  • 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 12, 2025.

    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. The conditions are perfect, and the fish are waiting. Happy fishing
