Excellent Fishing Conditions at Lake Powell: A Guide for a Successful Day on the Water.

  • Summary

  • As of November 3, 2024, Lake Powell in Utah is offering some excellent fishing conditions, making it a great time to cast your line. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First, let's talk about the weather. We're expecting a mild day with clear skies, a high of around 68°F (20°C), and a low of 48°F (9°C). Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:24 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    The lake level is currently at 444.89 feet deep at the dam, and while Lake Powell does not have tides, the water level can fluctuate slightly due to inflow and outflow. Recently, the lake has been relatively stable, which is good news for anglers.

    Fish activity has been robust, especially with the cooling water temperatures. 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. 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.

    For the best results, use swim baits and double tail hula grubs, throwing them out on rocky points and inlets in water 4 to 20 feet deep. Let the lure sink, then retrieve it slowly, jerking it occasionally. For deeper fishing, anchovies about 40 to 70 feet down have been effective for catching stripers and catfish.

    Two hot spots to consider are the rocky points and inlets around the lake, particularly those near Antelope Point Marina. These areas have been producing significant catches of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass.

    Overall, Lake Powell is buzzing with fishing activity, making it an ideal time to get out on the water. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, you're likely to have a successful and enjoyable day of fishing.
