schooling up and chasing shad early, while smallmouth are hanging tight to rocky structure. Best reports coming in today are from the mouth of Navajo Canyon and the deeper stretches around the Stateline launch area. Both are classic summer hot spots, holding aggressive striper schools in the mornings and plenty of smallmouth and walleye down below. Bank anglers working Shadow Canyon in the evenings have also reported steady bites. As for what’s working, spinnerbaits and crankbaits have been king, with shad-patterns drawing the most strikes. According to recent tournament reports, moving baits like buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are producing well—no surprise given the high water temps and active predator fish. Topwater poppers and walking baits get explosive hits at dawn, especially when stripers are herding bait to the surface. Live anchovy chunks or cut bait will put numbers in the boat, but if you’re fishing artificial, stick with soft swimbaits or jerkbaits around ledges and submerged points. Don’t sleep on drop shot rigs for smallmouth; they’re picking up bonus walleye as well. Over the Fourth of July weekend, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources noted increased enforcement around boat ramps for invasive species checks. The upside? More eyes have meant more up-to-date fishing info, and both stripers and smallmouth have been showing in good numbers—anglers reporting 10-30 fish mornings targeting schools with vertical jigging spoons or trolling deep-diving crankbaits. Overall, with the lake in the throes of summer, expect fish to push deeper as the day wears on. Early morning and late evening are your money windows—fish aggressively, switch things up when the bite slows, and always check regulations as invasive species measures are in full swing.

Expect a classic desert summer out on the water—Utah’s drought has deepened, and Lake Powell’s water inflows are running at just 54% of their long-term average, leaving reservoir levels low and the waterline pulled back[Western Water, July 5, 2025; The Spokesman-Review, July 6, 2025]. The surface temperature today at Glen Canyon Dam stands at 73°F, which is perfect to get the bass and stripers active early and late in the day[LakeMonster, July 5, 2025]. There’s no tide in these freshwaters, but sun and moon cycles still matter. Sunrise was at 5:14 AM, sunset will be at 8:44 PM, and mid-morning and twilight remain the best windows for big catches. With highs soaring into the low 100s and zero chance of rain, the heat will drive fish deep by midday—be prepared for slow action once the sun is high[KSL Weather Center, July 6, 2025]. Striped bass have been the stars this weekend—multiple boats reported solid numbers trolling the main channel near Antelope Point and farther up by Bullfrog. Slabs in the 3- to 5-pound range were caught on anchovy chunks and cut bait set deep—25 to 60 feet is the magic zone as the thermocline gets sharper[LakeMonster, July 5, 2025]. Shad schools are showing thick off points near Wahweap and Padre Bay, making these great target zones for early morning boils. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hammering soft plastics and drop-shot rigs. Local guides and tournament regulars say green pumpkin Ned rigs or drop-shotted worms are unmatched right now—try a PowerBait MaxScent Flat Worm or a Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm if you want in on that action[Major League Fishing, July 6, 2025]. Early risers are catching smallies off rocky outcrops near Warm Creek and Last Chance Bay using jigs and tube baits pitched tight to submerged structure. Walleye activity has picked up on the north end—these elusive feeders are taking nightcrawler rigs and bright crankbaits trolled along the sandy flats at dusk and dawn. Don’t overlook shallow brush piles or the shadow lines cast by larger houseboats at sunrise. Bluegill are plentiful in the backs of coves, especially around Antelope Marina, for anyone looking to put the kids on some easy action with worms or small Panther Martin spinners. Best baits right now remain: - Anchovy or shad strips for stripers - Green pumpkin Ned rigs, drop-shot plastics, and finesse jigs for bass - Chartreuse crankbaits or crawler harnesses for walleye Top hot spots to hit today: - Wahweap Bay: Early morning stripers and smallmouth action on deep cuts - Antelope Point to Navajo Canyon: Striped bass boils, especially first light and dusk - Bullfrog Basin: Good mixed bag of stripers, smallmouth, and walleye just outside the marina and along points Boat traffic is up thanks to the summer crowd, but with lake levels receding, take extra care near rocks and submerged structure, especially up-lake past Dangling Rope.

Sunrise painted the red-rock canyons at 5:03 AM, and you’ve got until a sunset at 7:44 PM to chase your next big bite. No tides to speak of—just the slow, steady reservoir rise as late spring runoff continues to trickle in, pushing the lake up and flooding fresh brush all along the shoreline. Water temps have stabilized at a fishy 66°F, and water clarity is excellent across Wahweap Bay, up the main channel, and throughout the popular arms. The early morning bite is still the ticket. Mornings have been cool and calm, moving to highs in the mid-80s by afternoon, with a light breeze ruffling the water—perfect fishing weather. The bass action is booming: both smallmouth and largemouth have slipped deeper, feeding actively in 10 to 30 feet of water. Main lake points and flooded brush pockets are loaded with 1-2 pound smallies. Anglers working the San Juan Arm are reporting some of the better largemouth action, especially around those newly submerged willow thickets. Topwater lures like the trusty Zara Spook are drawing ferocious strikes just after sunrise. As the sun climbs, it’s time to break out subsurface presentations—think Megabass Vision 110 jerkbaits, Yamamoto Neko Fat Worms in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig, or Texas-rigged Hula Grubs pitched tight to structure. Jig and chatterbait aficionados are doing well too, especially with green pumpkin chatterbaits trailed by a baby bass fluke, and green pumpkin jigs with a bama craw chunk worked slowly through rock and brush. Striped bass are absolutely on fire. There are hundreds being cleaned daily at the Wahweap Marina fish cleaning station. Striper schools are popping up all over, and those targeting them with trolled crankbaits or even on the fly are taking home coolers full. If you’re after quality fillets, focus on trolling for the larger, fatter specimens with a pinkish hue in the fillet, steering clear of the thinner, pale fish for best flavor. Don’t count out the walleye—more folks are quietly catching a couple a day, mostly as a welcome surprise while working the same deep bass structure. Catfish, crappie, and carp round out the mixed-bag action, though the main story is definitely the bass and stripers. For hot spots, target: - Wahweap Bay: For early-morning topwater and mid-day striper boils. - San Juan Arm: Flooded brush is hiding quality largemouth bass. - Main Lake Points near Antelope and Navajo Canyons: Consistent smallmouth and bonus walleye.

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 07:30:25 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell, Utah fishing report for June 22, 2025. Sunrise painted the red-rock canyons at 5:03 AM, and you’ve got until a sunset at 7:44 PM to chase your next big bite. No tides to speak of—just the slow, steady reservoir rise as late spring runoff continues to trickle in, pushing the lake up and flooding fresh brush all along the shoreline. Water temps have stabilized at a fishy 66°F, and water clarity is excellent across Wahweap Bay, up the main channel, and throughout the popular arms. The early morning bite is still the ticket. Mornings have been cool and calm, moving to highs in the mid-80s by afternoon, with a light breeze ruffling the water—perfect fishing weather. The bass action is booming: both smallmouth and largemouth have slipped deeper, feeding actively in 10 to 30 feet of water. Main lake points and flooded brush pockets are loaded with 1-2 pound smallies. Anglers working the San Juan Arm are reporting some of the better largemouth action, especially around those newly submerged willow thickets. Topwater lures like the trusty Zara Spook are drawing ferocious strikes just after sunrise. As the sun climbs, it’s time to break out subsurface presentations—think Megabass Vision 110 jerkbaits, Yamamoto Neko Fat Worms in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig, or Texas-rigged Hula Grubs pitched tight to structure. Jig and chatterbait aficionados are doing well too, especially with green pumpkin chatterbaits trailed by a baby bass fluke, and green pumpkin jigs with a bama craw chunk worked slowly through rock and brush. Striped bass are absolutely on fire. There are hundreds being cleaned daily at the Wahweap Marina fish cleaning station. Striper schools are popping up all over, and those targeting them with trolled crankbaits or even on the fly are taking home coolers full. If you’re after quality fillets, focus on trolling for the larger, fatter specimens with a pinkish hue in the fillet, steering clear of the thinner, pale fish for best flavor.

First light cracked over the red rock canyons at 5:02 AM and you’ll have until sunset at 7:43 PM to get after it—plenty of daylight for the weekend warriors and the die-hards alike. No tides to consider, just the steady summer see-saw of the reservoir; water elevation's still on the rise after a lush spring, flooding shoreline brush and bringing new structure into play. Water temps are holding right around 66°F and visibility’s prime from Wahweap Bay up through the main channel, according to Arizona Game & Fish. Weather today is spot-on for a June outing. Calm, cooler mornings with highs pushing into the mid-80s by afternoon. Expect a fresh breeze as the day wears on, which’ll put some ripple on the surface—perfect for keeping fish cruising in the shallows and active. The bite is on and the bass are booming. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slipped a little deeper with the warming water but they’re plenty hungry. You’ll find smallmouth in that 10-30 foot zone, especially around main lake points and those newly flooded brushy pockets. The better largemouth bags are still coming out of the San Juan Arm—definitely a hot spot to hit. Topwater action has been explosive first light, especially with Zara Spooks and the Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait. Once the sun’s up, most folks are switching over to a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin, rigged on the Neko or Texas rig, and pitching into the brush. For those fishing deeper structure, green pumpkin chatterbaits with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer and classic green pumpkin jigs with a bama craw trailer are putting plenty of fish in the boat. And don’t sleep on the Yamamoto Hula Grub; it’s a perennial favorite here for a reason—Texas rig it and crawl it slowly along the bottom, or pitch it right into the middle of that flooded cover. Striper action is wild right now, with hundreds being cleaned daily at Wahweap Marina. Most fish are average size, but the fatter ones are there if you’re willing to hunt—trolling remains key. Fly anglers are also getting in on the action, especially early before the heat really drives the fish deeper. Walleye catches are up compared to past years too; a slow-trolled bottom bouncer or crawler harness around rocky points can produce a few keepers each morning. Hot spots today? San Juan Arm for big largemouth, and the freshly flooded brush lines between Wahweap and Padre Bay for smallmouth. Don’t skip the main channel points, especially with moving water and some breeze.

We’re rolling into the heart of summer, and Lake Powell is fishing hot right now. Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM, and sunset’s coming up at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got over 14 hours to chase your limit. No tides out here in the desert, but water levels are still rising thanks to a late runoff—expect plenty of fresh structure and flooded brush along the shoreline. Morning weather is starting off mild and calm, with highs in the mid-80s by noon and a reliable afternoon breeze that can make boat positioning a little tricky if you’re out after lunch. Water temperatures are a steady 66°F in Wahweap Bay and the main channel, and clarity is looking excellent from the dam all the way up past Bullfrog, according to Arizona Game & Fish. The smallmouth and largemouth bass bite is booming! Both species have slid deeper, so focus your efforts in 10 to 30 feet of water—main lake points, rocky ledges, and especially anywhere that fresh brush has just flooded. In the San Juan Arm, largemouth are coming out to play, and some anglers are reporting 1- to 2-pounders hitting steady. Start your morning with a Zara Spook for topwater fireworks or a Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait for reaction bites, especially if there’s a little chop. As the sun gets higher, rig up a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig—this setup’s been landing bass all week, letting you work both shallow and deep pockets without missing a beat. For pitching into brush or around timber, a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake is lights out. And don’t overlook a 3/8 oz green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer along rocky banks—Lake Powell bass can’t lay off that combo. If you’re after stripers, they’re absolutely everywhere right now, especially up around Wahweap Marina and across main lake points. Hundreds are being cleaned daily at the fish cleaning stations, with spawners ranging from thin schoolies to some real fatties if you’re willing to work a little harder for quality fillets. Stripers are slamming spoons, swimbaits, and even hitting fly gear when the schools are surfacing. Action is best early and late—by mid-morning, fish slide a little deeper, so trolling or vertical jigging is the way to go. Walleye are a pleasant surprise this season, with several anglers picking up a few each trip, mostly on crawler harnesses or when bouncing jigs for bass, reported by Capt. Bill McBurney. For hot spots, don’t miss the stretch between Wahweap Bay and Antelope Point early in the day, and the San Juan Arm is producing solid bass throughout the morning. The back of Warm Creek Bay also has a lot of newly flooded brush that’s holding both bass and stripers. That’s the scoop for June 21st—get out early, work those new structures, and don’t be afraid to mix up your baits through the day.

The sun popped up at 5:02 AM and won’t dip below the horizon until 7:43 PM, giving anglers a long window to chase those fish. No tides to worry about on Lake Powell—just the steady rise from desert runoff, which has been pushing the lake up more than a foot a day lately. That’s flooding new brush and fresh structure all over the place, especially along the main channel and in the coves. Mornings have been cool and calm, highs nudging into the mid-80s by afternoon, with a gentle breeze kicking up later in the day. Water temperatures are holding steady around 66°F and clarity is excellent from Wahweap Bay all the way up through the narrows, as the folks at Arizona Game & Fish have confirmed. The bass bite is still bouncing. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid off into deeper water—look for smallmouth in that 10 to 30-foot range, working off rocky points and inside those fresh, flooded brush pockets. If you’re after largemouth, the San Juan Arm is producing the best reports with fish coming out of the flooded timber on creature baits. Early mornings are prime for topwater—toss a Zara Spook, and you’ll get explosive strikes. Once that sun’s up, swap over to a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm (green pumpkin is the local favorite) on a Neko Rig, or try a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub pitched into brush and timber. Jig and chatterbait fans are cashing in too—try a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer or pitch a green pumpkin jig with a craw trailer into heavy cover. According to recent local reports, these combos have been tearing up both largemouth and smallmouth bass this week. Striped bass action is still wild, especially around Wahweap Marina, Warm Creek, and up in Navajo Canyon. Locals have been hauling in hundreds of stripers a day, plugging up the fish cleaning stations. There’s a mix of thin spawners and some fatter post-spawn fish with pinkish fillets—if you want those quality fillets, work a little deeper and move to find the right schools. Best bets are shad imitations like Rapala Shad Raps or Flicker Shads trolled at 15 to 20 feet, and vertical jigging with heavy spoons or anchovies if you mark fish holding deeper. Stripers are spread throughout, but the south end, especially from Wahweap through Warm Creek to Navajo Canyon, is on fire right now. Walleye have been showing up as a bonus catch, especially when trolling crankbaits—don’t be surprised if you pick up a couple a day, especially in the brushy coves and channel drop-offs. Top recommended hot spots for today: - Wahweap Bay and Marina area for stripers and smallmouth. - San Juan Arm for the best largemouth bass action. - Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek for another shot at feeding striped bass.

If you’re hitting the water today, you’re in for some prime summer angling. Sunrise hit at 5:06 AM, and you’ll have daylight working for you until sunset at 8:01 PM. With water temps around Wahweap Bay holding steady near 66 degrees, you can expect most fish to be active in the early morning and late evening hours when the surface cools off and the bite heats up. According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department, the lake’s elevation sits right around 3,558 feet, making for good access and coverage over submerged brush—ideal bass habitat. Bass action is booming. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have moved a bit deeper as summer heat ramps up. Right now, 10-30 feet is the sweet zone. Try trolling or using tube jigs, but my top pick for bass this week is the Yamamoto 5" Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin, neko-rigged with a touch of chartreuse on the tail. If you’re targeting structure or flooded brush, a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub or a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer is hard to beat. Pitch these baits into heavy cover or slow-roll them along drop-offs and you’ll find fish[6][8][1]. Striped bass are going absolutely off. There’s a pile of spawners around—thin fish in big schools. Big striper hauls have plugged up the cleaning stations lately, especially at Wahweap Marina, and anglers willing to hunt can still find fat, pink-fleshed stripers for quality fillets. The most effective approach? Troll with deep-diving shad raps, flicker shads, or norma divers at 15-20 feet and experiment with speeds around 3.5-4 mph. Anchovies on a jighead or heavy vertical spoons are money when you locate a school. According to Lake Powell Chronicle, Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek have been hot for stripers down south, while Good Hope Bay to 2 Mile Canyon is producing up north[4][7][1]. Walleye are showing up more this year, typically caught incidentally while chasing bass or stripers, often on soft plastic worms or smaller crankbaits around brushy points and submerged structure. Average is a couple per outing[1]. If you want a couple of can’t-miss spots, head for the San Juan Arm for largemouth bass or stick around the mouth of Navajo Canyon for some textbook striper action. Warm Creek is another top bet for big numbers. The weather is hot and mostly clear—perfect for early starts and late-evening sessions. There’s no tide to worry about, just that classic Powell wind that can kick up in the afternoons, so plan accordingly and chase shade when you can.

Sunrise came early at 5:02 AM and sunset wraps things up at 7:43 PM, providing a big 14-hour window to chase that next personal best. Early June weather is treating us right: calm and cool in the mornings, highs rising through the mid-80s by midday, with afternoons seeing a fresh breeze across the water. No tides out here—just that classic desert reservoir rise. After a wild, wet spring, runoff is starting to slow, but water levels are still climbing by more than a foot a day, flooding brush and new structure all along the shoreline. Water temps are holding steady around 66°F, and the clarity is excellent from Wahweap Bay up through the main channel, according to recent data from Arizona Game & Fish. The bass bite is bouncing! Smallmouth and largemouth have slid deeper, but they’re hungry—look for smallmouth in 10 to 30 feet of water, especially off main lake points and inside flooded brush pockets. Trolling and tubing are producing steady 1 to 2-pounders, with better largemouth reports coming from the San Juan Arm. Early on, a Zara Spook or Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait will get explosive topwater strikes. Once the sun’s up, rigging a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig or a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub pitched into fresh brush is the ticket. Jig and chatterbait fans have been cashing in, too—try a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer along rocky shorelines and around submerged structure. Striped bass are absolutely going off. Hundreds have been cleaned at Wahweap Marina this week, most running a solid 2 to 5 pounds, with the occasional double-digit brute landed by folks willing to hunt schools stacking up deep. Early mornings are magic for topwater action; watch for surface boils and hit them with silver spoons or shad-imitating swimbaits. For numbers, it’s hard to beat dead anchovies on a Carolina rig, especially in the striper hot spots like Navajo Canyon, Warm Creek, or up north at Good Hope Bay and 2 Mile Canyon. If you’re after quality over quantity, trolling deeper diving plugs and vertical jigging heavy spoons near bait balls has been landing the fattest fish with those signature pink fillets. A quick word on walleye: Not typically the main Lake Powell target, but this year reports are up, with a couple a day showing up as bycatch in most boats. Try a flicker shad or shad rap around rocky ledges. For hot spots, don’t miss: - Wahweap Marina: fantastic for morning stripers and deep bass. - The San Juan Arm: best for largemouth this week. - Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek: loaded with stripers on both bait and spoons.

Early mornings are magic for topwater action; watch for surface boils and hit them with silver spoons or shad-imitating swimbaits. For numbers, it’s hard to beat dead anchovies on a Carolina rig, especially in the striper hot spots like Navajo Canyon, Warm Creek, or up north at Good Hope Bay and 2 Mile Canyon. If you’re after quality over quantity, trolling deeper diving plugs and vertical jigging heavy spoons near bait balls has been landing the fattest fish with those signature pink fillets. A quick word on walleye: Not typically the main Lake Powell target, but this year reports are up, with a couple a day showing up as bycatch in most boats. Try a flicker shad or shad rap around rocky ledges. For hot spots, don’t miss: - Wahweap Marina: fantastic for morning stripers and deep bass. - The San Juan Arm: best for largemouth this week. - Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek: loaded with stripers on both bait and spoons.

Sunrise this morning kicked off at 5:02 AM, and sunset will slide in at 7:43 PM, giving you almost 15 hours to chase Lake Powell’s famed stripers, bass, and more. We’re seeing classic early summer weather: light winds at dawn, picking up by mid-afternoon, and temps rising into the mid-80s. Water’s holding steady at 66°F at Wahweap Bay, and the lake elevation is over 3558 feet, which means that fresh spring runoff is flooding new brush and structure—prime real estate for feeding bass and active stripers. Fishing has been downright explosive all week. Striped bass are absolutely thick, with hundreds being hauled in daily and cleaned at Wahweap Marina. Most are running 2 to 5 pounds, though a few double-digit fish are still coming in for the patient or lucky. Big schools of striper are working shad balls from the Glen Canyon Dam through the main basin and up toward the pump station. Early mornings are prime for topwater action—watch for boils and toss a silver or gold spoon, or throw shad-imitating swimbaits and vertical spoons for some knock-down, drag-out action. If you want numbers, dead anchovies on a Carolina rig is still king, especially back in the canyons and striper haunts where shad are thick. Bass fishing is solid, but you’ll want to fish a bit deeper with the water warming and the sun climbing higher. Smallmouths up to 2 pounds are sitting 10 to 30 feet deep—try trolling or tubing near cliff faces and around submerged brush. For largemouth, the San Juan Arm has lit up with solid action, especially where fresh brush meets deeper water. Zara Spooks have been killer early under overcast, while those working the bottom are scoring with the Yamamoto Hula Grub and the Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait. Don’t forget to rig a Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin and add a chartreuse-tipped tail—it’s catching bass at every depth right now. Pitch chatterbaits or jigs into flooded brush for bonus bites. Walleye reports are up this year, with anglers picking up a couple a day as bycatch, mostly on shad raps and flicker shad trolled at 15–20 feet. Crappie, catfish, and even the occasional fat carp are hitting for those who slow down and work the coves. Top hotspots: - Wahweap Marina and the stretch to Glen Canyon Dam for striper boils and non-stop action. - San Juan Arm for largemouth and mixed bags. - Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek for those looking to mix up bass and striper.

