If you're planning to head out to Lake Powell in Utah today, November 14, 2024, you're in for a great day of fishing. The weather is mild and ideal, with clear skies and temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-60s. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

Since Lake Powell is a large inland lake, there are no tidal reports to consider, but the water temperature has cooled down significantly, making many fish species more active. Yesterday saw a lot of action from various fish species. Anglers reported catching a good number of smallmouth bass, with some weighing in the 2-3 pound range, and largemouth bass, with some larger ones tipping the scales at around 4-5 pounds. Striped bass, walleye, and channel catfish were also caught, particularly in the deeper waters.

The fish are most active in the early morning and late evening, especially around rocky points and inlets. For the best results, use swim baits and double tail hula grubs, throwing them out on rocky points and inlets in water 4 to 20 feet deep. Let the lure sink, then retrieve it slowly, jerking it occasionally. For deeper fishing, anchovies about 40 to 70 feet down have been effective for catching stripers and catfish.

Two hot spots to consider are the rocky points and inlets around the lake, particularly those near Antelope Point Marina. These areas have been yielding significant catches recently.

Overall, the fall season at Lake Powell is in full swing, and the conditions are perfect for a successful day of fishing. So grab your gear and enjoy the beautiful Utah scenery while reeling in some great catches.
