Lake Powell Fishing Report March 2025 - Smallies, Stripers & More on the Bite

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 21, 2025.

Sun's coming up at 6:32 AM and setting at 7:28 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get some lines wet. Weather's looking mighty fine today - mostly sunny skies with highs near 70°F and light winds around 5-10 mph. Water temp's sitting pretty at 58°F.

Now, Lake Powell ain't got no tides to speak of, being landlocked and all. But water levels are holding steady at about 3,570 feet above sea level.

Fishing's been heating up lately as those bass start moving shallow for the spawn. Smallmouth have been the hot ticket, with good numbers being caught in 10-20 feet of water on main lake points and rocky shorelines. Largemouth are starting to show up in the backs of canyons too.

Stripers are still mostly deep, but we're seeing some schools busting shad up on the surface in the early mornings. Walleye fishing's been decent too, especially for you night owls out there.

For lures, you can't go wrong with a drop shot rig and a 4-inch finesse worm for those smallies. Shad-colored crankbaits and spinnerbaits are working well too. For stripers, try trolling deep-diving plugs or jigging spoons in 30-50 feet.

If you're looking for some hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been producing well for smallmouth, and the back of Navajo Canyon is holding some nice largemouth. For stripers, try the main channel near Antelope Point.

That's all for now, folks. Remember to pick up your new fishing license if you haven't already. Tight lines and see you on the water!