First off, today is shaping up sunny and hot, with early morning temps in the low 70s climbing toward the mid-90s by afternoon. The sunrise kicked off at 5:02 AM, and sunset will roll around at 8:07 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to work those canyons and coves. With the reservoir still on the rise thanks to a robust spring runoff, water levels are up and the main ramp at Wahweap is fully open. Boat launching’s a breeze, and that extra water means even more shoreline to explore. The big news this week is the red-hot striped bass bite. According to local guides and cleaning station chatter at Wahweap Marina, hundreds of stripers—ranging from thin spawners to a few chunky fillet-worthy fatties—are being pulled in daily. Average striper size runs between 3-4 pounds, but there’s always a shot at a trophy if you’re willing to hunt deep or troll outside the main crowds. Early mornings, especially within the first 45 minutes of light, are prime time for topwater action. Toss shad-imitating lures like Zara Spooks, or troll whole anchovies in 60-90 feet for your best chance at a solid haul. Bass have settled deeper with the heat moving in. Smallmouths are being caught in 10-30 feet—look for rocky points and submerged brush. Tubing and trolling soft plastics are putting up 1-2 pound smallmouths consistently. Largemouth action is stronger up the San Juan Arm; overcast mornings have seen great catches on topwater lures. Targeting bass? Local favorites include the Yamamoto Hula Grub texas-rigged in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake, 3/8 oz chatterbaits with baby bass fluke trailers, and classic jigs in green pumpkin with red flake. Fish these baits slow on the bottom or pitched into flooded brush for best results. Walleye action is also picking up. Reports have anglers stumbling onto a few walleye each trip, with trolling crankbaits and worm harnesses around rocky humps and structure yielding the best results. For those after catfish or panfish, channel cats are taking sink baits, anchovies, or even table scraps on Carolina rigs in shallow coves after dark. Crappie remain spotty but are catchable around submerged trees using small minnows or jigs. Hot spots right now: - Wahweap Bay for stripers and early morning boils. - The San Juan Arm for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially near brushy and timbered coves. That’s the scoop for June 13th from Lake Powell—don’t forget your sunscreen and plenty of ice for your catch. Thanks for tuning in, and remember to subscribe for the latest Lake Powell updates.

According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department, water temperatures at Wahweap Bay are holding steady at 66°F, which is right in the sweet spot for active fish and late spawning transitions. Thanks to a heavy spring runoff, the lake’s rising over a foot a day, flooding new brush and structure; perfect habitat for feeding bass and stripers. The bite has been explosive this week. The striped bass are absolutely on fire—hundreds being cleaned daily down at Wahweap Marina, with big schools working bait balls from the Glen Canyon Dam up through the main lake pump station.

Early mornings are prime for topwater action—look for boils and have your silver or gold spoons ready, or throw shad-imitating swimbaits and vertical spoons. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still king for numbers, especially in the classic striper haunts and the back canyons where shad are thick. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid a bit deeper with the warming water. You’ll find smallmouth in 10–30 feet, best caught on Ned rigs, Texas-rigged hula grubs, or green pumpkin chatterbaits with a baby bass fluke trailer. Largemouth are stacked up around flooded timber and brush in the San Juan Arm—try pitching jigs or dragging soft plastics right along the new structure. Overcast mornings have been good for a surface bite on classic Zara Spooks. Walleye are making a better showing than usual this year—catch a couple a day by bouncing nightcrawler harnesses or grubs around rocky points. For catfish, head to sandy bays in the evening with cut bait, anchovies, or even table scraps on a Carolina or drop shot rig in 5–15 feet of water. Hot spots right now include: - Wahweap Marina—stripers stacked up, easy bank access for night anglers. - Glen Canyon Dam and main lake pump station for stripers at first and last light. - San Juan Arm for bass—target newly flooded brush and points. - The U-shaped coves and back canyons where shad are schooling—follow the birds and surface boils.

We’re heading into another gorgeous summer day on the lake. Expect calm mornings and light breezes building through the afternoon, with highs in the mid-80s—classic early June weather on Powell. Sunrise came at 5:02 AM, and sunset will be at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got a nice long window to chase that big one. Lake Powell’s water is on the rise, coming up nearly a foot a day, which means fresh structure and hungry fish moving up shallow. Water temps have settled around 66°F at Wahweap Bay, prime time for active bites and some lingering spawn activity. Let’s talk action: Stripers are stealing the show this week. It’s an absolute frenzy, with anglers loading up coolers at striper hotspots like Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. The main tactic? Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig—still unbeatable for numbers. Shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons are also putting solid fish in the boat. According to McNabb Fishing Guides and Arizona Game & Fish, striper schools are cruising anywhere from 15 to 60 feet, with the best bite coming just after first light and picking up again late afternoon. Most fish are running 2 to 5 pounds, but there have been a few double-digit bruisers showing up for those willing to hunt. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid deeper, with the best smallie action in 10 to 30 feet on tubes, Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grubs, and green pumpkin jigs. The largemouth reports are solid, especially out of the San Juan Arm. Early overcast mornings are prime for walking baits like Zara Spooks. Largemouth are a bit more elusive but totally worth the effort—especially if you’re pitching into flooded brush and new shoreline cover. There’s also been a bump in walleye catches this year. Most are coming as accidental bycatch but a couple a day isn’t uncommon. Channel catfish, crappie, bluegill, and even the occasional carp are all on the menu for those willing to mix up baits. For catfish, try a chunk of anchovy or even table scraps on the bottom near brush piles or rocky ledges. Best baits right now: - For stripers: Dead anchovies (Carolina rig or drop shot), shad-imitating swimbaits, spoons. - For bass: Yamamoto Hula Grubs, green pumpkin jigs, chatterbaits, Zara Spooks for topwater. - For catfish: Anchovy chunks, hot dog pieces. A couple of hot spots to check out: the Glen Canyon Dam area remains the number one striper draw, and Wahweap Marina is seeing hundreds of fish cleaned daily. If you’re after largemouth and smallmouth, work the San Juan Arm and the newly flooded brush pockets along the main lake channel. That’s a wrap for today’s Lake Powell fishing report.

Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM and sunset’s coming up at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got over 14 hours of prime daylight to wet your line. No tides to worry about on Powell, just focus on those changing lake levels—water's coming up about a foot per day with new structure and brush getting flooded, which means fish on the move and new ambush points popping up all over. This morning started calm and clear, with the mercury rising fast—expect highs in the mid-80s by afternoon, and a light breeze picking up after lunch. Water temperature at Wahweap Bay is holding strong around 66°F, which is right in the sweet spot for active fish and late-season spawning transitions. The clarity’s good, and shad schools are starting to get thick back in the flooded brush lines. The striper bite is absolutely on fire right now. Folks are packing coolers at classic hotspots like Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station, but don’t sleep on the back canyons and U-shaped coves near the main channels—stripers have moved shallow, chasing those hatching shad. Early mornings are boil city, so have a topwater bait or shiny spoon ready to throw at any surface commotion. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still the go-to for filling a stringer, but shad-imitating swimbaits, silver spoons, and trolling shallow crankbaits are all producing. Average striper is running 2 to 5 pounds, but the occasional double-digit whopper is making an appearance, especially if you’re willing to troll deeper for the fatter post-spawn fish. Wahweap Marina’s cleaning station has been jammed—anglers are hauling in hundreds of stripers each week. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid deeper—look for smallmouth in 10–30 feet of water along rocky points and ledges. Try tubes, grubs, or Ned Rigs in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake. The Yamamoto Hula Grub, Texas or Carolina rigged, is a killer this week, and chatterbaits with a swimbait trailer are tracking down hungry bass along flooded brush. Largemouth reports have been strongest out of the San Juan Arm—pitching a classic green pumpkin jig into the newly submerged timber is paying off, especially on overcast mornings. Walleye are popping up more than usual this year, averaging a couple per day for those targeting them with bottom bouncers or worm rigs. Don’t forget channel cats after dusk—chunk bait, anchovies, or even a piece of hot dog will get it done in 5–15 feet. Best hot spots right now: Glen Canyon Dam for early morning striper boils, and the San Juan Arm backwaters for largemouth bass and walleye. The main lake pump station and Navajo Canyon are also seeing action. That’s your on-the-water scoop for Lake Powell this June 11th.

The clarity’s good, and shad schools are starting to get thick back in the flooded brush lines. The striper bite is absolutely on fire right now. Folks are packing coolers at classic hotspots like Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station, but don’t sleep on the back canyons and U-shaped coves near the main channels—stripers have moved shallow, chasing those hatching shad. Early mornings are boil city, so have a topwater bait or shiny spoon ready to throw at any surface commotion. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still the go-to for filling a stringer, but shad-imitating swimbaits, silver spoons, and trolling shallow crankbaits are all producing. Average striper is running 2 to 5 pounds, but the occasional double-digit whopper is making an appearance, especially if you’re willing to troll deeper for the fatter post-spawn fish. Wahweap Marina’s cleaning station has been jammed—anglers are hauling in hundreds of stripers each week. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid deeper—look for smallmouth in 10–30 feet of water along rocky points and ledges. Try tubes, grubs, or Ned Rigs in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake. The Yamamoto Hula Grub, Texas or Carolina rigged, is a killer this week, and chatterbaits with a swimbait trailer are tracking down hungry bass along flooded brush. Largemouth reports have been strongest out of the San Juan Arm—pitching a classic green pumpkin jig into the newly submerged timber is paying off, especially on overcast mornings. Walleye are popping up more than usual this year, averaging a couple per day for those targeting them with bottom bouncers or worm rigs. Don’t forget channel cats after dusk—chunk bait, anchovies, or even a piece of hot dog will get it done in 5–15 feet. Best hot spots right now: Glen Canyon Dam for early morning striper boils, and the San Juan Arm backwaters for largemouth bass and walleye. The main lake pump station and Navajo Canyon are also seeing action. That’s your on-the-water scoop for Lake Powell this June 11th.

Sunrise hit about two hours ago at 5:02 AM, and we've got sunset coming at 7:43 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work those coves, points, and channel edges today. The lake level continues to rise dramatically—coming up nearly a foot daily—creating fresh structure opportunities and pushing hungry fish into shallower areas. Water temps at Wahweap Bay are holding steady around 66°F, which is absolutely prime for active fish and spawning transitions. Weather-wise, we're looking at calm conditions through most of the morning with light breezes picking up this afternoon and highs in the mid-80s, so pack your sunscreen and plenty of water. The striper bite remains absolutely explosive across the lake! Anglers are filling coolers at classic striper haunts like the Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are your best bet right now, but don't overlook shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons—they're producing solid results too. Look for those striper schools roaming in 15-60 feet, with the hottest action coming right after first light and again in late afternoon. Most fish are running 2-5 pounds, with some monsters pushing 10+ pounds. For bass anglers, smallmouth and largemouth have slid a bit deeper recently. Target those 1-2 pound smallies in the 10-30 foot range with tubes or by trolling. If you're after largemouth, I'm hearing great reports on the Yamamoto Hula Grub—Texas rig a 5-incher with a 1/4 oz bullet weight in green pumpkin with black flake. Chatterbaits in green pumpkin with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer are also crushing it right now. Hot spots this weekend: McClellan Reservoir just got stocked with nearly 1,200 rainbow trout on June 3rd, so that's worth checking out. On the main lake, Wahweap Bay has been productive, especially early morning, and the flooded brush around rising shorelines is holding nice bass. For those wanting to try something different, the Rattletrap and Ned Rig have been consistent producers here at Powell over the years. Work those along rocky points and you'll likely connect with some quality smallmouth. Thanks for tuning in to your Lake Powell fishing report.

Sunrise came in early at 5:02 AM and sunset’s not until 7:43 PM, giving you a long window to chase the bite across this legendary canyon country. Lake levels are on the rise—up almost a foot a day—so there’s fresh flooded brush and new structure popping up along the banks, and that’s got the fish moving and feeding in shallower water. Water temperature at Wahweap Bay is holding steady at 66°F, which is prime for active fish and puts them right in the transition between spawn and summer modes. The weather today is cooperative—expect calm conditions through the morning, with just a light breeze in the afternoon and highs in the mid-80s. Perfect conditions for working both shallow and deeper water. The wind may kick up later, so plan your run to distant spots early and take plenty of water and sun protection. Fishing this week has been absolutely on fire. The striped bass bite is blistering, especially if you’re fishing classic striper haunts like the Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. Folks are filling coolers using dead anchovies on a Carolina rig—hands down the best method at the moment. If you want to toss lures, go for shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons. Striper schools are active from 15 to 60 feet, with the best bite just after first light and again towards sunset. Most fish have been running 2–5 pounds, but several over 10 pounds have hit the docks this week, according to recent reports from area guides and the Arizona Game & Fish Department. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have moved deeper with the warming water, but you can still catch 1–2 pound smallmouth bass in 10–30 feet of water, especially by trolling or working tube baits and grubs. The Yamamoto Hula Grub in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake is a go-to, especially when rigged Texas style and crawled along rocky points and newly flooded brush. For a faster search pattern, tie on a green pumpkin chatterbait with a baby bass fluke trailer and work those windy points and secondary coves—bass just can’t lay off this combo right now. Topwater isn’t quite there yet—recent full moon phases have made that bite a little spotty—but keep a Zara Spook or popper handy for any surprise surface activity, especially at first and last light. Catfish, crappie, and the odd walleye are also biting, with stink baits, cut bait, or live worms producing well at night or in the deeper cuts. Hot spots to hit: - Glen Canyon Dam for stripers, especially early. - The main lake pump station for consistent multi-species action. - Warm Creek Bay and the entrance to Navajo Canyon for bass and bonus stripers. A quick tip: As the lake rises, fish right up into the new brush and target the edges for ambush predators. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Powell report with Artificial Lure.

Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM and sunset’s coming at 7:43 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to work the coves, points, and channel edges. Lake levels are on the rise, coming up nearly a foot a day—meaning new structure to target and hungry fish moving shallow. Water temps at Wahweap Bay are holding right around 66°F, prime for active fish and spawning transitions according to Arizona Game & Fish Department. Weather today: Calm conditions most of the morning, with light breezes picking up in the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid-80s—pack your sunscreen and plenty of water. Now, on to the bite: This week the action’s been absolutely explosive across the lake. The striped bass bite is red hot—anglers are filling coolers at classic striper haunts like the Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are unbeatable right now, but shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons are also landing fish. Striper schools are roaming in 15–60 feet, with the best action coming after first light and again in the late afternoon. Average fish are in that 2–5 lb range, with an occasional whopper north of 10 pounds being reported by locals and guides. Smallmouth bass are loaded up on rocky main-lake points and secondary shelves, hitting Ned rigs, tubes, and drop-shot finesse worms in earth tones. The largemouth bass bite is best in sun-warmed coves with brush or flooded tumbleweed flats—throw weightless stickbaits or spinnerbaits right to the cover and hang on. According to FishingPowell.com, largemouth numbers are solid and the fish are chunky. Crappie and bluegill are being caught around submerged timber, especially in the back of canyons—mini-jigs, curly tails, and small live minnows are best. Walleye are showing in low light on crankbaits along mudlines. Catfish are always an option after sundown with cut bait just off the sandy flats. If you want to maximize your odds today, hot spots include Navajo Canyon for mixed bags and the area below Antelope Marina for stripers chasing bait. Another strong bet is the back of Warm Creek, where the water’s coming up into new brush and all species are pushing shallow. Last reminder: there are no tides on Lake Powell since it’s a reservoir, so don’t wait for a tidal swing—fish are moving all day and some of the best action has been late morning into the afternoon.

We’ve got classic desert weather this morning: clear skies, gentle breezes, and temps rising into the high 80s by midday. Sunrise hit at 5:01 AM and sunset will be at 7:45 PM tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to chase those hungry bass and stripers. No tidal worries here—it’s reservoir fishing all the way. According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department’s recent updates, water temperature in Wahweap Bay is holding steady at 66°F. That’s the magic number, folks—just right for an explosive bite across the lake. We’ve been seeing both mornings and late afternoons producing solid fish, but don’t be surprised if the hot streak hits closer to midday; the “morning bite” hasn’t always been the ticket this week, so stay out and keep casting even after breakfast. This past week, the bite has been truly electric. Reports from local guides and anglers confirm that just about everything with fins is on the prowl: smallmouth bass are the most plentiful, but largemouth, crappie, bluegill, sunfish, walleye, and stripers are all feeding aggressively. Striped bass are especially cooperative right now, going “nuts all over the lake,” according to recent guide reports. Folks filling coolers at classic spots like the dam and the pump station are finding the anchovy bite is absolutely on fire—easy limits if you get on the schools early or stay late. For best results, hit the coves and the tight slot canyons, target shallow structure, and cover water. Smallmouth and largemouth are stacking up in the warmer, sunlit coves. Top lures this week? Crankbaits diving 15-20 feet (think shad raps and flicker shad), Rat-L-Traps, curly tail grubs, and the trusty Ned rig. For stripers, nothing beats chunked anchovy on a Carolina rig, but don’t sleep on jigging heavy spoons over deeper schools. If you’re after topwater action, make sure to have a shad-imitator tied on for early dawn or if you hit a striper boil. Hot spots right now include Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon on the southern end, and Good Hope Bay up to 2 Mile Canyon if you’re working the north. Recent surveys say the south sides of bays are consistently holding more fish—likely due to sunlight and baitfish concentrations. Striper sizes are running 3-4 pounds on average, but big girls are always out there in 60-90 feet if you want to troll deeper with downriggers. Largemouth have been healthy, and you’ll find them in the brushier coves with decent sun all day.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Saturday, May 31, 2025. We're experiencing perfect fishing conditions today with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-70s, and just a gentle breeze making for ideal time on the water. Sunrise was at 5:53 AM and sunset will be at 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Water temperatures are holding steady between 68-74 degrees – absolutely prime conditions for spring fishing. Since Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir, no tide report needed, but focus on time of day for best fish activity. Striper action continues to be excellent, especially in the southern lake near Glen Canyon Dam. These hungry stripers are stacking up in good numbers – boats have been reporting dozens caught per outing. For best results, cut anchovies into 1.5-inch chunks on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop your bait near the dam, particularly the right side when facing it, and work it gently up and down until you find their depth. Stripers are also holding in the backs of many canyons. Head to where the water changes from clear to colored at depths of 30 feet or less, and troll with shad-shaped crankbaits. Once you catch one, troll that same spot again for more. Bass fishing is hot right now too! Both largemouth and smallmouth are active in the shallows. Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek have been producing excellent catches. Popular lures like Rattletraps, 5-inch curly tail plastic grubs, and Ned Rigs are all working well. For trophy stripers, try trolling with downriggers and whole anchovies in early morning – they're most active about 45 minutes before dawn, typically in 60-90 feet of water. Hot spots this week include Good Hope Bay up to 2 Mile Canyon on the north end, and the consistently productive Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek on the south end. Don't forget to check out the backs of canyons where water transitions from clear to colored. Remember to keep those stripers on ice immediately after catching and fillet them as soon as possible for best taste. That's it for today's report, folks!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, May 30th, 2025. We're experiencing prime fishing conditions right now on Lake Powell with water temps hovering around 77 degrees. The lake elevation is sitting at 3557.96 feet, and fish are definitely active. Weather-wise, we're looking at a beauty of a day with sunny skies and a high near 47 degrees. Winds will be light from the north-northeast at about 7 mph. Perfect day to be on the water! Tonight will cool down to around 34 degrees, so layer up if you're heading out for evening fishing. All bass species are showing what I call "spring time good" activity. Smallmouth bass have been particularly active in the 40-70 foot range in canyons holding bait. Largemouth are hitting well on Texas-rigged Senkos and stick worms. Striper fishing has been absolutely phenomenal! They've moved out of the main channel and into the back canyons following the shad. Those freshly hatched shad are getting absolutely hammered. Look for U-shaped coves near the main channels and bay areas - that's where the action is happening. The stripers are in their best condition in decades thanks to the huge shad bloom. For lures, silver topwaters are your best bet in the early mornings when you see surface action. Zara Spooks and fly fishing poppers have been producing great results. For deeper water, try grubs in the 10-30 foot range, and Ned rigs have been outstanding for bass. Any shaky head setups will serve you well right now. If you're trolling, shallow divers have been working well for not just stripers but largemouth and smallmouth too. Deep diving shad crankbaits are also producing when trolling points to the main channel. Hot spots this week: Check out Padre Bay where slurping stripers have been observed in the main channel. Also, any points connecting to the main channel in that 40-70 foot range have been holding fish. Back canyons with shoreline brush are holding shad, and that's where the predators are lurking. Be aware that with the full moon phase, topwater action might be spotty at best, but expect fishing to improve dramatically as we move past this moon phase.

