The wind will be moderate, blowing at about 10 mph. Since Lake Powell is a large reservoir and not a coastal body of water, tidal reports are not applicable here. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. **Fish Activity:** Fish activity has been robust, especially for species like stripers, walleye, crappie, catfish, and bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a significant number of stripers, particularly during the early morning hours when they tend to boil near the surface. **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:** Yesterday saw a good catch of stripers, with many anglers reporting catches in the 2-5 pound range. Walleye were also active, especially when targeted with trolling methods. Crappie and catfish were caught in decent numbers, especially around submerged structures and drop-offs. **Best Lures and Bait:** For stripers, using shad-imitating lures or live bait such as shad or anchovies has been highly effective. For walleye, trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or using nightcrawlers on a jighead has worked well. Crappie are biting on small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie jigs in white or chartreuse. Catfish are taking bait such as nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or stink baits. **Hot Spots:** Two hot spots to consider are the Rock Creek area and the Wahweap Bay. Rock Creek has seen a lot of striper activity, especially in the early morning. Wahweap Bay is known for its walleye and crappie fishing, with many anglers finding success around the submerged rock piles and drop-offs. Overall, Lake Powell is a great place to be for fishing this time of year, with a variety of species active and ready to bite. Make sure to check your gear and be prepared for the cooler weather.

    Reel in the Catch: Autumn Fishing at Utah's Lake Powell

    As of November 24, 2024, Lake Powell in Utah is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the cooler autumn weather. 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. Enjoy your day at Lake Powell, and remember to check the weather to make the most of your fishing trip.
