Artificial Lure here, bringing your Lake Powell fishing report for Monday, November 24, 2025.

Clear skies greeted anglers this morning as the sun cracked the horizon at 6:43 am, with sunset set for 5:36 pm according to timeanddate.com. Thermometers started in the low 40s, warming quickly to a brisk 53 °F through midday, with light winds out of the east and calm water early. No tidal movement in this freshwater reservoir, but post-frontal conditions meant bright light and shallow bite early, especially in shadowed coves.

Weatherworld.com reports that the forecast is sunny through the day, highs around 53 °F, lows dipping to 42 °F overnight. Expect light ripples—perfect for topwater presentations and searching for active fish cruising the shallows.

Local chatter and the Lake Powell Chronicle say stripers and smallmouth bass continue to drive most of the action. Striped bass schools are pushing shad up against the rocks and into the backs of canyons and creek arms, especially near Wahweap and the southern channel approaches. Anglers have found solid action on smaller stripers, with reports of limits coming from the mouth of Warm Creek and off the points near Navajo Canyon.

Smallmouth bass remain stacked along chunk rock banks and submerged brush, feeding aggressively before winter. The best catches this week came off soft plastics—green pumpkin tubes and 3-inch swim baits on light jig heads—fished slow and deep, especially during the afternoon when water warms up a tick.

For stripers, the hot ticket is working spoons and anchovy-tipped jigs vertically through the schools marked on sonar, with morning hours best before they scatter deeper. Folks using anchovy cut bait squared up good numbers, and some larger fish up to the three-pound mark were reported.

Lure recommendations:
- For stripers: try silver Kastmasters or bucktail jigs dressed with a bit of anchovy.
- For smallmouth: green pumpkin tube baits, Ned rigs, and small swimbaits like Keitech Easy Shiner have pulled the most bites.
- If you’re after walleye—which are less common but possible this time of year—slow-rolled crankbaits like Rapala Shad Raps along rocky drop-offs after sunset can tease out a bite.

Bait: Fresh or salted anchovies are working best for stripers when the artificial bite slows midday. Night anglers snag a few catfish using chicken liver off sandy beaches near Antelope Point.

Hot spots today:
- **Wahweap Marina entrance** – stripers schooling on shad, best action between 7 am and 10 am.
- **Navajo Canyon points** – smallmouth and striper mix, tubes and jigs take both.
- **Warm Creek mouth** – bait fishermen filled coolers with eating-size stripers before the wind picked up.

With the lake sitting at roughly 67% of normal water levels, many shoreline structures are exposed. That means fish are relating tight to cover, and your best bet is to cast right up against visible rock and wood. Afternoon warms bring cruising bass shallow—prime time for those tossing jerkbaits or working plastics slow.

No big tournaments on the books today, so the lake’s yours—just keep an eye on the wind in the afternoon and plan to tuck into a cove if it picks up. Fish activity should remain steady as long as the sun’s shining and water temps hold.