Tonight will cool down to around 34 degrees, so layer up if you're heading out for evening fishing. All bass species are showing what I call "spring time good" activity. Smallmouth bass have been particularly active in the 40-70 foot range in canyons holding bait. Largemouth are hitting well on Texas-rigged Senkos and stick worms. Striper fishing has been absolutely phenomenal! They've moved out of the main channel and into the back canyons following the shad. Those freshly hatched shad are getting absolutely hammered. Look for U-shaped coves near the main channels and bay areas - that's where the action is happening. The stripers are in their best condition in decades thanks to the huge shad bloom. For lures, silver topwaters are your best bet in the early mornings when you see surface action. Zara Spooks and fly fishing poppers have been producing great results. For deeper water, try grubs in the 10-30 foot range, and Ned rigs have been outstanding for bass. Any shaky head setups will serve you well right now. If you're trolling, shallow divers have been working well for not just stripers but largemouth and smallmouth too. Deep diving shad crankbaits are also producing when trolling points to the main channel. Hot spots this week: Check out Padre Bay where slurping stripers have been observed in the main channel. Also, any points connecting to the main channel in that 40-70 foot range have been holding fish. Back canyons with shoreline brush are holding shad, and that's where the predators are lurking. Be aware that with the full moon phase, topwater action might be spotty at best, but expect fishing to improve dramatically as we move past this moon phase.

We are hitting the sweet spot of spring fishing here at Lake Powell, with water temperatures holding between 68 and 74 degrees. The weather today is shaping up just about perfect for anglers—clear skies, highs in the mid 70s, and just a light breeze on the water. Sunrise came early at 5:58 AM and you’ll have until sunset at 8:21 PM to get in on the action. No need to worry about tides—Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir—so focus on time of day, water temp, and structure for fish activity rather than tidal tables. Fishing is nothing short of outstanding right now. The striped bass bite is red hot, especially in the southern section near Glen Canyon Dam. Striper schools are thick, and folks are easily catching good numbers by using cut anchovy chunks about an inch and a half long, rigged on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop those near the dam—if you’re facing the dam, stick to the right side—and gently work your bait up and down. Once you land your first striper, remember the depth and keep your bait in that zone to fill the cooler fast; dozens per outing is not uncommon[1][3][5]. If you’re more interested in variety, the backs of the canyons are producing as well. Target stripers in colored water less than 30 feet deep using shad-shaped crankbaits. Troll through that transition zone from clear to stained water—once you get a hit, double back and troll it again. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are active all over the lake, with both species holding near rocky points, brush, and submerged structure. Crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are also available and being caught by anglers using small jigs and live bait[5]. For today’s outing, the best all-around baits are fresh anchovy for stripers and soft plastic grubs or crankbaits that mimic shad for the bass. Drop shot rigs and tube jigs in green pumpkin or white are a solid pick for bass. If you’re targeting walleye or catfish, try nightcrawlers or chunk baits after sunset. Top hot spots for the day include the area just downstream of Glen Canyon Dam—work the right side as you face the dam—and the backs of Warm Creek and Navajo Canyons, especially where the water shifts from clear to stained and temps are in that sweet 70-degree range. That’ll do it for today’s Lake Powell report. The bite is on, the weather is perfect, and May is living up to its reputation as one of the best fishing months on the lake. Good luck out there, and remember to keep your lines tight and your bait in the strike zone. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We are rolling into late May with classic spring conditions—water temperatures are steady between 68 and 74 degrees, and the fish are loving it. Expect beautiful weather today: clear skies, highs in the mid 70s, and a light breeze. Sunrise was at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, so anglers have a solid window to catch the morning and evening bite. No tides to worry about on Lake Powell, just keep an eye on the clock and those water temps for the most action[2][3]. Fishing right now is nothing short of excellent. The southern end, especially around Glen Canyon Dam, is holding big numbers of hungry striped bass. They’ve been active and aggressive, with some boats reporting dozens of fish caught per outing. The go-to bait is still sliced anchovy, about an inch and a half, rigged on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop your bait near the dam on the right side if you’re facing it, and work it gently off the bottom—once you find the depth, stick with it for non-stop action[1][2][5]. If you’re more of a troller, head into the backs of canyons where the water shifts from clear to colored and is 30 feet deep or less. Troll a shad-shaped crankbait in that colored water—hook one fish and keep circling over that spot, as the stripers tend to school up there[1]. Besides stripers, Lake Powell is a mixed bag right now. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are both hot, especially around rocky points and submerged structure. Crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are also biting well, making it a great time for multi-species action. For bass, soft plastics and small crankbaits are producing, while catfish are hitting best in the evenings on cut bait or stink bait[5]. Hot spots to check today: Glen Canyon Dam (right side when facing the dam) for stripers, and the backs of Warm Creek and Navajo canyons for mixed bass and walleye. Don’t overlook the rocky shelves and coves for bass and panfish. This is the time to get out—Lake Powell is fishing better than it has all year. Tight lines and good luck out there!

We are in the heart of spring action and conditions could not be better. Water temperatures are holding steady between 68 and 74 degrees, perfect for ramping up fish activity and bringing multiple species into serious feeding mode. Today’s weather is shaping up ideal for a long day on the water. Expect clear skies, highs in the mid 70s, and just a gentle breeze—perfect for working any stretch of shoreline. Sunrise kicked off at 5:58 AM this morning, and you’ll have a long window with sunset not until 8:21 PM. With Lake Powell being a reservoir, tidal swings are not a concern, so focus instead on early mornings and late afternoons when the bite is hottest[2]. Fish are active right now and the catches reflect that. Striped bass are absolutely stacked up in the southern sections, especially right around Glen Canyon Dam and back into the major canyons. These stripers are hungry and hitting hard. The go-to bait at the moment is anchovy, cut into 1.5-inch pieces and rigged up on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop it down near the dam—especially on the right side as you face it—and gently work it up and down to find your depth. Once you’re hooked up, stick with that level. Some boats are hauling in dozens a trip, with healthy, hard-fighting fish. In the canyon arms, try trolling shad-shaped crankbaits in water 30 feet deep or less—once you hit one, circle back on the spot for more. Stripers are holding to areas where the water shifts from clear to a bit stained[1][2][3]. It’s not just stripers on the menu. May is known as one of the best months for variety here. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are biting well along rocky points and brush, especially up lake toward Bullfrog. Crappie, catfish, bluegill, and the occasional walleye are all being reported in good numbers all over the lake. Soft plastics and small jigs in lighter colors are pulling in bass, while catfish are favoring cut baits in the evenings[5]. Your hot spots for today are Glen Canyon Dam for stripers and the backs of Warm Creek and Navajo Canyons for both stripers and bass. Up lake, the Bullfrog area is turning in mixed bags of bass and panfish. Best lures remain shad-patterned crankbaits, soft plastic grubs, and for stripers nothing beats fresh cut anchovy. For bass, tube jigs, senkos, and even topwater baits are producing as temperatures rise through the day. Whether you are a die-hard or just looking for a day on the water, now is about as good as it gets at Lake Powell. Good luck, tight lines, and stay safe out there[1][2][3][5].

Let me get you set up for a day of prime fishing out here on the lake. The weather is tailor-made for anglers today—expect clear skies, with temperatures topping out in the mid 70s and just a gentle breeze to keep things comfortable. Sunrise came at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, so you’ve got a long window to fish. Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir, so you don’t have to worry about tides. Focus on early mornings or just before dusk for peak fish activity, especially while the water temps are holding between 68 and 74 degrees. Striped bass are absolutely lighting it up right now, especially down by Glen Canyon Dam. If you’re after numbers, this is the spot. Most folks are anchoring up and dropping chunks of anchovy on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Cut your anchovy into about 1.5-inch pieces and let them sink straight down about 20 to 30 feet. Once you find the depth the stripers are hitting, keep working that zone—you can easily land dozens of healthy stripers a session. For a change of pace or if the bite slows, head to the backs of canyons where the water shifts from clear to a little murky and is about 30 feet deep or less. Troll a shad-shaped crankbait through this colored water, and when you catch one, troll that same track again[1][2][5]. Smallmouth bass are on fire along rocky points and ledges in 15 to 25 feet of water. They’re hitting hard and often, with tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shot setups in green pumpkin or brown doing the trick. Largemouth are tucked into the shallow brush—try slow-rolling soft plastics or spinnerbaits through shallow cover and hang on tight[3][5]. Crappie have been showing up in decent numbers around submerged brush and trees, especially in the coves and side canyons. Small jigs or live minnows are the best bet for these slabs. Catfish and bluegill are being caught near the shorelines, and walleye are turning up here and there on bottom bouncers and smaller crankbaits, especially in the northern arms[5]. Hot spots today include the right side of Glen Canyon Dam—boats are stacking up and limits are coming in quick. Also check out the backs of Wahweap and Warm Creek Bay canyons for both stripers and a mixed bag of bass and crappie. If I had to pack just a few things, grab plenty of anchovy, shad-shaped crankbaits, green pumpkin soft plastics, and a couple of tube jigs. The bite is hot, the lake’s alive, and now’s the time to get on the water. Tight lines out there from Artificial Lure.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, May 23rd, 2025. We're experiencing absolutely prime fishing conditions on Lake Powell right now. Water temperatures are holding steady between 68-74 degrees, creating the perfect environment for multiple species to actively feed. Today's weather is shaping up beautifully with clear skies and temperatures expected to reach the upper 70s by afternoon. There's just a light breeze, making for ideal boating conditions. The sun rose at 5:53 AM and will set at 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet. Remember, Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir, so no need to worry about tides here. Focus instead on the time of day - early morning and evening hours have been particularly productive lately. Striped bass action remains red hot, especially in the southern section near Glen Canyon Dam. If you're facing the dam, concentrate on the right side where stripers are stacking up in impressive numbers. Cut anchovy chunks about 1.5 inches long on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head is the ticket here. Drop your bait, work it gently up and down, and when you find the right depth, you'll be pulling in stripers one after another. Many anglers are reporting dozens of fish per outing. For those wanting to target stripers away from the dam, try the backs of canyons where clear water meets colored water, especially in areas 30 feet deep or less. Trolling with shad-shaped crankbaits has been producing well in these zones. Bass fishing is equally strong right now. Largemouth and smallmouth are hitting aggressively in the shallows as they guard their spawning beds. Soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon colors rigged Texas-style have been most effective. Don't overlook the crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye opportunities as well. May is truly one of the best all-around fishing months at Powell, with virtually every species being catchable. For hot spots beyond the dam area, I'd recommend checking out Warm Creek Bay and Navajo Canyon, where the combination of structure and water clarity has been holding good numbers of fish. If you're heading out this weekend, get your bait and tackle in order, and I guarantee you'll find success on the water.

We're smack in the middle of prime spring fishing season here at Lake Powell, with water temperatures holding steady between 68-74 degrees - perfect conditions for all our fish species to be active and hungry. Today's weather is shaping up beautifully with clear skies, highs expected in the mid-70s, and just a light breeze to keep things comfortable. Sunrise was at about 5:53 AM and we'll see sunset around 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet. The striper bite remains exceptional, especially down in the southern lake. These hungry stripers have been moving toward Glen Canyon Dam, and anglers are having a field day there. If you're looking for numbers, head to the dam and fish the right side when facing it. Cut anchovies are the bait of choice - cut them into 1.5-inch chunks, rig them on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head, and drop them 20-30 feet out. Work your bait gently up and down, adjusting depth every few minutes until you find where they're stacked. Once you get a hit, remember that depth and you can catch dozens in short order. For those who prefer trolling, the canyon backs are hot spots right now. Look for areas where the water transitions from clear to colored and is 30 feet deep or less. Troll through that colored water using shad-shaped crankbaits. When you hook one, make another pass through that same area - where there's one, there's usually many. Don't forget about the bass action - both largemouth and smallmouth are in full spring mode. May is absolutely one of the best months for all species at Powell, with crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye all actively feeding as well. Two hot spots I'd recommend checking out today: First, the dam area I mentioned for those stripers, and second, try Warm Creek Bay where the bass have been stacking up around submerged brush and along the drop-offs. The great thing about Powell this time of year is you can't really go wrong wherever you choose to wet a line. No tides to worry about here on our freshwater reservoir - just focus on those morning and evening bite windows when fish tend to be most active. Tight lines, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off with your May 21st Lake Powell fishing report. See you on the water! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Two hot spots I'd recommend checking out today: First, the dam area I mentioned for those stripers, and second, try Warm Creek Bay where the bass have been stacking up around submerged brush and along the drop-offs. The great thing about Powell this time of year is you can't really go wrong wherever you choose to wet a line. No tides to worry about here on our freshwater reservoir - just focus on those morning and evening bite windows when fish tend to be most active. Tight lines, folks!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for this beautiful Monday morning, May 19, 2025. Folks, we're smack dab in the prime of springtime fishing at Lake Powell! Water temps are sitting pretty between 68-74°F, creating the perfect conditions for just about every species in the lake to be active and hungry. The striper action is absolutely on fire right now! They've been moving down lake toward Glen Canyon Dam where anglers are having a field day. If you're facing the dam, fish the right side for best results. These hungry stripers are hitting anchovies hard - cut 'em into 1.5-inch pieces on a 1/8 to 3/8-ounce jig head, drop it 20-30 feet, and work it with a gentle up-and-down motion. Once you catch one, remember that depth because that's your honey hole. For those looking to explore the canyons, head to the backs where the clear water meets the colored water, about 30 feet deep or less. Trolling with shad-shaped crankbaits in these transition zones has been producing consistent catches. It ain't just stripers biting either! The latest reports show largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are all hitting strong throughout the lake. May is truly one of the best all-around fishing months at Powell, with excellent action reported lake-wide. Hot spots this week include the area near Glen Canyon Dam for stripers and the backs of many canyons where that water color changes. Just find that transition zone from clear to colored water and you'll be in business. Weather-wise, we're looking at ideal conditions for the next few days. No specific tidal information applicable for Lake Powell since it's a reservoir, but sunrise happening around 6:15 AM gives you plenty of daylight to get after 'em. Bait-wise, those anchovies are working wonders for stripers. For artificial options, medium-diving crankbaits, tube jigs, and spoons are all producing well depending on your target species. The fishing's so good right now you might want to call in sick for the whole week! Whether you're after those scrappy stripers, battling bass, or tangling with walleye, Lake Powell is delivering the goods. Remember to check your regulations, keep what you need and release the rest.

We are sitting prime time for spring fishing on Lake Powell, with water temps holding steady between 68 and 74 degrees. The weather is shaping up perfect for anglers today—expect clear skies, highs around the mid 70s, and a gentle breeze, making for an ideal day on the water. Sunrise was at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, giving you a long window to hit the bite. With Lake Powell being a freshwater reservoir, tide is not a factor here, so focus on time of day and water temperature for fish activity instead. Fishing action remains excellent for stripers in the southern stretch, especially around Glen Canyon Dam. Stripers are hungry and stacking up in good numbers. The best bait right now is anchovy, cut into chunks about 1.5 inches, rigged on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop your bait near the dam, particularly the right side when facing it, and work it gently up and down. Once you find the depth the stripers are hitting, keep your bait there to land multiples. Some boats are reporting dozens caught per outing, with stripers running strong and healthy[1][3][5]. Bass fishing is solid too, both largemouth and smallmouth. The backs of canyons where water transitions from clear to murky—especially where it's 30 feet deep or less—are holding fish. Trolling a shad-shaped crankbait in colored water will get you hooked up quick. After you catch one, circle back through the same spot for more action. Bass are active throughout the day, but early mornings and late evenings around structure are producing best[1][5]. Other species like crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are being caught as well, with action rated as good to excellent. Crappie and bluegill are tight to brush and submerged cover, and catfish are biting cut bait or nightcrawlers off the bottom. For walleye, try jigging near rocky points or trolling deep-diving crankbaits[5]. Hot spots today: Glen Canyon Dam for non-stop striper action and the backs of Wahweap and Warm Creek Bays for bass and multi-species catches. For shore anglers, try the marinas early or late for a mixed bag. Best lures right now are shad-imitating crankbaits, white or chartreuse soft plastics, and of course, nothing beats fresh cut anchovy for stripers. Bait shops around the lake are well-stocked. That wraps up today’s Lake Powell fishing report. Bundle your rods, keep your bait fresh, and get out there while the bite is hot. Good luck and tight lines!

The spring bite is still going strong and the fishing conditions are prime right now! Lake Powell is absolutely on fire this time of year with water temperatures holding steady between 68-74°F. This is creating the perfect environment for multiple species to be active and hungry. Striped bass are showing exceptional activity, particularly in the southern lake. They've been moving down lake toward Glen Canyon Dam where anglers have been having a field day. If you're after stripers, cut anchovies are your best bet. Cut them into small pieces about 1.5 inches long and rig them on a jig head between 1/8 and 3/8 ounce. Drop your bait about 20-30 feet down and gently work it up and down, going a few feet deeper every few minutes. Once you get a hit, remember that depth – that's your sweet spot. If you're facing the dam, the right side has been particularly productive. For those who prefer artificial lures, the backs of canyons are holding good numbers of stripers. Look for areas where the water changes from clear to colored and is less than 30 feet deep. Trolling with shad-shaped crankbaits in these areas has been very effective. It's not just stripers that are active right now. Reports indicate that largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are all biting well. May is truly one of the best all-around months for Lake Powell fishing. For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the area near Glen Canyon Dam for those stripers. Additionally, many of the back canyons are producing good numbers. The transition zones where clear water meets colored water are particularly productive right now. The recent spring runoff has been slowing down after a wet spring that allowed the lake to rise approximately 60 feet. This has created some interesting new structure and fishing opportunities. For those heading out today, expect to have plenty of daylight with sunrise having occurred at about 6:10 AM and sunset not until around 8:30 PM. That gives you plenty of time on the water to find your honey hole. The fishing has been rated as "very good" to "excellent" across most of the lake, so don't overthink it – just get out there and wet a line! Whether you're bait fishing or throwing artificials, Lake Powell is delivering the goods right now. Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report.

The weather here is just about perfect for fishing—expect mild spring temps with a light breeze, and mostly sunny skies. Sunrise was just before 6 a.m., and sunset will fall around 8:30 p.m., meaning we’ve got long daylight hours to chase those springtime trophies. The spring runoff has slowed, and with the lake rising over sixty feet this season, there’s plenty of fresh structure and new shoreline for fish to explore. Water clarity is excellent in most arms, though you may find a little silt in the upper reaches after this wet spring. Fish activity is vibrant all over the lake. Stripers are really on the feed, especially near the dam, in Warm Creek Bay, and off rocky points. They’ve been schooling up and hitting hard, with anglers reporting double-digit catches on good days. The hot ticket for stripers right now is tossing cut bait, anchovies, or working a silver or white jig vertically in deeper water. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits and umbrella rigs is also picking up plenty of fish if you’re looking to cover water[4][5]. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are stacking up along rocky banks and submerged brush, especially on the main lake points and coves. Soft plastic grubs, tubes in green pumpkin or watermelon, and drop-shot rigs are all drawing solid bites. Don’t overlook spinnerbaits on breezy afternoons or topwater early in the morning before the sun gets high—bass are aggressive after that spring warm-up[5]. Crappie have been reported biting well around brush piles and submerged timber in quieter coves, particularly up around Good Hope Bay. Minnows and small jigs under a slip bobber are the best bet here. Bluegill and catfish round out the action, with catfish coming on cut bait and bluegill easy to catch on worms near shallow structure[5]. For today’s hotspots, head to Warm Creek Bay for stripers or the stretch from Navajo Canyon to the dam for a mixed bag of bass and stripers. Good Hope Bay is your best crappie bet. With fish active and the weather holding, it’s an ideal Lake Powell day. The bite is strong, the lake is generous, and there’s no better place to be.

Folks, we're smack dab in the middle of prime fishing time at Powell! Water temps have settled nicely between 68-74°F in the past couple days, and the fish are absolutely loving it. The lake's been rising steadily after that fantastic spring runoff we had, giving us about 60 more feet of water to play with compared to earlier this year. This morning's sunrise was at 6:12 AM, and we're looking at a sunset around 8:27 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Weather's cooperating nicely today with temperatures in the mid-70s and just a light breeze – perfect conditions for a day on the water. The fishing action has been nothing short of spectacular lately. Stripers have been hitting hard near the dam and in Warm Creek Bay. Smallmouth bass are absolutely crushing it in the rocky points and ledges in the 15-25 foot range. Largemouth are hanging in the shallow brush, while those tasty crappie are schooling around submerged trees and brush piles. Last week's reports showed anglers limiting out on stripers using anchovies near the dam. Bass fishermen have been having great success with drop-shot rigs using 4-inch watermelon or smoke-colored plastics. For those after walleye, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits in the early morning or late evening hours. As for hot spots, you'd be crazy not to try Warm Creek Bay right now – the stripers and smallmouth are stacked up there something fierce. Good Friends Canyon has also been producing some monster largemouth, with several 5+ pounders reported in the last few days. If you're after those tasty walleye, try the mouth of the Escalante where they've been feeding heavily in the current. Bait-wise, anchovies are still the go-to for stripers. For bass, plastic worms and jigs in natural colors are your best bet. The crappie can't resist small jigs tipped with minnows around those submerged trees. The main ramp at Wahweap is fully operational now for all boats, so launching is a breeze. Remember to keep your distance from other anglers – there's plenty of fish and water for everyone these days. That's the word from Lake Powell today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off and reminding you that the worst day fishing still beats the best day working! Tight lines, y'all!

