Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 26, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a desert sidewalk in July!
Sunrise was at 6:23 AM and sunset's coming at 6:48 PM. Weather's been picture perfect - sunny skies, highs around 75°F, and just a whisper of a breeze. Water temp's sitting pretty at 64°F.
Now, onto the good stuff. Stripers have been going absolutely bonkers lately. Just last week, some lucky angler hauled in a 22-pounder near Wahweap Marina. They're schooling up in the main channel, especially around rock piles and submerged points. Best bet is to troll with shad-colored crankbaits or jig with anchovies in 30-60 feet of water.
Smallmouth bass fishing has been on fire too. They're hanging out near rocky shorelines and points in 15-25 feet of water. Ned rigs in watermelon color or small jerkbaits have been doing the trick. One fella I know caught and released over 50 in a single day!
For you walleye hunters, they've been biting well in the early mornings and late evenings. Try slow-trolling nightcrawler harnesses or jigging with minnows near the mouth of the Escalante River.
Catfish have been active at night, especially around Warm Creek Bay. Stinkbaits or cut anchovies on the bottom are your best bet.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Warm Creek Bay for a mixed bag of stripers and smallmouth, or head up to Bullfrog Bay for some trophy walleye action.
Remember, Lake Powell's water level is still low, so be extra careful navigating and watch out for those newly exposed hazards.
That's all for now, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines and see ya on the water!
