  • Summary

  • As of November 10, 2024, Lake Powell in Utah is offering some excellent fishing conditions, making it a great time to cast your line.

    ### Weather and Time
    The weather today is mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the low 70s, perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 5:00 PM. Since Lake Powell is a large inland lake, there are no tidal reports to consider.

    ### Fish Activity
    As fall approaches, the fish activity at Lake Powell is quite vibrant. Striped bass are particularly active during this time, with early morning "boils" where they surface feed on shad. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also active, especially in the cooler morning and evening hours. Walleye and channel catfish are found in deeper waters and can be caught using the right lures and bait.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw a good number of striped bass caught, with some anglers reporting "boils" in the early morning hours. Largemouth bass were also common, with catches ranging from 2 to 4 pounds. Walleye and channel catfish were caught in deeper waters, and crappie were active near submerged structures.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, using top water lures and fly fishing gear is highly effective during this time. Look for long shad lines, birds, and bait fish schools to locate feeding stripers. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, jigs, crankbaits, and soft plastics work well. Walleye can be caught using jiggers and trollers, while channel catfish respond well to nightcrawlers and stink baits. Crappie can be caught using small jigs and minnows.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Wahweap Bay area, where the water temperature is around 77-81 degrees Fahrenheit. Another good spot is near the Castle Rock Cut, which has recently reopened, offering good access to deeper waters where walleye and channel catfish are found. Antelope Point Marina is also a convenient and productive area, especially for those using houseboats.

    Overall, Lake Powell is in great shape for fishing this time of year, with a variety of species active and ready to be caught. Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and enjoy your time on the water.