The weather today is mild and mostly clear, with light morning winds giving way to calm conditions later in the day. Sunrise was around 6:15 AM and sunset will be near 8:15 PM, offering plenty of daylight for some quality fishing time. Water temperatures in the lake are hovering in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, which is just right for active fish feeding behavior. Fishing activity has been excellent lately, especially with striped bass and smallmouth bass making up the bulk of the catch. Recent reports from local anglers and guides indicate stripers are quite aggressive right now, likely feeding heavily on the abundant shad moving through the back canyons and U-shaped coves along the main channels. These areas are your best bet if you want to target stripers, as the fish tend to follow the shad into tighter spots where they can ambush their prey. For lure selection, spoons in silver are proving especially effective for stripers, with gold and copper spoons also getting bites. Early morning topwater action has been notable, so having a topwater bait ready to go when you see boils or surface commotion can pay off. Deeper water tactics such as grubs in the 10 to 30-foot range and Ned rigs have been working great for bass. Soft plastics like Senkos, stick worms, and shaky heads rigged wacky or Texas style remain reliable options, particularly around submerged brush and rocky shelf areas where bass congregate. Hot spots to consider today include the back canyons near Wahweap and the narrow slots east of Antelope Point. These spots offer a mix of shallow structure and deep-water shelves that hold both stripers and bass well. If you’re trolling, shallow diving crankbaits and tube jigs are producing good numbers, especially when working along drop-offs and points where baitfish like shad are plentiful. No tidal movement to report since Lake Powell is a reservoir, but keep an eye on weather conditions as afternoon breezes sometimes pick up, affecting casting and lure presentation. Overall, the bite is steadily improving as spring progresses, and the variety of fish—from large stripers to smallmouth and largemouth bass, plus some crappie and sunfish—makes Lake Powell a fantastic place to be right now. So get your rods ready, stock up on silver spoons, soft plastics, and grubs, and head out early to catch the best action. Lake Powell is firing on all cylinders this May, and there’s no shortage of hungry fish waiting for you on the water.

First off let me say conditions across the lake are just about perfect for anglers right now. We’re seeing continued excellent fishing for just about everything Lake Powell offers. May is always a top month out here and so far this year has been no exception. Early mornings are crisp with temps starting out in the low 60s climbing into the 80s by afternoon. Skies are mostly clear with a slight breeze today not enough to keep you off the water. The sun rose at 6:16 am and will set tonight at 8:16 pm. Tides aren’t a factor on Powell but rising water from spring snowmelt has pushed some fish up into the shallows and new brush lines. If you’re chasing stripers the bite has been hot early mornings especially where shad are stacked up in the back of coves and U shaped cuts off the main channels. The stripers are chasing freshly hatched shad so you’ll want to have a couple rods rigged. Topwater lures and surface walkers work well at first light wherever you see boils or surface action. Look for silver as your go-to color but gold and copper work too. Once the sun gets up a bit switch to spoons or troll shallow diving crankbaits along the edges. Small to medium white or chartreuse grubs fished in 10 to 30 feet of water have been getting a lot of bites as well. The bass bite is steady both largemouth and smallmouth. Ned rigs and shaky head jigs are producing, and Senko style plastics rigged wacky or Texas are always a winner right now. Fish these rigs around new flooded brush or rocky points. Catfish and walleye are being caught mostly on cut bait or worms fished on the bottom especially in the evening and overnight. A few nice crappie and bluegill also coming from the brushy pockets and submerged trees on small jigs. Recent catches have included plenty of striped bass up to 4 pounds, lots of smallmouth bass, a few largemouth, plus the occasional walleye and catfish. Overall fishing is rated good to excellent across the lake. Hot spots today include the backs of Warm Creek and Navajo Canyons for stripers and shad boils, and the brushy bays in Padre Bay and Last Chance for bass and crappie. Best baits right now – silver spoons, white or chartreuse soft plastics, topwater walkers at first light, and good old nightcrawlers or cut bait for the bottom dwellers. That’s the latest from Lake Powell. Good luck, be safe, and I hope you reel in a big one today. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Sun, 11 May 2025 07:31:43 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Powell fishing report for Sunday May 11 2025. First off let me say conditions across the lake are just about perfect for anglers right now. We’re seeing continued excellent fishing for just about everything Lake Powell offers. May is always a top month out here and so far this year has been no exception. Early mornings are crisp with temps starting out in the low 60s climbing into the 80s by afternoon. Skies are mostly clear with a slight breeze today not enough to keep you off the water. The sun rose at 6:16 am and will set tonight at 8:16 pm. Tides aren’t a factor on Powell but rising water from spring snowmelt has pushed some fish up into the shallows and new brush lines. If you’re chasing stripers the bite has been hot early mornings especially where shad are stacked up in the back of coves and U shaped cuts off the main channels. The stripers are chasing freshly hatched shad so you’ll want to have a couple rods rigged. Topwater lures and surface walkers work well at first light wherever you see boils or surface action. Look for silver as your go-to color but gold and copper work too. Once the sun gets up a bit switch to spoons or troll shallow diving crankbaits along the edges. Small to medium white or chartreuse grubs fished in 10 to 30 feet of water have been getting a lot of bites as well. The bass bite is steady both largemouth and smallmouth. Ned rigs and shaky head jigs are producing, and Senko style plastics rigged wacky or Texas are always a winner right now. Fish these rigs around new flooded brush or rocky points. Catfish and walleye are being caught mostly on cut bait or worms fished on the bottom especially in the evening and overnight. A few nice crappie and bluegill also coming from the brushy pockets and submerged trees on small jigs. Recent catches have included plenty of striped bass up to 4 pounds, lots of smallmouth bass, a few largemouth, plus the occasional walleye and catfish.

Lake Powell is looking prime right now for just about every species. With sunrise at about 6:06 AM and sunset around 8:21 PM, you have some great long daylight hours to get out and chase fish. The weather looks cooperative today, with clear skies likely and calm winds expected through most of the morning—perfect conditions for both boaters and shoreline anglers. Fishing has been very good to excellent all around the lake lately. Striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are all biting. May is truly one of the best months to fish Powell, and the action proves it. Recent reports show big numbers of stripers, though many are on the smaller side; you’ll need to hunt a bit for the chunky ones. Bass fishing is “spring time good,” meaning they’re aggressive and feeding well along rocky points and coves[4][5]. For lures, throw crankbaits, jerkbaits, and soft plastics for bass. Stripers are hitting well on anchovy chunks and shad-imitating swimbaits, especially in deeper water off points and near the dam. Walleye are responding to crawler harnesses and bottom bouncers. If you’re after panfish like crappie and bluegill, small jigs tipped with a little bit of worm will do the trick. Right now, two hot spots are the Wahweap area near the dam and the stretch between Bullfrog and Halls Crossing. Both have seen consistent action for stripers and bass. If you’re a shore angler, the backs of most canyons are holding active fish in the mornings and evenings. Tidal swings aren’t a factor here, but water elevation is up to about 3558 feet, which means there’s plenty of fresh shoreline to work and some flooded brush to target for bass and crappie[4]. In summary, grab your favorite rod, toss some crankbaits for bass, drop some cut bait for stripers, and don’t be afraid to explore the new shoreline. Lake Powell is fishing hot, and now’s the time to get in on the action. Tight lines, everyone, from your local source Artificial Lure[4][5].

Folks, the spring bite is absolutely on fire right now at Lake Powell! The water temperature has been climbing steadily, and the fish are responding with aggressive feeding patterns throughout the lake[1]. Weather-wise, we're looking at a beautiful day with temperatures expected to reach the mid-70s by afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:12 AM, and we'll have sunlight until about 8:23 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. Winds are light from the southwest at 5-8 mph, perfect conditions for working those coves and points. The fishing has been rated as "very good" to "excellent" all over the lake this past week[5]. Stripers have been particularly active, with schools busting the surface in the early mornings near the main channel. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are in full spawn mode, making them aggressive and territorial around shallow structure. Recent catches have been impressive – anglers are reporting limits of smallmouth in the 2-3 pound range, while stripers averaging 3-5 pounds have been common[1]. Crappie fishing has been exceptional too, with many folks finding schools of these tasty panfish around brush piles and submerged vegetation. For bait and tackle, plastic grubs in watermelon and pumpkin colors have been killing it for bass, especially when rigged on 1/4 oz jig heads. For stripers, try anchovies or cut bait near cliff walls, or white swimbaits if you prefer artificial[5]. Crappie have been hitting small jigs tipped with minnows, particularly in chartreuse and white colors. For hot spots, you'll want to check out Warm Creek Bay where the smallmouth bite has been incredible along the rocky points. Another productive area has been the backs of Navajo Canyon, where largemouth are holding tight to flooded brush. For stripers, try the cliff walls near Antelope Point Marina, especially during the first and last light of the day. Water levels are up from last month, which has flooded some brush and created excellent ambush points for predator fish[1]. The rising water has also triggered feeding frenzies as baitfish get pushed out of newly submerged cover. Don't forget that May is prime time for walleye too, with many being caught on bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawlers along transition areas from sand to rock[5]. That's the scoop for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure reminding you to keep your hooks sharp and your lines tight. Good luck out there on beautiful Lake Powell, and I'll catch you on the next report! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The spring bite is on and the lake is delivering action for anglers from sunup to sundown. Sunrise today came at 6:08 am, and sunset will fall around 8:16 pm. As always, the winds can kick up in the afternoon, so the morning and evening windows are the best bet for a calm surface and hungry fish. Weather-wise, we're enjoying classic May conditions—cool mornings with a bit of breeze, warming into the 70s to low 80s by midday. The water temperature has returned to that magic 60-degree zone, which gets everything in the lake moving and feeding. No tidal swings to factor in here at Lake Powell, so you can plan your efforts around the light and wind. Fish activity has been outstanding across the board. This past week, catches have included stripers, smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, bluegill, catfish, and sunfish. Smallmouth bass have been especially plentiful and aggressive, hitting shallow points, rocky shelves, and submerged tumbleweed cover. Stripers are going wild—they have been schooling tight and biting well all over, especially around the main channel walls and deeper coves. Reports show some stripers are still on the slim side, but there are plenty of fat ones if you chase bait schools and move around a bit[3][4][5]. The best performing lures right now are soft shad swimbaits and fly presentations for bass and stripers. Sencos, single-tail grubs, hula grubs, and tubes are all catching fish, especially when worked along shelves or near submerged brush in the 10 to 15-foot zone[4][5]. Anglers have also scored on heavy grubs bounced along the bottom. For stripers, don't be afraid to get a little flashy with spoons or stickbaits if you see surface boils, as they are actively chasing bait. If you want to soak some bait, anchovies are still the tried-and-true pick for stripers. If you're looking for hot spots, I recommend the canyons near Padre Bay for numbers of smallmouth and stripers, and Warm Creek for multi-species action and less pressure. The main channel walls and the tight slots are also producing well, especially for those willing to move frequently and target active schools. Overall, it's a prime week to get out on Lake Powell. Fish shallow, fish often, and keep your tackle versatile. With the current bite, just about every species is on the menu, and opportunities abound for both quantity and quality catches. Good luck out there and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We have been blessed with classic early May conditions on Lake Powell this week. The weather has been a mix of cool mornings and mild afternoons with calm winds at daybreak, giving way to the expected spring breezes by lunchtime. Sunrise today is at 6:10 AM, with sunset around 8:17 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to chase fish in every cove and canyon. Tides aren’t a factor here, but water levels are holding steady—lake elevation is just a hair under 3,558 feet. Water temps are climbing into that ideal 60-degree range in the shallows, making for an all-out spring bite. Fishing has been nothing short of excellent this week. Stripers are schooling up and feeding aggressively almost everywhere, and we’ve been seeing solid numbers from the dam all the way up to Good Hope Bay. Smallmouth bass have been the most plentiful catch across the lake, especially on rocky shelves and in the tight canyon slots. Largemouth, crappie, bluegill, sunfish, and walleye are all biting as well, giving everyone a shot at a full stringer. The action is hot in the shallows, with fish moving up onto banks and into coves to feed and spawn[3][4][5]. Recent trips are averaging 25 to 50 stripers per day per boat. Best reports for mixed bags—including bass, walleye, and the odd slab crappie—are coming from the backs of warm coves and any rocky structure from 5 to 20 feet deep. The fish are feeding all day thanks to the stable water and warming temps, but the early morning bite is still the best window for the bigger bass. Top baits right now include soft plastics like Sencos, single-tail and hula grubs, tubes, and small swimbaits worked slow along the bottom. For stripers, try anchoring under the schools and using cut bait, but don’t overlook trolling with deep diving crankbaits or vertical jigging spoons when they get active. If you hit a boil, toss out topwater plugs for fast, exciting action[4][5]. For hot spots, you can’t go wrong with the Navajo Canyon for bass and stripers, and the mouth of Last Chance has been giving up good numbers of mixed species. Further up lake, Warm Creek and Bullfrog Bay are excellent choices for variety and less pressured water[5]. That’s your local Lake Powell report for today. The bite is on, the weather is prime, and there’s no better way to spend May than out chasing fish on this beautiful lake. Tight lines and happy fishing from Artificial Lure.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for this beautiful Sunday morning, May 4th, 2025. The sun rose over our gorgeous red rock landscape around 6:15 this morning and will set at about 8:20 tonight, giving us plenty of daylight hours to reel in some beauties. Weather's cooperating nicely with temperatures in the mid-70s and just a light breeze, making for ideal conditions out on the water. Fishing has been absolutely fantastic these past few days! Yesterday and the day before were particularly productive, with anglers reporting excellent catches all across the lake. The water level is holding steady at around 3558 feet elevation as of May 1st. All bass species are hitting what I like to call "spring time good" right now. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are extremely active in the shallows, especially around rocky points and submerged brush. Folks have been having great success with soft plastic crawdads and 4-inch worms in green pumpkin and watermelon colors. Stripers are running in good numbers, though you'll need to be selective to find the quality fish. There are plenty of skinny ones, but the fat ones are definitely worth hunting down. They've been schooling in deeper water near the dam and in Warm Creek Bay. Anchovies are still the go-to bait, but white jerkbaits and spoons are working well for those who prefer casting. Crappie fishing has picked up considerably this week, with nice catches coming from the backs of canyons where there's some brush or structure in about 15-20 feet of water. Small jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket. Don't forget about the walleye! They've been biting well in the early mornings and late evenings. Try trolling worm harnesses along drop-offs or jigging with nightcrawlers in 20-30 feet of water. For hot spots this week, I'd highly recommend Warm Creek Bay for those fat stripers I mentioned. The mouth of Navajo Canyon has been producing some quality smallmouth, and Good Hope Bay has been yielding nice catches of walleye and catfish. Bluegill and catfish are also active, especially for the folks fishing from shore with worms or cut bait. The fishing pier at Wahweap has been a good spot for families looking to catch a mix of species. Remember, folks, May is one of the absolute best times to fish Lake Powell, and this year is proving that rule true! Whether you're after stripers, bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, or walleye, they're all biting right now. Till next time, this is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and happy fishing!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May 3rd, 2025. Let me tell you, we're right in the sweet spot of the season now! May is absolutely prime time for fishing at Powell, with all species actively feeding in the warming waters. Water temps have likely pushed into the high 60s by now, which has really turned on the bite across the lake. The last couple weeks have seen fantastic action for stripers. They're hitting various crankbaits and responding well to vertical jigging techniques. If you're after a cooler full of these tasty predators, don't forget to bring plenty of ice and your fillet knife - keeping these fish helps maintain the lake's forage fish population. Bass fishing has been phenomenal too! Both largemouth and smallmouth are in pre-spawn or early spawn patterns. For largemouths, focus on areas with cover - brush piles, tumbleweeds, and trees where sunfish congregate. Slow presentations still work best, especially early in the day. As for smallmouth, they're hitting the same presentations as stripers, so you might double up while targeting either species. Walleye action has been steady, especially during low light conditions. They're hitting the same cranks and jigs that are producing stripers. For catfish lovers, the night fishing has been incredible! These whiskered beasts aren't picky right now - they'll take crawlers, cut bait, or basically anything you offer them. Don't overlook the crappie and bluegill, which are also biting well this time of year. As for hot spots, check out Wahweap Bay where water temps were last recorded around 57°F but should be considerably warmer by now. The dam area has also been productive for striper anglers using anchovies. The lake level is sitting around 3,558 feet and should be starting to rise as we move deeper into spring. This puts us at a similar level to last year, so areas that were productive then should be good bets now. For today, expect typical early May conditions - likely mild temperatures with some breeze in the afternoon. The fish are hungry and willing, so get out there early and make the most of this prime fishing window! Remember folks, the last weeks of April and all of May is considered one of the absolute best times to fish Lake Powell, and we're right in the middle of that golden period. Tight lines, everyone!

This puts us at a similar level to last year, so areas that were productive then should be good bets now. For today, expect typical early May conditions - likely mild temperatures with some breeze in the afternoon. The fish are hungry and willing, so get out there early and make the most of this prime fishing window! Remember folks, the last weeks of April and all of May is considered one of the absolute best times to fish Lake Powell, and we're right in the middle of that golden period. Tight lines, everyone!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 2nd, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing at Lake Powell is absolutely on fire right now! May is one of the best times to be out on these waters, and this year is proving that rule true once again[2]. The water's warming up nicely after our early spring, and all species are actively feeding throughout the lake. Over the past couple weeks, the stripers have been going absolutely nuts! Captain Bill McBurney reported on April 30th that you'll find plenty of stripers, though you might need to hunt a bit for the fat ones among the smaller fish[3]. They're hitting various cranks and responding well to vertical jigging techniques[2]. If you're looking for a striper bonanza, try fishing into the evening - they've been biting all night long on just about anything you offer them, from crawlers to cut bait[2]. Bass fishing is spring-time good right now! Both largemouth and smallmouth are extremely active in the shallows[5]. Anglers have been having great success fishing outside coves and inside tight slots along canyon walls[5]. The smallmouth have been most plentiful, but the largemouth are definitely worth targeting too. Don't overlook the other species either - crappie, bluegill, catfish, and walleye are all ripe for the taking[2][5]. Walleye have been hitting the same presentations as the stripers, so you might double up on your catches with the right approach[2]. For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out some of the canyon arms where fish tend to concentrate this time of year. Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon have been producing consistently. Also worth trying are the rocky points near Wahweap Marina if you're launching from there. Lure-wise, crankbaits have been money for stripers and walleye. For bass, try soft plastics like Senkos or drop shots around structure. If you're bait fishing, nightcrawlers and cut bait have been effective for catfish and stripers after dark[2]. The weather's getting warmer, but it's still comfortable enough to fish all day long, and the fish are cooperating throughout daylight hours[5]. Morning and evening bites have been particularly strong. So grab your tackle box, clean up those rods, and head on out to Lake Powell! With all species actively feeding, you're bound to have a fantastic day on the water. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see y'all on the lake!

This is Artificial Lure, your local fishing expert, bringing you the latest report for April 30, 2025. The lake is alive this spring and anglers are seeing solid action on all fronts. We kicked off the day with calm conditions and cool temperatures in the low 50s at sunrise, which was at 6:14 a.m. Expect things to warm up into the upper 70s by afternoon, with clear skies and only a light breeze. Sunset comes at 8:01 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight for a long day on the water. There’s no tidal influence here since Lake Powell is a reservoir. Onto the fishing. Walleye are starting to wake up and April through May is prime time. Big females are still on the hunt for shad and can be found in green to muddy water, especially in the coves and along the shoreline breaks[1]. For walleye, use chartreuse or white curly-tailed jigs tipped with a worm or a minnow. Trolling crankbaits just above the bottom is also producing fish. Striped bass are running strong this week. Anglers have picked up dozens in the 3 to 6-pound range, with a few whoppers over 20 pounds showing up recently[2]. The best lure has been anchovies on cut bait rigs, but if you like casting and moving, try silver or chrome slab spoons and small swimbaits. Work them slowly in deeper water near the dam and main channel changes. The morning and pre-dusk bite has been best. Smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are both active and cruising the shallows. Plastics like tube jigs, senkos, and drop-shot rigs in natural colors are pulling in both species. Target rocky points, submerged islands, and brush piles. Smallmouth in particular are stacking up in the 10-20 foot range, with plenty of fish in the 1 to 2-pound class[3]. For largemouth, stay shallow and fish weedier coves. Don’t overlook the channel catfish. Night fishing is picking up as the water warms. The hot ticket is smelly bait—anchovies, chicken liver, or even table scraps get the job done. Most cats are in the 2 to 4-pound range, with the best action around sandy, shallow flats, especially after dusk[5]. For hot spots, check out the stretch around Wahweap Bay near the marina for striped bass and walleye, and head up to Padre Bay for smallmouth bass and channel catfish. Both areas have produced strong numbers this week and offer easy access by boat. That’s your report from Lake Powell today. Tight lines and good luck out there.

