Lake Powell Fishing Report March 2025: Stripers, Smallies, and Walleye Biting Strong

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 28, 2025. The weather's been treating us right lately, with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties.

Now, Lake Powell doesn't have tides, but water levels have been rising lately due to some fantastic spring runoff. The lake's up about 60 feet from last year, which means more shoreline to explore and new structure for fish to hide in.

Fishing's been heating up, folks! Stripers, smallmouth bass, and walleye have all been active lately. We've been seeing some nice catches, with stripers in the 3-4 pound range being pretty common. A lucky angler even landed a 22-pounder last November, so those big ones are still out there!

For you striper hunters, try using cut anchovies or shad-colored crankbaits. The stripers have been hanging out in water about 30 to 80 feet deep, especially near river inlets like the Colorado and Dirty Devil arms. If you're after smallmouth, single tail grubs in smoke or watermelon color have been doing the trick. They're loving those rocky points in 25-30 feet of water.

Walleye fishing's been picking up too. Try trolling with bottom bouncers trailing spinners with a worm. They've been biting best in the early morning and late evening.

As for hot spots, Bullfrog Bay's been producing some nice catches lately, especially for bass and crappie. If you're feeling adventurous, head up to the San Juan arm. It's a bit of a journey, but the fishing's been excellent, and you can't beat the scenery.

Remember, folks, there's no limit on stripers or walleye, so feel free to keep what you catch. Just make sure you've got your Utah fishing license if you're on the Utah side of the lake.

That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines to ya!
