  • February Fishing Report: Lively Bass, Stripers at Lake Powell, Utah

    February Fishing Report: Lively Bass, Stripers at Lake Powell, Utah
    Feb 8 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the current fishing scene at Lake Powell, Utah, as of February 8, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at clear skies with mild winter temperatures, ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit. The winds are moderate, averaging around 6-7 mph, which is just right for a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:04 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    Since Lake Powell is a freshwater lake, there's no tidal report to worry about, but the water level is currently low. However, this hasn't deterred the fish activity. The water temperature is around the mid-50s to low 60s, which is typical for this time of year.

    Fish activity is quite lively, especially for smallmouth bass. These guys are particularly active around submerged rock piles and main channel rocky points in 25-30 feet of water. Largemouth bass can be found in the warmer coves that receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Striped bass are also present, often deeper in the water column. Recently, anglers have reported catching a mix of smallmouth and largemouth bass, along with some striped bass. The smallmouth bass have been in the 1-3 pound range, while largemouth bass have been slightly larger. Striped bass catches have included fish weighing in the 3-5 pound range.

    For lures, topwater action with small and large Zara Spooks is effective early in the day. As the sun rises, switch to drop-shot jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or single tail grubs on 1/8 and 3/16 oz. jig heads. Colors such as smoke, watermelon, white, and chartreuse are working well. For striped bass, trolling with shad color rattle traps or crankbaits near submerged rocks in the main channel has been productive.

    If you're looking for live bait, minnows or nightcrawlers are always a good choice. They heighten your chances of success, especially when varied retrieval speeds and depths are used to match the fish’s activity level.

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Bullfrog Basin near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. This area is known for its abundant bass populations, and you can often find smallmouth bass around underwater structures and drop-offs near rocky points. For striped bass, Padre Bay is ideal, especially when trolling near the submerged canyon walls. Wahweap Bay, near the Wahweap Marina, is another good spot for smallmouth bass and offers easy access to other fruitful areas.

    In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Powell. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, you're set for a successful fishing trip. Stay observant of changing weather conditions and adjust your approach accordingly. Happy fishing, and I'll see you on the water

  • Fishing Report Lake Powell Utah February 2025 Walleye Smallmouth Bass Crappie Hot Spots

    Fishing Report Lake Powell Utah February 2025 Walleye Smallmouth Bass Crappie Hot Spots
    Feb 7 2025
    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 7, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. It's a crisp winter morning with temperatures hovering around the mid-40s, 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 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving us a good window to catch some fish.

    Lake Powell, straddling the Utah-Arizona border, is known for its vast and diverse fishing opportunities. Since it's a large man-made lake, there aren't any tidal reports to worry about, but water levels can fluctuate. Currently, the water level is relatively stable, 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 they are considered some of the best eating fish in the lake. They have a taste similar to chicken but with a slightly sweet twist. For walleye, try using lures like jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, and don't forget to dip them in egg and roll them in pancake mix before frying for a delicious meal[1][2][4].

    Smallmouth bass are also very active during this period, especially in the cooler months. April, September, and October are the best times to catch them, but they can be caught year-round. Use lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics to entice these feisty fish. They have a light white meat with a really good flavor, and fileting them with a beer batter and frying is a local favorite[1][4].

    For those looking to catch largemouth bass, they are typically found in deeper waters and can be caught year-round. Largemouth bass have a more fishy taste compared to smallmouth bass, but smoking them using alder or cherry wood brings out their best flavor[1].

    If you're after striped bass, the summer months are usually the best time, but you can still catch them during the cooler months when they go deeper. Look for areas where shad are schooling, as stripers tend to "boil" or surface feed on them. Use cut dead anchovies or shad casts to lure them in. Trophy-sized stripers can be found in waters around 64 degrees and at depths of 60-90 feet[2][4].

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. Bullfrog Bay, located near the northern end of the lake, is a prime spot for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point, near the southern tip, is great for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass. Halls Crossing, one of the main marinas, is a popular spot for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout[2][4].

    In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Powell with clear skies, cool temperatures, and active fish. Focus on walleye, smallmouth bass, and crappie using the right lures and baits, and you'll be in for a treat. Head over to Bullfrog Bay or Antelope Point for some of the best fishing spots, and don't forget to enjoy the breathtaking scenery that Lake Powell has to offer.

    Happy fishing, and tight lines

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report: Stripers, Smallies, and More in Late Winter

    Lake Powell Fishing Report: Stripers, Smallies, and More in Late Winter
    Feb 5 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share my latest fishing report for Lake Powell, Utah, as of February 5, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset is expected at 5:34 PM. The weather is crisp, with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 43 degrees, making it a perfect day to be out on the water. Since Lake Powell is a landlocked lake, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but the water levels are stable, which is great for fishing.

    Recently, the fish activity on Lake Powell has been quite lively, especially for those targeting striped bass. Late winter is an excellent time to catch stripers, as they tend to congregate in the upper end of the lake. I've heard reports of anglers catching large schools of stripers in areas like Striper City and the mouth of Trachyte, where depths range from 35 to 55 feet. One angler even reported catching 42 stripers in just over an hour by using spoons and jigging a Kastmaster[1].

    For those looking to catch other species, Bullfrog Bay near the northern end of the lake is a hotspot for largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie. Antelope Point at the southern tip is also a great spot for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass[2].

    When it comes to lures and bait, the key is to use what the fish are naturally feeding on. For striped bass, using cut dead anchovies or shad when available can be very effective. During the summer months when shad are abundant, casting surface lures into the "boils" can yield impressive results. However, in the cooler months, stripers tend to go deeper, so using spoons or jigs in depths of 60-90 feet can be more productive[5].

    For other species like smallmouth and largemouth bass, using crankbaits, plugs, or spinners can be very effective. Smallmouth bass are particularly active in cooler water, so April, September, or October are great months to target them. Largemouth bass, on the other hand, can be found in deeper waters year-round[5].

    If you prefer using natural bait, minnows, crickets, and earthworms are always good options. For walleye and crappie, jigging with minnows or using leeches can be very successful[3].

    In summary, today is a great day to hit the waters of Lake Powell. With the right lures and bait, you can expect to catch a variety of fish species. Here are a couple of hot spots to consider:

    - **Striper City and the mouth of Trachyte**: Excellent for striped bass using spoons and jigs.
    - **Bullfrog Bay**: Prime spot for largemouth bass, walleye, and crappie.
    - **Antelope Point**: Good for smallmouth bass, walleye, and striped bass.