Lake Powell is seeing ideal spring conditions, with the weather cool in the mornings and warming up into the high 60s and low 70s by afternoon. Winds are forecast to be gentle today, around 5 to 10 mph, and skies will be mostly sunny. Sunrise came at 6:28 am and sunset will be at 8:01 pm, giving a long window for those early and late bites. As usual, there are no tides here, so focus on the weather and time of day for your best fishing opportunities. Fish activity is excellent with water temps rising into the 50s and 60s, putting both predator and panfish species on the hunt. Striped bass are still the main draw and have been caught in good numbers lately. There are reports of multiple limits of stripers weighing 2 to 5 pounds, and even a few big ones topping 20 pounds caught in deeper water by trolling or bait fishing. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are also turning on as they move shallow to spawn. Anglers are catching smallmouth up to 3 pounds and a few chunky largemouths closer to the brush and rocky coves[2][3][4]. If you are targeting striped bass, anchovies are tough to beat—fished deep in the main channel or at the mouths of major side canyons. Try chunking bait near structure or along steep drop-offs. For those who prefer casting, white or silver swimbaits and jerkbaits are landing plenty of stripers, especially in the early morning or late evening. If you are after smallmouth and largemouth, soft plastic tubes, Ned rigs, and crankbaits in shad or crayfish patterns are working very well along rocky points and submerged ledges. Bass are hitting best from late morning through mid-afternoon. Now, with the water warming up, bluegill and crappie are showing up in numbers around shallow brush piles and flooded vegetation. Use small jigs, glow body or chartreuse colors tipped with worm, or a mealworm for fast panfish action[4]. Some hot spots to try today include the stretch between Navajo Canyon and Antelope Point, which is producing big numbers of stripers, as well as Bullfrog Bay for mixed bag action on bass, stripers, and panfish. Warm Creek Bay is another consistent producer this time of year, especially for bass working the shallows. Walleye are just starting to get active, especially where the water has a green tint or some stain. Try trolling deep-diving crankbaits in the early morning or late evening for your best chance[1]. That’s the scoop for Lake Powell today. Good luck out there, and don’t forget to handle those trophy fish with care for a quick release. Tight lines!

It’s a gorgeous spring morning with sunrise at about 6:35 AM and sunset set for 8:07 PM. Weather’s mild—expect highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, with a light breeze out of the southwest. No tidal influence here since it’s a man-made reservoir, so focus on those changing light conditions instead. Fishing activity has been consistent across the board lately. The stripers are biting—multiple reports of striped bass in the 3- to 5-pound range, with a few larger ones tipping the scales above 20 pounds caught last week. Anglers have also been landing smallmouth and largemouth bass, mostly in the 2- to 4-pound range, and the walleye bite is picking up as water temps climb. Channel catfish have been steady, especially during evening hours, and don’t overlook those bluegill if you’ve got kids along—there are some real slabbers up to a pound or two that’ll keep little rods bent all day long. Striped bass are schooling up around deeper points and canyon walls. The best lure this week has been silver or white swimbaits, soft plastics on jig heads, and the tried-and-true anchovy chunk for bait. If you want numbers, troll or cast along the main channel between Wahweap and Antelope Point. For smallmouth bass, target rocky shorelines and submerged structure—tube jigs, Ned rigs, and 3-inch grubs in green pumpkin or brown have been the top producers. If you’re after largemouth, work the brushy coves and use spinnerbaits or Texas-rigged worms. Walleye are hitting best on crawler harnesses and paddle-tail swimbaits, especially in slightly stained water. For catfish, stick to shallow, sandy flats in the evening or right after dark. Stinky bait is the secret—anchovies, chicken liver, or even table scraps will do the trick. The hot spots by local word are the backs of Warm Creek Bay and the Lone Rock area for cats, while Bullfrog Marina and the mouth of Navajo Canyon are producing quality stripers and bass. Remember, as April rolls along conditions can shift fast, so check water clarity and adjust your lure color. With the lake warming up, fish are getting more active by the day. Practice good catch and release, and keep it safe out there. Tight lines from Artificial Lure—see you on the water!

The lake is welcoming anglers with classic spring conditions: clear skies, temps climbing from the upper 50s into the low 70s as the day goes on, and light winds making for smooth water. Sunrise happened at 6:06 AM and you’ve got till sunset at 7:39 PM to chase those bites. No tides to worry about here at Lake Powell, so you can really focus on the fish and the fun without watching a clock or a tide chart. Right now, the water temps are holding steady around 55 to 60 degrees. That’s juicing up the fish activity across the board. Stripers are moving in schools and feeding hard in the early morning, especially in the main channel and around deeper points. Recent catches are averaging solid, with plenty of fish in the 3 to 4 pound range and the occasional beast that’ll test your drag[2][4][5]. Smallmouth bass are locked on rocky points in 20 to 30 foot depths, with the bite most aggressive when the sun is lower. Largemouth are a little more scattered but keying in on brush and submerged structure in coves. Walleye are showing up alongside the bass around rock slides and points, especially for folks trolling early or late[3][5]. Catfish and crappie are also active, especially after dark, so night owls can still fill a stringer[5]. As for what’s working best, you can’t go wrong with shad-patterned crankbaits, jerkbaits, and soft plastics if you’re chasing bass or stripers. Vertically jigging spoons and using cut bait or nightcrawlers is producing well for both stripers and catfish. If you’re targeting walleye, stick to smaller crankbaits or work a nightcrawler rig close to the bottom. For crappie, small jigs tipped with minnows are always a classic choice[5]. If you want to maximize your chances, head to these hot spots: - The area around Antelope Point is loaded up with active striper and smallmouth schools right now. - Navajo Canyon is another go-to for both bass species and some sneaky good crappie action. - If you’re after consistent bites and don’t mind some company, the mouth of Warm Creek is hard to beat this week. All told, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic weekend on Lake Powell, with plenty of action for everyone from the bank angler to the seasoned boater. Good luck out there, keep your lines tight, and don’t forget to enjoy that unbeatable Lake Powell scenery[1][2][3][4][5].

If you’re an angler itching for pre-summer action, you picked a stellar day to hit these canyon waters. Sunrise was just after 6:30 this morning and sunset will be about 8:00 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to work those rocky coves and winding main channels. No tides to worry about here, just the daily rhythm of warming water and busy fish. Weather today is classic desert spring: clear skies, a light breeze, and highs pushing the mid-70s. Water temperatures are climbing into the mid-to-upper 50s, and that’s putting the bass bite squarely in the hot zone[1][7][8]. Fishing has been fair to good all week. Smallmouth bass are thick along the rocky shorelines and points, with plenty coming in on single tail grubs, smoke or watermelon colors, and tubes worked down to 20-30 feet. Later in the morning, white and chartreuse plastics have been picking up the slack as the light grows. Largemouth are pushing shallow to spawn right now; work flats with broken rock or brush with spinnerbaits, plastic grubs, or a black and blue jig-n-pig for some chunky bass[4][8][7]. Crappie are also on the move. Look for brushy pockets in the backs of canyons and toss small jigs or tubes. Bluegill are turning up in shallows on crickets or red worms[9]. Striped bass are starting to stage for their big spring move. Anglers are reporting early morning “boils” in the main channel, especially from Antelope Point up toward Navajo Canyon, around first light. If you spot stripers breaking on shad, throw shad-pattern rattle traps, topwater poppers, or spoons right through the action. Otherwise, trolling crankbaits or fishing cut anchovy in 40-60 feet is putting plenty in the box. Now’s a great time to target stripers since there’s no limit[8][9][1]. Walleye are still scattered but showing up for folks trolling crankbaits and bottom bouncers tipped with nightcrawlers, especially near rocky points as the water warms[5][9]. Catfish are always a standby: toss anchovies, hot dogs or table scraps off your houseboat or a sandy cove and you’re almost sure to get action after dark[7][9][6]. Two hot spots worth your time right now: First, Antelope Point to Navajo Canyon for those early morning striper and smallmouth boils. Second, the rocky shorelines and points near Bullfrog Marina, where bass and crappie are staged up and hungry[8][10]. So bring the grubs, toss a few anchovies on ice, and get out there. Spring’s firing up at Lake Powell and the fish are definitely cooperating. Tight lines from Artificial Lure, see you on the water.

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 07:33:28 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure reporting from Lake Powell on a crisp spring morning, April 18, 2025. If you’re an angler itching for pre-summer action, you picked a stellar day to hit these canyon waters. Sunrise was just after 6:30 this morning and sunset will be about 8:00 tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to work those rocky coves and winding main channels. No tides to worry about here, just the daily rhythm of warming water and busy fish. Weather today is classic desert spring: clear skies, a light breeze, and highs pushing the mid-70s. Water temperatures are climbing into the mid-to-upper 50s, and that’s putting the bass bite squarely in the hot zone[1][7][8]. Fishing has been fair to good all week. Smallmouth bass are thick along the rocky shorelines and points, with plenty coming in on single tail grubs, smoke or watermelon colors, and tubes worked down to 20-30 feet. Later in the morning, white and chartreuse plastics have been picking up the slack as the light grows. Largemouth are pushing shallow to spawn right now; work flats with broken rock or brush with spinnerbaits, plastic grubs, or a black and blue jig-n-pig for some chunky bass[4][8][7]. Crappie are also on the move. Look for brushy pockets in the backs of canyons and toss small jigs or tubes. Bluegill are turning up in shallows on crickets or red worms[9].

First light came at 6:23 this morning, and you’ll have daylight until 8:03 tonight. The skies are clear, with calm conditions and gentle breezes making for a picture-perfect spring day out on Powell. Water temps are holding steady around 55 to 60 degrees in most arms and main channels. No tides to worry about here, just those daily breezes picking up a bit after lunch. But overall, ideal conditions for anglers. Fish activity is hot and only getting better this week as the water warms up. The bite has started early, especially for stripers near the surface during the morning hours. Smallmouth bass are thick along the rocky points and shelves in 20 to 30 feet of water. Reports from the last couple of days show healthy stringers—striped bass in the three to five-pound range, plenty of feisty smallmouth, and a few largemouth bass in the warmer coves. Catfish and some nice crappie have also been added to the mix. If you’re targeting stripers, shad-imitating crankbaits and rattle traps are working well. The classic anchovy bite is on, especially around the dam, the pump station, and the mouths of main canyons. Trolling with whole anchovies or running shad-imitating lures deep has been pulling in limits for a lot of folks. For smallmouth, think single-tail grubs or tube baits in smoke or watermelon color, fished tight to the rocks or points. Largemouth are starting to show in coves with warmer water and plenty of sun. For catfish, anchovies or even cut hot dog on a Carolina rig in sandy shallows can’t be beat. Crappie are hitting small jigs or bright soft plastics around submerged brush and timber in the coves. Some hot spots to check out: Wahweap Bay always produces, especially at sunrise for stripers and smallmouth. Early morning striper boils have been seen near the mouth of Navajo Canyon, so get there by six if you want in on that action. Padre Bay is another go-to for big stripers, and Bullfrog Basin near the marina is a top pick for bass and crappie. If you want to get away from the crowds, the San Juan Arm is worth the journey for both bass and catfish. If you haven’t already, get your Utah fishing license squared away before hitting the water, and remember, regulations are in place to keep this fishery thriving. The water is clear, the fish are biting, and today’s conditions are just about perfect. Get out there, keep your line wet, and enjoy spring on Lake Powell.

It’s April 14, 2025, and we’re set for another fantastic day of fishing on the stunning waters of Lake Powell. Here’s your detailed fishing report to help you reel in the big ones. The weather today is shaping up nicely, with clear skies and mild spring temperatures around 60–70°F. Winds are light, making conditions ideal for fishing. Sunrise occurred at 6:06 AM, and you’ll have daylight until 7:39 PM, providing plenty of hours to wet your line. Note that Lake Powell is not influenced by tidal fluctuations, so you won’t have to worry about coordinating with changing tides. Lake Powell’s waters are teeming with fish right now, with species like striped bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, channel catfish, and crappie being the most active. Recent fishing reports indicate smallmouth bass have been hitting hard on rocky points at depths of 20–30 feet, particularly in the main channel. Striped bass have been found cruising in schools, and early morning offers the best chance to catch them as they feed actively. The average size of stripers caught recently has been 3–4 lbs, but trophy-sized fish are always possible. Recommended lures and baits to maximize your success include: - **Striped Bass:** Shad-imitating lures like rattle traps and crankbaits have been highly effective, especially in shad colors (pearl, chartreuse, or silver). Anchovies are also classic bait for stripers. - **Smallmouth Bass:** Smoke or watermelon-colored single-tail grubs on 1/8 to 3/16 oz jig heads are a great choice for working rocky points. - **Largemouth Bass:** Try soft plastic worms in red or purple, rigged drop-shot style. Spider jigs and Carolina rigs also work well near submerged tumbleweeds. - **Walleye:** Use chartreuse-colored flicker shads or bottom-bouncing rigs with live bait such as nightcrawlers. - **Channel Catfish:** Anchovies, hot dogs, and table scraps on Carolina rigs are your go-to for catfish, especially near sandy or shallow areas. Recent catches include a variety of species, with smallmouth bass being the most plentiful. Striped bass are being caught consistently in deeper waters, while crappie and bluegill are biting well in areas with submerged brush. Anglers have reported catching up to four different species at some spots on the same lure! For hotspots, consider these two locations: 1. **Navajo Canyon to Antelope Point Marina:** This stretch has seen some early morning striper boils. Bring a topwater popper set up and watch for surface activity. 2. **Rocky Points in the Main Channel:** Smallmouth bass are holding at depths of 25–30 feet. Slow your presentation and focus on submerged rocks for the best action. Whether you’re in search of striped bass, walleye, or bass, today’s conditions are perfect for a memorable day on the water.

As of early morning, the weather around the area is calm and clear, with temperatures expected to climb to a comfortable 65°F by midday. Winds are mild, making it a perfect day to be out on the water. Sunrise today was at 6:20 AM, and sunset will be at 7:38 PM, giving plenty of daylight for a full day of fishing. Water temperatures in the lake are gradually warming, currently hovering around 60°F in Wahweap and other popular fishing regions. These conditions are enticing for many species of fish, particularly smallmouth bass and striped bass, which are very active this time of year. Smallmouth bass tend to congregate around rocky points in 20-30 feet of water, while striped bass are active in deeper waters and can be caught using trolling techniques or bait like anchovies. Recent fishing activity reports confirm strong yields. Smallmouth bass remain the most abundant catch, but striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and even walleye have been biting well. Reports indicate healthy catches of stripers weighing 3-5 pounds, with some trophy fish caught in deeper waters using trolling rigs. Anglers have also reported success using crankbaits, shad-colored lures, and single-tail grubs in smoke or watermelon colors. For catfish, anchovies and even table scraps work wonders in shallow sandy areas. If you're looking for hot spots, consider heading to the main channel near Wahweap Bay or the mouth of Navajo Canyon. Early morning striper boils have been sighted in these areas, especially from 6:00 to 8:00 AM. Another excellent spot is near submerged rocks and cliffs, where smallmouth bass seem to be abundant this spring. Submerged canyons and rocky shelves are also prime zones for largemouth bass and walleye. Bait and lure recommendations for today are straightforward: - **For stripers:** Shad-imitating crankbaits, rattle traps, or trolling rigs with anchovies. - **For smallmouth bass:** Single-tail grubs, especially in smoke or watermelon, and tube baits fished near rocky points. - **For catfish:** Anchovies, hot dogs, or a Carolina rig with lightweight bait in 5-15 feet of water. - **For crappie:** Small jigs in natural colors or bright shades for murkier waters. With water levels stabilizing after the spring runoff, access to launch points is excellent, particularly Wahweap Marina. Anglers should take advantage of the calm conditions and abundant fish activity to make the most of this beautiful spring day on Lake Powell. Tight lines!

With great spring weather and active fish, now’s the time to get out on the water. The sunrise today was at 6:17 AM, and sunset will be at 7:34 PM, giving you ample daylight to reel in your catches. The weather forecast shows clear skies with a high of 68°F and mild southwest winds at 5–10 mph, creating ideal fishing conditions. The lake's water temperature is warming, hovering around 60°F, which is sparking active feeding among many fish species. Fish activity is high this time of year, particularly for striped bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and walleye. Anglers recently reported a solid striped bass bite near Wahweap Bay and the dam. Use cut anchovies or shad-imitating crankbaits for best results. Smallmouth bass are schooling near rocky shorelines in 20–30 feet of water; single-tail grubs in smoke or watermelon colors are highly effective. Meanwhile, largemouth bass are migrating to shallow, sunlit coves to spawn and are hitting on jerk baits and tube jigs. Walleye catches are picking up as well, especially in shaded areas near cliff walls—try bottom-bouncing rigs with nightcrawlers. Reports from the past week show successful outings with solid catches of striped bass averaging 3–5 pounds, smallmouth bass in the 1–2-pound range, and the occasional trophy-sized walleye. Crappie have also been active in the backs of brushy canyons; small jigs or nightcrawlers suspended beneath a bobber are working great for these panfish. For bait and lures, anchovies remain a go-to for striped bass, while crankbaits and rattling lures like the Rapala Shad Rap are versatile choices for multiple species. For panfish and bluegill, small spinners, crickets, and red worms are effective. When fishing deeper water for walleye or smallmouth bass, opt for heavy jigs or tube baits in natural colors. Two hot spots to check out today include Wahweap Bay for striped bass and Padre Bay for a mix of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Additionally, the San Juan Arm is excellent for fishing, particularly for crappie and walleye. If you're targeting catfish, head to sandy-bottomed areas near shallow coves in the evening, using table scraps or anchovies for bait. With no catch limits on striped bass and walleye, you can load up your cooler. Just make sure you have your Utah or Arizona fishing license, depending on where you plan to fish on the lake.

The lake continues to be a hotspot for striped bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. Recent reports indicate that smallmouth bass are particularly active, with many anglers finding success along rocky points and submerged structures in 20-30 feet of water. Striped bass are also moving into shallower waters during the early morning hours before retreating to depths of 60-90 feet later in the day. Hotspots to consider include: 1. Wahweap Bay: Great for smallmouth bass near rocky points and striped bass trolling in deeper channels. Early morning striper boils have been spotted here. 2. Bullfrog Bay: Known for producing mixed catches of largemouth bass and channel catfish. For the best results, try these techniques and lures: - **Striped bass**: Use cut anchovies or shad-colored crankbaits. Early morning striper boils are perfect for topwater lures like poppers. - **Smallmouth bass**: Single-tail grubs or Ned rigs in smoke or watermelon colors are highly effective. Jig heads weighing 1/8 to 3/16 oz are ideal for rocky areas. - **Largemouth bass**: Use soft plastic worms on a Carolina rig near submerged brush or jigging along cliff walls. Jerk baits and topwater lures also work in shaded areas during low-light conditions. - **Channel catfish**: Night crawlers, anchovies, or table scraps fished near sandy shallows continue to yield reliable catches. Notable catches this week include a 28-inch channel catfish and several strong runs of striped bass in the main channel. Black crappie and bluegill were also caught in small numbers near brushy coves, with crickets and micro jigs being the go-to bait. Overall, fishing on Lake Powell is in fine form as the water temperatures warm and fish become more active.

Weather for the day includes partly cloudy skies, moderate winds, and temperatures hovering around 60°F, with sunrise at 6:07 AM and sunset at 7:48 PM. Recent catches include smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. For smallmouth, anglers have had luck using shad-colored Ned rigs in 20 feet of water. As water temperatures rise, smallmouth activity on rocky points at 25-30 feet deep is increasing, with single-tail grubs and tube jigs in smoke and watermelon colors proving successful. Walleye are feeding post-spawn, favoring techniques like trolling bottom bouncers or working curly tail grubs with a worm near the bottom. Notable walleye action has been reported in Wahweap Bay near dusk. Striped bass, while more variable in location, have been responding well to cut anchovies around the dam and spoons or shad-imitating crankbaits in the backs of canyons such as Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek. Striper conditions are mixed, with some fish in great shape and others leaner, but it remains a productive time to catch them as they move towards spawning grounds. Striped bass are also being caught deeper in the main channel by anglers using sonar to locate schools. For those seeking other species, channel catfish are best found in the shallow sandy flats and can be caught using anchovies or scraps as bait. Crappie are beginning to spawn and are concentrated in flooded brush in the backs of canyons, where small jigs or nightcrawlers under a bobber are effective. Top fishing spots include Wahweap Bay for walleye, the dam and Navajo Canyon for striped bass, and main channel rocky points for smallmouth bass. For the best success, anglers should focus on mornings or evenings when fish activity typically peaks. Bring along your cut anchovies, shad-colored lures, tube jigs, and bottom bouncers, and prepare for an action-filled day.

The weather is mild and calm, with morning temperatures starting around 50°F and highs reaching into the mid-70s.

Walleye are also biting as they move into post-spawn feeding mode. Target them at dusk in green or muddy water near canyon backs using trolling deep divers, jerkbaits, or Ned rigs tipped with worms. Wahweap Bay has been a productive spot. For largemouth bass, focus on shallow areas with brush or broken rocks. They’re in their spawning phase, making April a prime time to catch them. Plastic grubs, spider jigs, and spinnerbaits are excellent bait options. If you're chasing crappie, find them in flooded brush near canyon backs.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 31, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a jalapeno in July! First off, we don't have tides to worry about here on Lake Powell, but the water level's been holding steady at around 3,570 feet. Sunrise was at 6:14 AM and sunset's coming up at 7:41 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones. Weather-wise, we're looking at a beautiful spring day with highs around 75°F and a light breeze from the southwest. Perfect conditions for getting out on the water! Now, let's talk fish. The stripers have been going absolutely bonkers lately! We've been seeing some killer boils in the early mornings, especially up in Rock Creek Canyon. Anglers have been hauling in 20-30 stripers per trip, with some real lunkers in the 10-15 pound range. Smallmouth bass fishing has been on fire too. They've been hitting hard on rocky points and submerged structures. I've heard reports of folks catching 50+ smallies in a day, with quite a few in the 3-4 pound class. For you walleye enthusiasts, the bite's starting to pick up as we head into spring. Best action's been in the deeper channels near Bullfrog Marina, with some nice 5-6 pounders coming in. As for lures, you can't go wrong with a white Rattletrap for those stripers. They've been absolutely crushing it! For smallmouth, try a 5-inch curly tail grub in watermelon or smoke color. And if you're after walleye, a bottom-bouncing rig with a nightcrawler has been the ticket. If you're more of a bait fisherman, anchovies are still the go-to for stripers. Cut 'em up and fish 'em on the bottom for best results. For hot spots, I'd recommend hitting up Wahweap Bay near Page, Arizona. It's been producing some monster stripers lately. If you're up for a bit of a run, head to the back of Warm Creek Bay. The smallmouth fishing there has been out of this world! Remember folks, the limit on smallmouth is still 20 per day, but there's no limit on stripers, so fill your coolers! That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off.

Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a jalapeno in July! Now, we don't have tides to worry about here on Powell, but the lake level's sittin' pretty at 3,570 feet. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM and sunset's gonna be at 7:42 PM, givin' us plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones. Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a beautiful day with highs around 75°F and a light breeze from the southwest. Perfect conditions for some topwater action! Speaking of action, the fish have been more active than a one-armed paper hanger! Stripers are still the main attraction, with schools boilin' up all over the main channel. Some folks have been hauling in 20-30 fish per day, with the biggest ones tipping the scales at 22 pounds. The hot lure for stripers has been the Rattletrap in a shad pattern, but don't overlook the trusty anchovy if you're looking to fill the cooler. Smallmouth bass fishing has been phenomenal too. These bronzebacks are hitting hard on Ned rigs and small crankbaits. Best colors have been watermelon and smoke for the soft plastics, and anything with a blue back for the cranks. I've been hearing reports of 4-5 pounders being caught regularly. Walleye fishing picked up this past week, with some nice eaters in the 2-3 pound range. Try slow-rolling a nightcrawler harness along points and drop-offs in 15-25 feet of water. For you catfish enthusiasts, the channels have been biting well after dark. Throw out some cut bait or stink bait near rocky shorelines and hang on! As for hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been on fire for stripers, and the back of Navajo Canyon is producing some chunky smallies. If you're looking for a mixed bag, try fishing the rock piles near Antelope Point Marina. Remember, folks, the limit on stripers and walleye is unlimited, so feel free to keep what you can use. For everything else, check your regs and practice catch and release when you can. That's all for now, anglers.

Some folks have been hauling in 20-30 fish per day, with the biggest ones tipping the scales at 22 pounds. The hot lure for stripers has been the Rattletrap in a shad pattern, but don't overlook the trusty anchovy if you're looking to fill the cooler. Smallmouth bass fishing has been phenomenal too. These bronzebacks are hitting hard on Ned rigs and small crankbaits. Best colors have been watermelon and smoke for the soft plastics, and anything with a blue back for the cranks. I've been hearing reports of 4-5 pounders being caught regularly. Walleye fishing picked up this past week, with some nice eaters in the 2-3 pound range. Try slow-rolling a nightcrawler harness along points and drop-offs in 15-25 feet of water. For you catfish enthusiasts, the channels have been biting well after dark. Throw out some cut bait or stink bait near rocky shorelines and hang on! As for hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been on fire for stripers, and the back of Navajo Canyon is producing some chunky smallies. If you're looking for a mixed bag, try fishing the rock piles near Antelope Point Marina. Remember, folks, the limit on stripers and walleye is unlimited, so feel free to keep what you can use. For everything else, check your regs and practice catch and release when you can. That's all for now, anglers.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 29, 2025. First off, let's talk conditions. We're looking at a beautiful spring day with highs around 70°F and lows in the mid-50s. Winds are light at 5-10 mph, perfect for getting out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:24 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. No tides to worry about on this big ol' reservoir, but water levels are up about 3 feet from last month. Now, onto the fishing! The bass bite has been on fire lately, especially for smallmouth. Anglers have been having great luck with 3-4 pounders, with a few 5+ pound lunkers mixed in. The stripers are starting to school up too, with some nice boils being spotted in the early mornings and late evenings. For lures, you can't go wrong with a Ned rig for those smallies. I've been killing it with the Z-Man TRD in green pumpkin. For stripers, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits like the Rapala DT-16 in shad patterns. If you spot a boil, cast a Zara Spook or similar topwater lure right into the frenzy. As for bait, anchovies are always a solid choice for stripers. Cut bait or nightcrawlers will work well for catfish, which have been biting pretty good in the evenings. Hot spots this week include Warm Creek Bay for smallmouth and the main channel near Antelope Point for stripers. The back of Navajo Canyon has been producing some nice largemouth too. Remember, there's no limit on stripers, so feel free to keep as many as you want. They're great eating when they're fresh! That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines!

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 28, 2025. The weather's been treating us right lately, with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties. Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides, but water levels have been rising lately due to some fantastic spring runoff. The lake's up about 60 feet from last year, which means more shoreline to explore and new structure for fish to hide in. Fishing's been heating up, folks! Stripers, smallmouth bass, and walleye have all been active lately. We've been seeing some nice catches, with stripers in the 3-4 pound range being pretty common. A lucky angler even landed a 22-pounder last November, so those big ones are still out there! For you striper hunters, try using cut anchovies or shad-colored crankbaits. The stripers have been hanging out in water about 30 to 80 feet deep, especially near river inlets like the Colorado and Dirty Devil arms. If you're after smallmouth, single tail grubs in smoke or watermelon color have been doing the trick. They're loving those rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Walleye fishing's been picking up too. Try trolling with bottom bouncers trailing spinners with a worm. They've been biting best in the early morning and late evening. As for hot spots, Bullfrog Bay's been producing some nice catches lately, especially for bass and crappie. If you're feeling adventurous, head up to the San Juan arm. It's a bit of a journey, but the fishing's been excellent, and you can't beat the scenery. Remember, folks, there's no limit on stripers or walleye, so feel free to keep what you catch. Just make sure you've got your Utah fishing license if you're on the Utah side of the lake. That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines to ya!

Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a desert sidewalk in July! Sunrise was at 6:23 AM and sunset's coming at 6:48 PM. Weather's been picture perfect - sunny skies, highs around 75°F, and just a whisper of a breeze. Water temp's sitting pretty at 64°F. Now, onto the good stuff. Stripers have been going absolutely bonkers lately. Just last week, some lucky angler hauled in a 22-pounder near Wahweap Marina. They're schooling up in the main channel, especially around rock piles and submerged points. Best bet is to troll with shad-colored crankbaits or jig with anchovies in 30-60 feet of water. Smallmouth bass fishing has been on fire too. They're hanging out near rocky shorelines and points in 15-25 feet of water. Ned rigs in watermelon color or small jerkbaits have been doing the trick. One fella I know caught and released over 50 in a single day! For you walleye hunters, they've been biting well in the early mornings and late evenings. Try slow-trolling nightcrawler harnesses or jigging with minnows near the mouth of the Escalante River. Catfish have been active at night, especially around Warm Creek Bay. Stinkbaits or cut anchovies on the bottom are your best bet. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Warm Creek Bay for a mixed bag of stripers and smallmouth, or head up to Bullfrog Bay for some trophy walleye action.

The sun's peeking over the horizon at 6:42 AM, and we've got a beautiful day ahead of us with highs around 70°F and light winds. Sunset's at 7:36 PM, giving you plenty of time to reel in some beauties. Now, let's talk fish. The stripers have been on fire lately, folks! We've had reports of 22-pounders being pulled out just a few months back[1]. These big boys are hungry and ready for action. Your best bet for stripers is to hit the main channel from Antelope Point Marina to the mouth of Navajo Canyon early in the morning. Keep an eye out for those surface boils between 6:00 and 8:00 AM[3]. For you bass enthusiasts, both smallmouth and largemouth are biting well. The smallies are hanging out on main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads are doing the trick, with smoke and watermelon colors being the hot ticket[3]. Now, if you're after some tasty walleye, February through April is prime time[9]. They've been hitting on chartreuse-colored Berkley Flicker Shad #7 lures. For you catfish lovers, summer and fall are your seasons. You can even catch 'em right off the back of your houseboat from June through October[9]. Lure-wise, we're seeing great results with the Z-Man 3" Ned rig for bass – color doesn't seem to matter much with these[10]. For topwater action, the Lucky Craft Sammy 65 in shad color has been killer[10]. And don't forget your crankbaits – they're simple but effective for stripers and bass alike[8]. As for hot spots, folks have been having luck in Wahweap Bay and around Bullfrog Bay. If you're feeling adventurous, head up to the San Juan arm for some epic striper boils[3]. Remember, the lake level's sitting at about 3,620 feet, so watch out for those submerged hazards. And hey, if you catch a tagged walleye, you might just win yourself a prize[11]!

The striped bass bite has been heating up lately. Anglers have been reporting good success trolling deep-diving crankbaits in shad patterns near the main channel walls. Some hefty 20+ pounders have been landed in the past week. The smallmouth bass action is picking up too, with fish moving into shallower water as it warms up. Ned rigs and drop-shot setups with small plastic worms have been producing well. For you catfish enthusiasts, the channel cats are starting to get more active. Folks have been having luck fishing cut bait or nightcrawlers on the bottom in coves and backwaters. If you're after walleye, try slow-trolling bottom bouncers with nightcrawler harnesses early in the morning or late evening. They've been biting pretty well in the 15-25 foot depth range. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Warm Creek Bay or the back of Navajo Canyon. Both areas have been producing a nice mixed bag of species lately. Bait-wise, anchovies are always a good bet for stripers. For artificial lures, I'd make sure to have some rattletraps, shad-colored crankbaits, and plastic grubs in your tackle box.

Smallmouth bass action is picking up too, especially around rocky points and drop-offs. Throw some green pumpkin jigs or dropshot a 4-inch finesse worm, and you'll be in business. Walleye fishing has been steady, with most catches coming in the early morning or late evening. Try trolling with nightcrawler harnesses or jigging with minnows in 15-25 feet of water. Some nice crappie have been showing up in the backs of canyons, particularly in Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon. Small jigs tipped with crappie nibbles are doing the trick. For you catfish enthusiasts, channel cats are starting to get more active as the water warms up. Stinkbaits and cut anchovies fished on the bottom in coves are your best bet. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Padre Bay for some striper action or heading up to Good Hope Bay for a mix of smallmouth and walleye.

Stripers are still mostly deep, but we're seeing some schools busting shad up on the surface in the early mornings. Walleye fishing's been decent too, especially for you night owls out there. For lures, you can't go wrong with a drop shot rig and a 4-inch finesse worm for those smallies. Shad-colored crankbaits and spinnerbaits are working well too. For stripers, try trolling deep-diving plugs or jigging spoons in 30-50 feet. If you're looking for some hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been producing well for smallmouth, and the back of Navajo Canyon is holding some nice largemouth.

Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides being a freshwater reservoir, but water levels have been holding steady lately. Good news for us fishermen! Fish activity has been ramping up as we head into spring. Striped bass are starting to school up, with some nice boils reported in the early mornings and late afternoons. Smallmouth bass are getting more aggressive too, moving into shallower water to feed. This past week, anglers have been hauling in good numbers of stripers in the 2-5 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. Smallmouth bass fishing has been solid, with most folks catching 10-20 fish per day in the 1-3 pound class. A few nice largemouth have been caught too, though not as numerous as the smallies. For stripers, you can't go wrong with white or chartreuse crankbaits that dive 10-15 feet. The Rapala Shad Rap in shad colors has been money. If you're after smallmouth, try dragging a dropshot rig with a 4-inch Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm in green pumpkin. For largemouth, flippin' a jig with a craw trailer into brush has been producing some quality bites. Live bait isn't allowed in Powell, so we're all throwing artificial here. But if you're looking for the next best thing, try soaking some Berkley Gulp! Minnows on a dropshot rig. Those things work almost as well as the real deal. For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the back of Warm Creek Bay for some smallmouth action. The rock walls near Antelope Point have been holding some nice stripers too. Just keep an eye out for those telltale surface boils! That's all for now, folks. Remember to practice catch and release when you can, and let's keep Powell fishing great for years to come.

Weather's looking mighty fine today - sunny skies with highs around 75°F and a light breeze from the southwest. Water temp's sitting at a comfortable 62°F. Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides being a freshwater reservoir, but water levels have been holding steady lately. Good news for us fishermen! Fish activity has been ramping up as we head into spring. Striped bass are starting to school up, with some nice boils reported in the early mornings and late afternoons. Smallmouth bass are getting more aggressive too, moving into shallower water to feed. This past week, anglers have been hauling in good numbers of stripers in the 2-5 pound range, with a few lunkers over 10 pounds reported. Smallmouth bass fishing has been solid, with most folks catching 10-20 fish per day in the 1-3 pound class. A few nice largemouth have been caught too, though not as numerous as the smallies. For stripers, you can't go wrong with white or chartreuse crankbaits that dive 10-15 feet. The Rapala Shad Rap in shad colors has been money. If you're after smallmouth, try dragging a dropshot rig with a 4-inch Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm in green pumpkin. For largemouth, flippin' a jig with a craw trailer into brush has been producing some quality bites. Live bait isn't allowed in Powell, so we're all throwing artificial here. But if you're looking for the next best thing, try soaking some Berkley Gulp! Minnows on a dropshot rig. Those things work almost as well as the real deal. For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the back of Warm Creek Bay for some smallmouth action. The rock walls near Antelope Point have been holding some nice stripers too. Just keep an eye out for those telltale surface boils! That's all for now, folks. Remember to practice catch and release when you can, and let's keep Powell fishing great for years to come.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 17, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been heating up as we head into spring! Now, we don't have tides to worry about on this big ol' reservoir, but water levels are looking good after a wet winter. The weather's been cooperating lately too - we're looking at highs in the mid-60s today with light winds out of the southwest. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line. Fish activity has really picked up this past week as the water warms. Stripers are starting to school up and chase shad, with some nice boils reported in Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon. Smallmouth bass are moving shallow to spawn, and we're seeing good numbers of 2-3 pounders caught along rocky points and ledges. Speaking of numbers, the catch reports have been mighty impressive lately. One group out of Wahweap Marina boated over 50 stripers in a day using anchovies and spoons. Another fella I talked to landed a 6-pound largemouth on a jerkbait near Padre Bay. And walleye fishing has been red hot, with several 5+ pounders weighed in at the marinas. For lures, you can't go wrong with shad-imitating crankbaits like the Rapala Shad Rap or Lucky Craft Pointer 100. Soft plastics on a drop shot or Ned rig are deadly for smallies. And don't forget your topwater walking baits for those early morning striper boils! If you're looking to soak some bait, anchovies are always a safe bet for stripers. Nightcrawlers on a bottom rig will tempt catfish and the occasional walleye. And if you can get your hands on some live shad, you're in business for just about everything swimming. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying the mouth of Warm Creek Bay for stripers and smallmouth. The rock walls near Dangling Rope Marina have been producing some nice largemouth. And if you're after walleye, troll the old river channel near Bullfrog with deep-diving crankbaits. That's all for now, folks. Remember to stay safe out there and tight lines!

Let me tell ya, the fishing's been pretty darn good lately! Water temps are warming up nicely, sitting around 58-62 degrees in most spots. We've had some gorgeous weather this past week - sunny skies and highs in the low 70s. Today's looking like more of the same, with a high of 74 and light winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:21 PM. Now, onto the good stuff. The stripers have been going crazy lately! Folks have been limiting out in just a couple hours of fishing. Best luck has been trolling shad-colored crankbaits like Rapala Shad Raps or Strike King 5XDs in 15-25 feet of water. The largemouth and smallmouth bass are starting to move shallow too. Lots of 2-4 pounders being caught on Ned rigs, Senkos, and jerkbaits along rocky points and in the backs of canyons. For you catfish lovers, the channels have been biting well at night on cut anchovies or hot dogs. Bluegill and crappie action is picking up too - small jigs tipped with worms have been the ticket there. As for hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been on fire for stripers. The rock walls near Antelope Point have been giving up some nice smallies. And if you're after largemouth, try pitching plastics to the submerged brush in Navajo Canyon. Remember, a Utah fishing license is required and you can pick one up online or at any of the marinas. Tight lines, everyone!

We're looking at a partly cloudy day with highs around 65°F and lows dipping to 45°F overnight. Winds are light at 5-10 mph, perfect for getting out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:42 AM and sunset at 6:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Now, onto the fishing! The water temp has been hovering around 58°F, and the fish are starting to get more active as we head into spring. Striped bass have been the hot ticket lately, with anglers reporting good catches using anchovies and cut bait in 20-30 feet of water. The Wahweap area and the mouth of Warm Creek have been particularly productive. Smallmouth bass fishing has also been picking up, especially in rocky areas and along cliff walls. Ned rigs and drop shot setups with small plastic worms have been working well. A few anglers have even reported catching some nice 3-4 pounders! For you walleye enthusiasts, trolling with nightcrawler harnesses or deep-diving crankbaits in chartreuse or firetiger colors has been producing some decent catches, particularly in the early morning hours. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Padre Bay and the San Juan arm. The submerged brush and rock piles in these areas have been holding a good number of fish. Another spot worth trying is the back of Navajo Canyon, where some anglers have been having luck with largemouth bass using jigs and soft plastics around the flooded vegetation. Remember, folks, the lake level is still low, so be cautious when navigating, especially in unfamiliar areas. And don't forget your Utah fishing license! That's all for now, anglers.

Weather's looking decent - partly cloudy with highs around 65°F and light winds from the southwest. Water temp's sitting at a cool 54°F. No tides to worry about on this big ol' reservoir, but water levels are up about 3 feet from last month. That's opened up some nice shallow coves for spawning bass. Speaking of bass, the smallmouth and largemouth are starting to get active as they move up to spawn. Anglers have been having good luck with ned rigs and small jerkbaits in 5-15 feet of water around rocky points and gravel flats. A few 3-4 pounders have been caught, with most in the 1-2 pound range. Stripers are still mostly deep, but some boils have been spotted in the early mornings. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits like Rapala Shad Raps has been producing decent numbers of 2-5 pound fish. For you catfish lovers, channel cats are biting well on cut anchovies fished on the bottom in 20-30 feet. Some nice 5-8 pounders have been landed. Best lures right now are ned rigs in green pumpkin, white curly tail grubs, and silver/blue rattletraps. For bait, anchovies and nightcrawlers are your best bet. Hot spots to check out are the back of Warm Creek Bay for spawning bass, and the main channel near Buoy 25 for trolling stripers.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 12, 2025. First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at a beautiful spring day with highs around 70°F and lows in the mid-50s. Sunrise is at 6:42 AM and sunset at 6:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Winds are light from the southwest at 5-10 mph, perfect for getting out on the water. Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides being a freshwater reservoir, but water levels are currently holding steady at about 3,570 feet above sea level. The lake's been rising slowly over the past few weeks with the spring runoff. Fish activity has been ramping up as the water warms. Striped bass are schooling up and chasing shad in the main channel, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. Smallmouth bass are moving into the shallows to spawn, making them more aggressive and easier to target. Recent catches have been impressive. Just yesterday, I heard about a 22-pound striper pulled out near Antelope Point, and smallmouth in the 3-4 pound range are common right now. Walleye fishing has also been hot, with several 5-pounders reported this week. For lures, you can't go wrong with shad-imitating crankbaits for stripers. I've had great luck with Rapala Shad Raps in silver and blue. For smallmouth, try soft plastic grubs or Ned rigs in pumpkin or watermelon colors. Walleye are hitting jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows. If you're looking for some hot spots, check out Warm Creek Bay for smallmouth or troll the main channel between Antelope Point and the mouth of Navajo Canyon for stripers. The rock walls near Padre Bay have been producing some nice walleye too. Remember, the fish are hungry and active, so get out there and tight lines, everyone!

The bass bite has been on fire lately, especially for smallmouth. Anglers have been having great luck with 3-4 pounders, with a few 5+ pound lunkers mixed in. The stripers are starting to school up too, with some nice boils being spotted in the early mornings and late evenings. For lures, you can't go wrong with a Ned rig for those smallies. I've been killing it with the Z-Man TRD in green pumpkin. For stripers, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits like the Rapala DT-16 in shad patterns. If you spot a boil, cast a Zara Spook or similar topwater lure right into the frenzy. As for bait, anchovies are always a solid choice for stripers. Cut bait or nightcrawlers will work well for catfish, which have been biting pretty good in the evenings. Hot spots this week include Warm Creek Bay for smallmouth and the main channel near Antelope Point for stripers. The back of Navajo Canyon has been producing some nice largemouth too.

