As of November 15, 2024, Lake Powell 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 Water Conditions
The water temperature in Wahweap Bay is currently ranging between 57 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit, which is typical for this time of year. The lake elevation is stable, and the water clarity is good, making it ideal for spotting fish.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, giving you a full day to fish.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity is quite high during the fall season at Lake Powell. The cooler temperatures have made the fish more active, especially in the deeper waters. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of species, including striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and walleye.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday saw some impressive catches. Several striped bass in the 10-15 pound range were landed, particularly in areas where shad schools were present. Largemouth and smallmouth bass were also abundant, with many catches in the 2-4 pound range. Walleye and channel catfish were also caught, though in smaller numbers.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, using shad-imitating lures or live shad as bait is highly effective. The stripers are actively feeding on schooling shad, so lures that mimic this behavior work well. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and crankbaits are good choices. Walleye can be caught using nightcrawlers or minnows, especially in the deeper waters.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the Castle Rock Cut, which is now open and providing excellent fishing opportunities. Another good spot is the Wahweap Bay area, where the fish are congregating in the deeper waters.
### Tidal Report
Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, it does not have tides. However, the water levels can fluctuate slightly due to power generation and other factors, but this does not significantly impact fishing conditions.
Overall, Lake Powell is a fantastic destination for fishing this time of year. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right areas, you can have a very successful day on the water. Enjoy your fishing trip
