  • サマリー

  • As of December 21, 2024, Lake Powell is offering some exciting fishing opportunities despite the cooler winter conditions. 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 54-61°F, which is typical for this time of year. The lake elevation is at 3,575.52 feet and continues to drop slightly[1][5].

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from a high of around 39°F to a low of 23°F. Winds are moderate, averaging about 6-7 mph, which should not significantly impact your fishing trip[4].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at approximately 7:45 AM, and sunset is around 4:45 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    During the winter months, fish tend to be less active, but certain species are still quite catchable. Smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are active year-round, although they might be more sluggish in the colder water. Striped bass, which are usually more active in warmer waters, can still be caught, especially in deeper areas where the water is slightly warmer[2][3].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and some striped bass. The smallmouth bass were found in shallower waters near rocky structures, while the largemouth bass were in deeper areas. Striped bass were caught in depths of around 60-90 feet, particularly in areas like Padre Bay and the San Juan Arm[2][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, using small red worms, crickets, or crayfish as bait can be very effective. Micro jigs that imitate natural food are also recommended. For striped bass, cut dead anchovies or shad imitations work well, especially during the surface feeding frenzies known as "boils"[2][3].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Bullfrog Basin**: This area near Bullfrog Marina is a hotspot for bass and crappie. The numerous coves and inlets provide excellent shelter for fish.
    - **Padre Bay**: Known for its deep waters, Padre Bay is ideal for catching large striped bass. Trolling near the submerged canyon walls is a popular technique here.
    - **Wahweap Bay**: Near the Wahweap Marina, this bay is a great starting point for many fishing adventures and is perfect for smallmouth bass[3].

    Remember to respect the environment and follow catch-and-release practices where necessary to preserve the lake’s natural balance. Enjoy your fishing trip to Lake Powell