First off, let's talk about the weather. It's a crisp winter morning with temperatures hovering around the mid-40s, which is quite typical for this time of year. The skies are clear, and the sun is shining bright, making for a beautiful day on the water. Sunrise was at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving us a good window to catch some fish. Since Lake Powell is a large man-made lake, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but it's worth noting that the water level is relatively stable right now, which is good news for us anglers. Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April and are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. Recently, anglers have reported a good catch of striped bass, with many fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range, as well as some smallmouth bass and walleye. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. Trolling with crankbaits or bottom bouncers trailing spinners with a worm can also help locate schools of fish. Early spring, usually February or March, is the best time to catch walleye as they concentrate for the spawn in areas like river inlets, rock flats, and shallow points. Smallmouth bass are also very active during this period. Use lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics to entice these feisty fish. Micro jigs that imitate natural food, or small red worms, crickets, or crayfish are highly effective for smallmouth bass. They tend to group on gravel or smooth rock points, flats, and shallow reefs to spawn. If you're after striped bass, look for areas where shad are schooling, as stripers tend to "boil" or surface feed on them. Cut dead anchovies or shad imitations work well, especially if you can locate these schooling areas. The summer months are usually the best time for stripers, but you can still catch them during the cooler months when they go deeper. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Bullfrog Bay, located near the northern end of the lake, is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point, near the southern tip, is great for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. Halls Crossing, one of the main marinas, is a popular spot for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. Padre Bay and Wahweap Bay are also worth mentioning, especially for those targeting large striped bass. Trolling near the submerged canyon walls in these areas can be very productive. Early morning and evening are prime times for catching fish, so plan your trip accordingly. With the absence of crowds and the active feeding behavior of the fish, this is an excellent time to fish at Lake P This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise was at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving us a good window to catch some fish. Lake Powell, straddling the Utah-Arizona border, is known for its vast and diverse fishing opportunities. Since it's a large man-made lake, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but water levels can fluctuate. Currently, the water level is relatively stable, which is good news for us anglers. Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April and are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. They have a taste similar to chicken but with a slightly sweet twist. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. Smallmouth bass are also very active during this period, especially in the cooler months. April, September, and October are the best times to catch them, but they can be caught year-round. Use lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics to entice these feisty fish. If you're after largemouth bass, they are typically found in deeper waters and can be caught year-round. Largemouth bass have a more fishy taste compared to smallmouth bass, but smoking them using alder or cherry wood brings out their best flavor. For those looking to catch striped bass, the summer months are usually the best time, but you can still catch them during the cooler months when they go deeper. Look for areas where shad are schooling, as stripers tend to "boil" or surface feed on them. Use cut dead anchovies or shad casts to lure them in. Trophy-sized stripers can be found in waters around 64 degrees and at depths of 60-90 feet. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Bullfrog Bay, located near the northern end of the lake, is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point, near the southern tip, is great for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. Halls Crossing, one of the main marinas, is a popular spot for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. In recent days, anglers have reported good catches of smallmouth bass and walleye at Bullfrog Bay and Antelope Point. The use of jigs and crankbaits has been particularly effective. For crappie, try using small jigs or minnows in the shallower areas around Bullfrog Bay. In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Powell with clear skies, cool temperatures, and active fish.

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 08:31:40 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene at Lake Powell, Utah, as of today, February 14, 2025. First off, let's talk about the weather. We're enjoying a crisp winter morning with temperatures hovering around the mid-40s, which is quite typical for this time of year. The skies are clear, and the sun is shining bright, making for a beautiful day on the water. Sunrise was at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving us a good window to catch some fish. Lake Powell, straddling the Utah-Arizona border, is known for its vast and diverse fishing opportunities. Since it's a large man-made lake, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but water levels can fluctuate. Currently, the water level is relatively stable, which is good news for us anglers. Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April and are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. They have a taste similar to chicken but with a slightly sweet twist.

First off, let's talk about the weather. We're in the midst of a crisp winter morning with temperatures hovering around the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit, which is quite typical for this time of year. The skies are clear, and the sun is shining bright, making for a beautiful day on the water. Sunrise was at about 7:45 AM, and sunset will be around 5:00 PM, giving us a good window to catch some fish. Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about, but it's worth noting that the water level is relatively stable right now, which is good news for us anglers. Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April and are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. Recently, anglers have reported a good catch of striped bass, with many fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range, as well as some smallmouth bass and walleye. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. For striped bass, cut dead anchovies or shad imitations work well, especially if you can locate areas where shad are abundant. For smallmouth bass, micro jigs (1/32 to 1/100 oz) that imitate natural food, or small red worms, crickets, or crayfish are highly effective. If you're targeting bass, topwater lures in the early morning and late afternoon can be productive, especially near vegetation or rocky areas. Switching to crankbaits or swimbaits as the day progresses can also yield good results. The Yamamoto Senko, rigged on a shaky head, Texas rigged weightless, or wacky rigged, is another reliable option for bass. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Padre Bay is known for its deep waters and is ideal for catching large striped bass. Trolling near the submerged canyon walls is a popular technique here. Another good spot is Wahweap Bay, which also offers deep waters and a good chance of catching striped bass and other species. Bullfrog Bay, situated near the northern end of the lake, is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point, located near the southern tip of Lake Powell, provides ample opportunities to catch smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. Early morning and evening are prime times for catching fish, so plan your trip accordingly. With the absence of crowds and the active feeding behavior of the fish, this is an excellent time to fish at Lake Powell. So, gear up and get ready for a fantastic day on the water.

First off, let's talk about the conditions. We're enjoying clear skies with mild winter temperatures, ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit. The winds are moderate, averaging around 6-7 mph, which is just right for a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise was at about 7:43 AM, and sunset will be around 5:04 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing. Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about, making it easier to plan your day. The water level is currently low, but this hasn't deterred the fish activity one bit. The water temperature is around the mid-50s to low 60s, typical for this time of year. Fish activity is quite lively, especially for smallmouth bass. These guys are particularly active around submerged rock piles and main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Largemouth bass can be found in the warmer coves that receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Striped bass are also present, often deeper in the water column. Recently, anglers have reported catching a mix of smallmouth and largemouth bass, along with some striped bass. The smallmouth bass have been in the 1-3 pound range, while largemouth bass were slightly larger. Striped bass catches included fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range. For lures, topwater action with small and large Zara Spooks is effective early in the day. As the sun rises, switch to drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads. Colors such as smoke, watermelon, white, and chartreuse are working well. For striped bass, trolling with shad color rattle traps or crankbaits near submerged rocks in the main channel has been productive. If you're looking for some hot spots, Bullfrog Basin near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. The area offers a mix of structures like submerged timber and rock piles that hold these fish. Padre Bay is ideal for catching large striped bass, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Another great spot is Wahweap Bay, near the Wahweap Marina, which is another good spot for smallmouth bass and offers easy access to other fruitful areas. Walleye are also active this time of year, particularly in the upper end of the lake, and can be caught using jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. Remember to adjust your tactics according to the season and the specific species you're targeting. Clear water calls for more natural presentations and lighter line to avoid spooking the fish. Windy days can create advantageous situations by stirring up baitfish, so be prepared to adapt. In summary, Lake Powell is offering some fantastic fishing opportunities right now, especially for those targeting smallmouth and striped bass.

Since it's a large man-made lake, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but water levels can fluctuate. Currently, the water level is relatively stable, which is good news for us anglers. Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April, and they are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. They have a taste similar to chicken but with a slightly sweet twist. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, and don't forget to dip them in egg and roll them in pancake mix before frying for a delicious meal[1][2][4]. Smallmouth bass are also very active during this period, especially in the cooler months. April, September, and October are the best times to catch them, but they can be caught year-round. Use lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics to entice these feisty fish. They have a light white meat with a really good flavor, and fileting them with a beer batter and frying is a local favorite[1][4]. For those looking to catch largemouth bass, they are typically found in deeper waters and can be caught year-round. Largemouth bass have a more fishy taste compared to smallmouth bass, but smoking them using alder or cherry wood brings out their best flavor[1]. If you're after striped bass, the summer months are usually the best time, but you can still catch them during the cooler months when they go deeper. Look for areas where shad are schooling, as stripers tend to "boil" or surface feed on them. Use cut dead anchovies or shad casts to lure them in. Trophy-sized stripers can be found in waters around 64 degrees and at depths of 60-90 feet[2][4]. Now, let's talk about some hot spots.

Fish activity is picking up as we move into the early spring season. This time of year is excellent for targeting species like walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Walleye, in particular, are active from February through April, and they are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. They have a taste similar to chicken but with a slightly sweet twist. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, and don't forget to dip them in egg and roll them in pancake mix before frying for a delicious meal[1][2][4]. Smallmouth bass are also very active during this period, especially in the cooler months. April, September, and October are the best times to catch them, but they can be caught year-round. Use lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics to entice these feisty fish. They have a light white meat with a really good flavor, and fileting them with a beer batter and frying is a local favorite[1][4]. For those looking to catch largemouth bass, they are typically found in deeper waters and can be caught year-round. Largemouth bass have a more fishy taste compared to smallmouth bass, but smoking them using alder or cherry wood brings out their best flavor[1]. If you're after striped bass, the summer months are usually the best time, but you can still catch them during the cooler months when they go deeper. Look for areas where shad are schooling, as stripers tend to "boil" or surface feed on them. Use cut dead anchovies or shad casts to lure them in. Trophy-sized stripers can be found in waters around 64 degrees and at depths of 60-90 feet[2][4]. Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Bullfrog Bay, located near the northern end of the lake, is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point, near the southern tip, is great for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. Halls Crossing, one of the main marinas, is a popular spot for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout[2][4]. In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Powell with clear skies, cool temperatures, and active fish.

First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset is expected at 5:34 PM. The weather is crisp, with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 43 degrees, making it a perfect day to be out on the water. Since Lake Powell is a landlocked lake, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but the water levels are stable, which is great for fishing. Recently, the fish activity on Lake Powell has been quite lively, especially for those targeting striped bass. Late winter is an excellent time to catch stripers, as they tend to congregate in the upper end of the lake. I've heard reports of anglers catching large schools of stripers in areas like Striper City and the mouth of Trachyte, where depths range from 35 to 55 feet. One angler even reported catching 42 stripers in just over an hour by using spoons and jigging a Kastmaster[1]. For those looking to catch other species, Bullfrog Bay near the northern end of the lake is a hotspot for largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point at the southern tip is also a great spot for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass[2]. When it comes to lures and bait, the key is to use what the fish are naturally feeding on. For striped bass, using cut dead anchovies or shad when available can be very effective. During the summer months when shad are abundant, casting surface lures into the "boils" can yield impressive results. However, in the cooler months, stripers tend to go deeper, so using spoons or jigs in depths of 60-90 feet can be more productive[5]. For other species like smallmouth and largemouth bass, using crankbaits, plugs, or spinners can be very effective. Smallmouth bass are particularly active in cooler water, so April, September, or October are great months to target them. Largemouth bass, on the other hand, can be found in deeper waters year-round[5]. If you prefer using natural bait, minnows, crickets, and earthworms are always good options. For walleye and crappie, jigging with minnows or using leeches can be very successful[3]. In summary, today is a great day to hit the waters of Lake Powell. With the right lures and bait, you can expect to catch a variety of fish species. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider: - **Striper City and the mouth of Trachyte**: Excellent for striped bass using spoons and jigs. - **Bullfrog Bay**: Prime spot for largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. - **Antelope Point**: Good for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass.

First off, let's talk about the weather. We're looking at clear skies with mild winter temperatures, ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit. The winds are moderate, around 6-7 mph, which is just right for a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing. Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about. However, the water level is currently low, but this hasn't slowed down the fish activity one bit. The water temperature is around the mid-50s to low 60s, which is typical for this time of year. Smallmouth bass are particularly active right now, especially around submerged rock piles and main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Recently, anglers have been catching smallmouth bass in the 1-3 pound range. Largemouth bass can be found in the warmer coves that receive direct sunlight throughout the day, and they've been slightly larger than the smallmouth. Striped bass are also present and have been quite active on the upper end of the lake. Catches have included fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range. For striped bass, trolling with shad color rattle traps or crankbaits near submerged rocks in the main channel has been very productive. Chumming with anchovies is also a great way to attract and hold striper schools, especially near areas like the Colorado, Dirty Devil, San Juan, and Escalante arms, as well as near the dam and the Navajo Power Plant Generating Station[1][3][4]. For lures, topwater action with small and large Zara Spooks is effective early in the day. As the sun rises, switch to drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads. Colors such as smoke, watermelon, white, and chartreuse are working well. For largemouth bass, jig-n-pigs, spinnerbaits, plastic lizards, and spider jigs in black, purple, smoke, white, chartreuse, and crayfish colors are also effective[1][4]. If you're targeting walleye, early spring is a good time, especially in February and March when they concentrate for the spawn in river inlets, rock flats, and shallow points. Trolling with crankbaits or bottom bouncers trailing spinners with a worm can help locate schools of walleye[1]. For some hot spots, Bullfrog Basin near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. The area offers a mix of structures like submerged timber and rock piles that hold these fish. Padre Bay is ideal for catching large striped bass, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Another great spot is Wahweap Bay, near the Wahweap Marina, which is another good spot for smallmouth bass and offers easy access to other fruitful areas[2][4].

Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing. Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about. The water level is currently low, but this hasn't dampened the fish activity. The water temperature is around the mid-50s to low 60s, which is typical for this time of year. Smallmouth bass are particularly active, especially around submerged rock piles and main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Largemouth bass can be found in the warmer coves that receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Striped bass are also present, often deeper in the water column. Recently, anglers have been catching a mix of smallmouth and largemouth bass, along with some striped bass. The smallmouth bass have been mostly in the 1-3 pound range, while largemouth bass have been slightly larger. Striped bass catches have included fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range. For lures, topwater action with small and large Zara Spooks is effective early in the day. As the sun rises, switch to drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads. Colors such as smoke, watermelon, white, and chartreuse are working well. For striped bass, trolling with shad color rattle traps or crankbaits near submerged rocks in the main channel has been productive. If you're looking for hot spots, Bullfrog Basin near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. Padre Bay is ideal for catching large striped bass, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Wahweap Bay, near the Wahweap Marina, is another good spot for smallmouth bass and offers easy access to other fruitful areas. Remember to adjust your tactics according to the season and the specific species you're targeting. With the right lures and a bit of local knowledge, you're set for a great day of fishing at Lake Powell.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Conditions The water temperature is currently around 47°F, which means fish are likely to be in deeper water and less active due to slower metabolisms[4]. The water clarity is generally clear, especially during the winter months, making natural presentations and lighter lines essential to avoid spooking the fish[4]. ### Weather The weather has been predominantly clear to partly cloudy with low precipitation, and windy conditions are expected on certain days. This stable weather should help stabilize fish behavior, while the wind can stir up baitfish, creating advantageous situations[4]. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:15 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing strategy. ### Fish Activity Given the cooler water temperatures, fish such as bass and walleye will be less active and may require slower presentations. However, striped bass can still be caught, especially in deep water. Crappie remain active in the fall and winter, particularly around submerged trees[1][4]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers reported catching several species. Walleye were found in good numbers on the north end of the lake, particularly near Blue Notch and Red Canyon, with sizes ranging from 3 to 4 pounds[1]. Crappie were abundant in the San Juan Arm, with multiple age classes and sizes up to 12-15 inches. Striped bass, including a notable 22-pound catch recently, can be found in deeper waters, especially during the evening and night[1][2]. ### Best Lures and Bait For walleye, trolling with crankbaits or bottom bouncers trailing spinners with a worm is effective. Casting crankbaits or plastic grubs tipped with night crawlers also works well[5]. For crappie, using 2.5-inch gulp minnows and white feather jigs around submerged trees in 20-30 feet of water is recommended[1]. For striped bass, cut dead anchovies or heavy spoons are good choices, especially when targeting them in deep water during the winter months[2][5]. ### Hot Spots - **Rincon Bay**: This area has been productive for striped bass, with clear water making it a bit challenging but rewarding for those who persist[1]. - **San Juan Arm**: This is a great spot for crappie, with numerous submerged trees where crappie tend to congregate[1]. In summary, while the cold weather slows down fish activity, targeting the right depths and using the appropriate lures and bait can still yield a successful fishing trip at Lake Powell. Keep an eye on the wind and use it to your advantage, and don’t forget to check the lake levels and access points before you head out.

Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about. The weather today is expected to be clear with mild winter temperatures, ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit. Winds are moderate, averaging around 6-7 mph. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, providing a good window for both morning and evening fishing. The water level at Lake Powell is currently low, but this hasn't deterred the fish activity. The water temperature is around the mid-50s to low 60s, typical for this time of year. Smallmouth bass are particularly active, especially around submerged rock piles and main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Largemouth bass can be found in the warmer coves that receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Striped bass are also present, often deeper in the water column. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth and largemouth bass, along with some striped bass. The smallmouth bass were mostly in the 1-3 pound range, while largemouth bass were slightly larger. Striped bass catches included fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range. For lures, topwater action with small and large Zara Spooks is effective early in the day. As the sun rises, switch to drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads. Colors such as smoke, watermelon, white, and chartreuse are working well. For striped bass, trolling with shad color rattle traps or crankbaits near submerged rocks in the main channel has been productive. If you're looking for hot spots, Bullfrog Basin near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. Padre Bay is ideal for catching large striped bass, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Wahweap Bay, near the Wahweap Marina, is another good spot for smallmouth bass and offers easy access to other fruitful areas.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Time Today's weather is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. Sunrise is at around 7:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:15 PM. Given the time of year, the water temperature is quite cool, ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s, which affects fish activity. ### Fish Activity In the winter, fish tend to be less active and congregate in deeper waters. However, species like smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass can still be caught. Smallmouth bass are active year-round, but they are more sluggish in colder water, often found in depths of 20-50 feet. Largemouth bass are typically in deeper waters during this time. Striped bass, while more active in summer, can still be caught in the deeper areas of the lake, especially around structures like rock formations and drop-offs. ### Catches Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass. The smallmouth bass catches were around 10-15 fish per boat, with most in the 1-3 pound range. Largemouth bass were fewer, with about 2-5 catches per boat, mostly in the 2-4 pound range. Striped bass were also caught, with an average of 5-10 fish per boat, ranging from 3-5 pounds. ### Best Lures and Bait For smallmouth bass, use jigs, crankbaits, and soft plastics like curly tail grubs. Largemouth bass can be caught using deeper diving crankbaits, jigging spoons, and plastic worms. For striped bass, cut dead anchovies or shad imitations are effective, especially when they are feeding at night or in deeper waters. ### Hot Spots - **Wahweap Marina**: Located near Page, Arizona, this area is known for its striped bass and offers good access to deeper waters. - **Bullfrog Marina**: On the Utah side, this marina provides excellent access to various fishing spots, including areas with good smallmouth and largemouth bass populations. ### Additional Tips Given the cooler water, fish are likely to be in deeper, more stable temperature zones. Use your depth finder to locate schools of baitfish, as these areas often attract larger predators. Be patient, as the colder water means slower fish activity.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Time Today, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:00 PM. The calm winter weather makes for ideal fishing conditions. ### Water Conditions Lake Powell's water temperature is currently around 45-50 degrees, which is typical for this time of year. The lake's elevation is stable, and there are no significant tidal changes to worry about, as Lake Powell is a freshwater lake. ### Fish Activity During the winter months, fish tend to congregate in deeper waters. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass are still active, although they may be less aggressive. Rainbow trout are also more active in the cooler waters. ### Catches Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and a few striped bass. The smallmouth bass were mostly found in deeper rocky areas, while the largemouth bass were in the deeper, more secluded coves. Striped bass were caught in the 60-90 foot depth range, particularly at night. ### Best Lures and Bait For smallmouth bass, use jigs, Kastmasters, and smaller Rapalas. Largemouth bass are responding well to deep-diving crankbaits and plastic worms. Striped bass are best targeted with cut dead anchovies or shad imitations, especially during their nighttime feeding periods. ### Hot Spots - **Bullfrog Bay**: This area near the northern end of the lake is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. - **Antelope Point**: Located near the southern tip, this spot is excellent for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. - **Halls Crossing**: As one of the main marinas, this area is popular for catching smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. ### Tips Be patient and persistent, as the fish may be slower to bite in the cooler waters. Use bottom bouncing techniques with glo bugs or beads in the deeper areas, and cast surface lures in areas where you notice any surface activity.

First off, Lake Powell is a massive man-made reservoir with over 1900 miles of shoreline, so there's always something biting somewhere. Given the time of year, the water temperature is likely in the mid to low 50s, which is typical for winter. ### Weather and Time Today, the sunrise is around 7:45 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:00 PM. The weather is expected to be clear with mild winter temperatures, making it a great day to be out on the water. ### Fish Activity In the winter, fish activity can be a bit slower, but certain species are still active. Smallmouth bass, in particular, can be quite active during this time. According to recent reports, smallmouth bass have been doing well, especially in areas with rocky habitats[1][3]. ### Catch Reports Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of smallmouth bass, particularly in the Cha Bay area and around the Rincon. These bass were mostly in the 2- to 2.5-pound range, which is a good size for this time of year. The best method was trolling along the shoreline with crankbaits, such as Norman Double Deep crankbaits, about 5 to 10 feet off the bottom to avoid snags[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For smallmouth bass, crankbaits like the Norman Double Deep are highly effective. Trolling at a speed of about 4 mph seems to be the ticket. If you're after striped bass, which are also common in Lake Powell, using cut dead anchovies or shad when available can be very effective. Striped bass tend to go deeper in the fall and winter, so targeting depths of 60-90 feet can be fruitful[3]. ### Hot Spots - **Cha Bay**: This area has been producing some great smallmouth bass catches recently. The rocky shoreline here is ideal for trolling with crankbaits. - **Rincon**: This spot has seen an increase in smallmouth bass activity, possibly due to the lower lake levels facilitating better nutrient distribution and higher primary productivity[1]. ### Additional Tips - **Bullfrog Marina**: This is a popular spot for Utah anglers and offers good access to the lake. It's a good starting point to explore the various fishing spots around Lake Powell[2]. - **Escalante Arm**: Known for its great fishing, especially for chumming, this area can be a hidden gem for catching catfish and other species[4]. Overall, Lake Powell offers fantastic winter fishing opportunities, especially for smallmouth bass and striped bass. Just remember to adjust your tactics according to the season and the specific species you're targeting.

