Artificial Lure here with your November 21st Lake Powell fishing report—good morning, anglers!

We’re easing into late fall out here on Powell, and as of this Friday, sunrise hit at 7:17 AM with sunset coming at 5:09 PM. Weather today’s looking crisp: expect partly cloudy skies, light winds, and a high near 54°F—perfect conditions for those willing to bundle up and chase some November action. No tides here in the high desert, but water levels remain low and steady after a dry summer, with Coyote Gulch reporting flows down near 150 cfs back in August and minimal change since.

Striped bass continue to headline the catch, holding deep in main channels and popping up around canyon mouths. While Utah’s biggest was the legendary 48 lb 11 oz striper caught here in ‘91, most folks this week have seen steady catches in the 3–8 lb range—solid fighters for sure. Smallmouth bass are still quite active, hitting rocky points and ledges with consistency, especially midday when the sun’s on the stones. Walleye are scattered but snagged in the shallows, mostly early or late when light’s low. A few crappie are showing up in the backs of Halls and Navajo Canyons, though numbers are way down compared to spring.

The feeding windows are prime from first light until 10 AM, and again late afternoon as shadows stretch and baitfish school up. Stripers are herding shad in shallow coves, so keep an eye out for surface boils or bird activity. Big schools are marking from 40–90 feet on sonar, and jigging vertically with spoons or soft plastics has been best.

If you’re wondering what’s producing, locals are sticking to classic fall lures. For stripers:
- 1–2 oz white or chartreuse jigging spoons
- Zoom flukes or swim shads on ½–¾ oz heads
- Live anchovy chunks if you can net some

Smallmouth are slamming natural-colored tube jigs and 3” curly-tails in green pumpkin. Ned rigs and drop-shot Roboworms are pulling plenty off rocky drop-offs near Lone Rock and Warm Creek. Walleye are feeding on slow-rolled chartreuse grubs tipped with nightcrawler—nothing fancy, just methodical bottom-bouncing works.

The reports from BigFishTackle and other forums say boaters working main lake points are filling limits on stripers—sometimes 20 fish or more a trip when sticking with the vertical jig method. Bank anglers near Wahweap and Antelope are landing fewer, but still picking up a handful of bass or stripers at dawn and dusk. Crappie remain scattered; best bets are brush piles near Dangling Rope.

Hot spots today:
- **Buoy 25**: Striper schools on sonar, deep-water jigging strong.
- **Bullfrog Marina cove**: Smallmouth cruising shallow cover and hitting tubes.
Also keep an eye on **Face Canyon**—birds and boils mean stripers and even a few walleye in the mix.

No illegal introductions lately but Utah DWR reminds everyone: if you catch something unusual, don’t toss it in another lake, help preserve the fishery! For the best chance, work your lures slow, keep your bait fresh, and mix up colors until you find the bite.