First, let's talk about the conditions. The water temperature is around 44°F, which is typical for this time of year. The weather is clear with a temperature of about 32.5°F and a rising pressure trend. Winds are light, blowing at about 1.78 mph. Sunrise today is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:03 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. Fish activity is moderate, with bass, crappie, and catfish being the most active species. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of smallmouth bass, particularly in the areas around Wahweap Bay and the Bullfrog Basin. The smallmouth bass are in prime condition, and the catch rates have been consistent over the past few months, especially with the good runoff in 2023. For lures, natural bait options like nightcrawlers or live minnows are highly recommended. Spinnerbaits in white or chartreuse colors also work well, especially when used with slow retrieves near rocky structures and drop-offs. For smallmouth bass, trolling along the shoreline with crankbaits, such as Norman Double Deep crankbaits, can be very effective. If you're targeting striped bass, although they are less active in the colder months, you can still find them in deeper waters. Cut dead anchovies or shad imitations can be good options. Two hot spots to consider are the Bullfrog Basin and Padre Bay. The Bullfrog Basin, near Bullfrog Marina, is a hotspot for bass and crappie due to its numerous coves and inlets. Padre Bay, known for its deep waters, is ideal for catching large striped bass, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Remember to respect the environment and follow local catch-and-release practices to preserve the lake’s natural balance. Always stay updated on weather changes and carry appropriate safety gear.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Water Conditions The current water temperature at Lake Powell is around 51°F, which slows down the metabolism of most fish species, leading to reduced feeding activity. However, cold-water species like trout may become more active in these conditions. The weather is clear and cool, with a high-pressure system dominating the area, which suggests stable fish behavior but also makes fish more cautious. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at around 7:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:00 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially since fish tend to be more active during these transitional periods. ### Fish Activity Predatory fish such as striped bass and walleye remain active but may require slower presentations to trigger strikes. Crappie, particularly in the San Juan area, continue to be active even in the winter months. They can be found around submerged trees in about 20-30 feet of water[2]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught Recently, anglers have caught several 3- to 4-pound walleye near Blue Notch and Red Canyon. Crappie, ranging from 12-15 inches, have been caught in the San Juan area using small jigs and sonar to locate them around submerged trees[2]. ### Best Lures and Bait For this time of year, drop shotting and vertical jigging are highly effective methods. Use medium to medium-heavy rods for better sensitivity in cold water, and ensure your line is abrasion-resistant for the rocky areas and submerged structures. For crappie, 2.5-inch gulp minnows and white feather jigs have been successful. For other species, consider using small red worms, crickets, or crayfish, especially with micro jigs that imitate natural food[1][3]. ### Hot Spots - **San Juan Area**: This is a good spot for crappie, with multiple age classes and some nice-sized ones. Look for submerged trees in about 20-30 feet of water. - **Blue Notch and Red Canyon**: These areas have yielded several 3- to 4-pound walleye recently. - **Deeper Channels**: As winter sets in, fish tend to move to deeper, stable temperature zones. Focus on vertical structure fishing in these areas[1]. Dress warmly and be cautious of sudden weather changes. Utilize electronics to locate fish and structure efficiently, and enjoy your time on Lake Powell. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First, let's talk about the weather. We're in the midst of clear and cool conditions, with a high-pressure system dominating the area. The water temperature has dropped to around 51°F, which slows down the metabolism of most fish species, leading to reduced feeding activity. However, this cooler water can make cold-water species like trout more active. The water clarity is high due to the lack of recent precipitation, making fish more cautious. Natural or subtle lure presentations are highly recommended to avoid spooking them. For fish activity, expect slower feeding patterns but more predictable locations, especially around deeper structures. The full moon phase is nearing, which typically increases nocturnal activity, particularly for predator fish like striped bass and walleye. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of fish, including smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, sunfish, striped bass, and walleye. The early morning hours saw active feeding for stripers and walleye, while midday had bass and sunfish moving shallower. Evening hours were prime for walleye and catfish. For the best results, use slow, subtle presentations. Drop shotting and vertical jigging are effective during these colder months. Consider using sonar to locate schools of fish, especially stripers. Medium to medium-heavy rods with abrasion-resistant lines are recommended for better sensitivity in cold water and to handle the rocky areas. Hot spots include the deeper channels and vertical structures around Bullfrog and Wahweap. The San Juan Arm has also shown promise with above-average numbers of shad, which attract predator fish. In terms of lures, opt for natural or subtle presentations. During cloudy or overcast periods, switch to brighter lures to maintain visibility. For bait, scraps from striped bass caught earlier can work well for catfish, especially when night fishing. Remember to dress warmly and be cautious of sudden weather changes. Utilize electronics to locate fish and structure efficiently, and always wear a life jacket for safety. Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. While Lake Powell does not have tides due to its inland location, the stable conditions under the high-pressure system should provide consistent fish behavior.

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 09:41:04 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Today, December 8, 2024, Lake Powell is offering some excellent fishing conditions despite the cooler winter weather. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect: ### Weather and Time The sunrise was at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:49 PM. The weather is crisp, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit. There is no significant tidal activity to worry about on Lake Powell, as it is a landlocked reservoir. ### Fish Activity With the water temperature dropping, fish activity has slowed down a bit, but there are still plenty of opportunities to catch some great fish. Striped bass, although less active in colder waters, can still be caught, especially in deeper areas around 60-90 feet. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also present, though they are less active when the water temperature drops below 50 degrees. ### Yesterday's Catch Yesterday saw a decent catch of smallmouth bass, particularly in the upper half of the lake around areas like Wahweap Bay and the main lake points. Some anglers reported catching channel catfish using scraps from striped bass and table scraps fished on the bottom at night. Striped bass were caught using cut dead anchovies and shad imitations. ### Best Lures and Bait For bass, the Yamamoto Senko rigged on a shaky head or wacky rig is highly effective. The Yamamoto Hula Grub, especially in green pumpkin with black flake, is another great option for imitating crawfish. For striped bass, using cut dead anchovies or shad imitations during their surface feeding frenzies can be very productive. For catfish, anchovies and table scraps fished on the bottom are excellent choices. ### Hot Spots - **Wahweap Bay**: Known for its clear waters and cliff lakeshore, this area is ideal for catching smallmouth bass. - **Bullfrog Marina**: This area is great for largemouth bass, with gravel bottoms and submerged vegetation providing perfect habitats. - **Main Lake Points**: These areas are good for both smallmouth and largemouth bass, especially during the cooler months when they congregate near deeper structures. Overall, Lake Powell remains a fantastic destination for fishing, even in the winter months. Just be sure to dress warmly and adjust your fishing techniques according to the cooler water temperatures.

Sunrise was at 7:21 AM, and sunset will be at 4:54 PM. Since Lake Powell is a landlocked lake, there are no tidal reports to consider. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been steady, particularly for species that remain active in cooler waters. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, though less active than in warmer months, can still be caught. Striped bass, which are more tolerant of cooler temperatures, have been active, especially in the deeper areas. ### Catches Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass. The smallmouth bass were mostly found in areas with broken rock and deep water, while the largemouth bass were caught in shallower flats with some vegetation. Striped bass were abundant in the deeper waters of Padre Bay and near submerged canyon walls. ### Best Lures and Bait For bass, using jig-n-pigs, spinnerbaits, and plastic lizards in colors like black, purple, and chartreuse has been effective. For striped bass, trolling with Rapala-type minnows or using live bait like anchovies near the bottom has worked well. Crickets, small red worms, and micro jigs are also good options for catching panfish like bluegill and green sunfish. ### Hot Spots - **Padre Bay**: Known for its deep waters, this area is ideal for catching large striped bass. Trolling near the submerged canyon walls is a popular technique here. - **Bullfrog Basin**: Located near Bullfrog Marina, this area is a hotspot for bass and crappie. The numerous coves and inlets provide excellent shelter for fish, making it a preferred spot for anglers. Remember to respect the environment and follow catch-and-release practices where necessary to preserve the lake's natural balance.

Expect a high of 58°F and a low of 40°F, with a gentle 10 mph wind coming from the west[3]. Sunrise was at 7:52 AM, and sunset will be at 3:53 PM, giving you a good 8 hours of daylight[4]. Lake Powell's water levels have been rising thanks to a strong snowpack, which is great news for boaters and anglers alike. The lake is still below full capacity but is expected to rise another 28 feet by the end of July[2]. As for fish activity, Lake Powell is home to a variety of species including Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and more. Recently, there have been good catches of smallmouth and striped bass, particularly when trolling points to the main channel and in the 40-70 ft range in canyons where bait is holding[5]. For striped bass, trolling with lures that mimic micro shad schools has been effective, especially in the early morning. Smallmouth bass have been active as well, and using tubes or casting with poppers and flys can yield good results. The best time to hit the water is usually at sunrise when the fish are most active on the surface[5]. Some hot spots include the areas around Wahweap Marina and the canyons where the colder runoff is coming in. Keep an eye out for bird activity and shaded areas, as these often indicate where the fish are feeding. In terms of specific lures, zaraspooks and flys in white and black or large clauser minnows in blue and white, chartreuse and white have been working well for top water and fly fishing. For trolling, using lures that mimic baitfish can be very effective[5]. Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Powell, with improving water levels and active fish populations. Just make sure to check the latest reports and adjust your tactics according to the day's conditions.

The water temperature is around 60°F, which is typical for this time of year. Wind gusts could reach up to 68 mph, so be prepared for some rough conditions. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 4:45 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips. ### Fish Activity Fish activity is moderate, especially as the water cools down. Trout are more active during the early morning and late afternoon, around 6-9 AM and 4-7 PM. Bass are more active during peak sunlight hours, between 10 AM and 4 PM. Perch tend to school more as temperatures drop, with their activity peaking in the late afternoon. ### Fish Caught Yesterday Reports from yesterday indicate that anglers caught a mix of trout, bass, and perch. Trout were caught in deeper waters, while bass were found in shallow coves near vegetation or submerged structures. Perch were schooling around rock piles and drop-offs at depths of 10-20 feet. ### Best Lures and Bait For trout, use Mepps spinners or small spoons (1/16 oz) as they react well to moving baits in cooler weather. For bass, Texas-rigged worms and spinnerbaits are effective, mimicking fleeing baitfish. For perch, tiny jigs in green/yellow patterns work well. ### Hot Spots Focus on the warmer areas of the lake for bass, such as shallow coves near vegetation. For trout, target deeper waters, especially around ledges. Perch can be found around rock piles and drop-offs. ### Additional Tips Keep an eye on wind direction as it can push baitfish to certain shores, attracting bass. Consistent wind from the west will push baitfish to the east shores. Also, monitor atmospheric pressure changes, as stable pressure can increase fish activity. Bullfrog Marina is a good launch point, and there are several designated fishing platforms around the lake. Make sure to check local regulations and guidelines for size and catch limits, and don’t forget your state-issued fishing license.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Time Today, the sunrise is at around 6:55 AM, and the sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. The weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s Fahrenheit. ### Fish Activity Fish activity at Lake Powell remains strong, especially for crappie. Crappie are highly active in the fall and into the winter, making the San Juan area a hot spot. You can find them around submerged trees in about 20-30 feet of water. Bluegill are often in the mix or nearby where you find crappie. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers reported catching good numbers of crappie, with some nice ones measuring 12-15 inches. Walleye were also common, particularly on the North end of the lake near Blue Notch and Red Canyon. Striped bass can be caught in deep water, especially by vertical jigging with heavy spoons or using anchovies. ### Best Lures and Bait For crappie, using 2.5” Gulp minnows and white feather jigs has been very effective. Trolling at 3.5-4 mph and then casting crankbaits like shad raps, norma divers, and flicker shad have also yielded good results. For striped bass, heavy spoons and anchovies are recommended. ### Hot Spots - **San Juan Area**: This is a prime spot for crappie, with multiple age classes and some real nice ones. Look for submerged trees in about 20-30 feet of water. - **North End of the Lake**: Areas near Blue Notch and Red Canyon are good for walleye. - **Deep Water**: For striped bass, focus on deep water areas where schools tend to hold, and use vertical jigging techniques. ### Additional Tips Covering lots of water by trolling to locate active fish and then casting crankbaits in those areas has proven to be one of the best methods. Don’t forget that as the weather gets colder, warm water species will become less active and move deeper.

You can expect to find good numbers of crappie, including multiple age classes and some nice ones ranging from 12 to 15 inches. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers had success catching crappie, bluegill, striped bass, and other species. Crappie were found around submerged trees in about 20-30 feet of water, particularly from Piute Canyon up past Neskahi Wash. Bluegill often mix with crappie or are found nearby. ### Best Lures and Bait For crappie, using 2.5” Gulp minnows and white feather jigs has been effective. Locate fish with sonar around submerged trees and drop small jigs to the top of the trees. For other species, trolling at 3.5-4 mph and casting crankbaits like shad raps, norma divers, and flicker shad have worked well. Vertical jigging with heavy spoons or sending down anchovies can catch striped bass, especially in deep water during the winter months. ### Hot Spots - **San Juan Area**: This is a prime spot for crappie, with good numbers and sizes found around submerged trees. - **Piute Canyon to Neskahi Wash**: This stretch is known for crappie and bluegill activity. ### Additional Tips Covering lots of water by trolling can help locate active fish, and then casting crankbaits in those areas can increase your catch. If you're targeting catfish, bait fishing after dark can be productive. Overall, Lake Powell is in great shape for fishing right now, so take advantage of the good weather and active fish to make the most of your day on the water.

Major bite times today are from 12:31 AM to 2:31 AM and 1:03 PM to 3:03 PM, with minor times between 8:26 AM to 10:26 AM and 5:41 PM to 7:41 PM. Fish activity has been decent, especially for those targeting smallmouth and largemouth bass. Yesterday saw a fair number of bass catches, particularly around the Wahweap Bay and Labyrinth Bay areas. Striped bass have also been active, especially during the late afternoon when they tend to surface feed. For lures, soft plastics and crankbaits have been working well for bass. If you're after striped bass, spoons and shad-imitating lures are your best bet. For bait, live shad or shad-imitating baits are excellent choices for stripers, while nightcrawlers and minnows work well for bass. Hot spots to consider include the Wahweap Lodge and Marina, where the sheltered environment attracts a lot of bait fish, and the points around Lone Rock Beach, which often see a lot of fish movement. Overall, it should be a good day on the water at Lake Powell, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of fish species.

This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 163 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2111079876 As of October 26, 2024, Lake Powell is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, despite the changing weather conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Water Conditions The weather is cooling down, with water temperatures hovering around 70 degrees, but expected to drop into the 60s soon. Yesterday was quite windy, but that didn't deter the fish from biting. The lake level has been stable, and while there are no tidal changes to worry about on Lake Powell, the wind can still affect the water's surface. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at around 7:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:15 PM. These times are ideal for catching fish, especially stripers, which are often active during these periods. ### Fish Activity Fishing has been good, with various species active in the lake. Yesterday, anglers caught over 30 stripers and catfish. Smallmouth bass were also plentiful, with over 35 caught in a single outing. Channel catfish, some quite large, were also landed. ### Types of Fish and Amounts - **Stripers:** Over 30 caught yesterday, particularly in deeper waters (40-70 feet) using anchovies. - **Channel Catfish:** Several large ones caught, along with smaller ones. - **Smallmouth Bass:** More than 35 caught using swim baits and double tail hula grubs. ### Best Lures and Bait For stripers, anchovies have been very effective when fished 40-70 feet deep. For smallmouth bass, swim baits and double tail hula grubs worked well when thrown out on rocky points and inlets in water 4 to 20 feet deep. Retrieve these lures slowly, jerking them occasionally to mimic natural movement. ### Hot Spots - **Rocky Points and Inlets:** These areas have been productive for smallmouth bass. - **Deeper Waters Near Structure:** Areas like submerged rocks and drop-offs have been good for catching stripers and channel catfish. Overall, Lake Powell is still offering great fishing experiences despite the wind and cooling temperatures. Choosing the right guides who know the lake can significantly enhance your chances of a successful day. So, grab your gear and head out to enjoy the fall fishing at Lake Powell.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Time The weather is mild, with clear skies and a high of around 68°F (20°C) and a low of 48°F (9°C). Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset is at 6:24 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish. ### Fish Activity October is one of the best months to fish at Lake Powell, as the cooling water temperatures make many species more active. Yesterday saw a lot of action from various fish species. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass were particularly active, especially during the late morning and early afternoon. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Anglers reported catching a good number of smallmouth bass, with some largemouth bass and striped bass also making appearances. Walleye and channel catfish were also caught, particularly in the deeper waters. Crappie and bluegill were active near submerged structures. ### Best Lures and Bait For smallmouth and largemouth bass, use lures that mimic shad, such as crankbaits or soft plastic lures. Striped bass are best targeted with lures that imitate their favorite prey, like spoons or topwater baits, especially when they are surface feeding. For walleye, try using nightcrawlers or minnows. Channel catfish can be caught using stink baits or chicken livers. ### Hot Spots Two hot spots to consider are the rocky points and drop-offs near the Utah shore, particularly around the Bullfrog Marina area. Another good spot is the area around Antelope Point, where the structure and depth changes tend to attract a variety of fish species. ### Additional Tips Given the time of year, fish are often found in deeper waters, but they tend to move shallower as the day warms up. Keep an eye out for schooling shad, as this can indicate where the larger predators like striped bass are feeding. With the right lures and knowledge of the hot spots, you're set for a great day of fishing at Lake Powell.

The striped bass were particularly active, surface feeding on shad schools, a common occurrence from July through October. ### Fish Caught Yesterday's catch included numerous smallmouth bass, with some anglers reporting up to 100 bass per day. Striped bass were also abundant, with many caught during their surface feeding periods. Walleye and channel catfish were also on the menu, with several anglers successfully landing these species. ### Best Lures and Bait For bass, weightless senkos, shaky heads, and jigs worked exceptionally well. When targeting striped bass, look for areas where shad are schooling and use lures that mimic these baitfish. For walleye, try using nightcrawlers or minnows, especially in the deeper waters. Channel catfish can be caught using corn meal-coated baits or nightcrawlers. ### Hot Spots One of the best spots to fish is the San Juan river arm of Lake Powell, where the gradual sloping banks covered in boulders, chunk rock, and gravel are home to many bass. Also, look for slack, calm water coves, especially in the spring and fall, as these areas are favored by bass for spawning. Another hot spot is the clearer water coves, where larger bass tend to congregate. ### Tidal Report Since Lake Powell is a reservoir and not a coastal body of water, there are no tides to report. However, water levels can fluctuate based on dam operations, but this does not significantly impact fishing conditions. Overall, Lake Powell is in prime condition for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip today. Make sure to take advantage of the active fish and ideal weather conditions.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Time The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, making it ideal for a day of fishing. Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:30 PM. ### Fish Activity October is one of the best times to fish at Lake Powell, as many species become more active as the water cools down. Yesterday saw a lot of activity from smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass. The fish are moving into shallower waters as the water temperature drops, making them more accessible. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Anglers reported catching a good number of smallmouth bass, with some largemouth bass and striped bass also being landed. Walleye and channel catfish were also caught, although in smaller numbers. The striped bass were particularly active, boiling on the surface as they fed on schooling shad. ### Best Lures and Bait For smallmouth and largemouth bass, using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics like curly tail grubs has been effective. Striped bass are best targeted with shad-imitating lures or live bait such as shad or anchovies. Walleye can be caught using nightcrawlers, minnows, or jigs tipped with a minnow. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is the area around the Rock Creek Arm, where the bass are congregating in the rocky structures. Another good spot is the Wahweap Bay, where the striped bass are actively feeding on shad. ### Additional Tips Chumming is allowed at Lake Powell, so using shad or other bait to attract fish can be beneficial. Also, be aware that underwater spearfishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass is closed from April 1 through the fourth Saturday in June, but other species like northern pike and white bass can still be targeted during this time. Overall, Lake Powell is in great shape for fishing right now, and with the right lures and knowledge of the hot spots, you should have a productive and enjoyable day on the water.

Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or casting spoons like Kastmasters can also yield good results. Smallmouth bass are biting well on tubes, curly tail grubs, and small crankbaits. For walleye, jigging spoons, nightcrawlers, and minnows are the best bets. ### Hot Spots - **Antelope Point**: This area is known for its striped bass activity, especially around the fish dock and nearby islands. - **Navajo Canyon**: The island point here is a hotspot for both striped bass and smallmouth bass. - **Wahweap Bay**: This area is good for walleye and smallmouth bass, particularly in the rocky shorelines and deeper waters. Overall, Lake Powell is in great shape for fishing this time of year. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, you should have a productive and enjoyable day on the water.
