Lake Powell March 30 2025 Fishing Report - Hot Action, Limits, and Tight Lines!

Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for March 30, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a jalapeno in July!

Now, we don't have tides to worry about here on Powell, but the lake level's sittin' pretty at 3,570 feet. Sunrise was at 6:15 AM and sunset's gonna be at 7:42 PM, givin' us plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones.

Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a beautiful day with highs around 75°F and a light breeze from the southwest. Perfect conditions for some topwater action!

Speaking of action, the fish have been more active than a one-armed paper hanger! Stripers are still the main attraction, with schools boilin' up all over the main channel. Some folks have been hauling in 20-30 fish per day, with the biggest ones tipping the scales at 22 pounds. The hot lure for stripers has been the Rattletrap in a shad pattern, but don't overlook the trusty anchovy if you're looking to fill the cooler.

Smallmouth bass fishing has been phenomenal too. These bronzebacks are hitting hard on Ned rigs and small crankbaits. Best colors have been watermelon and smoke for the soft plastics, and anything with a blue back for the cranks. I've been hearing reports of 4-5 pounders being caught regularly.

Walleye fishing picked up this past week, with some nice eaters in the 2-3 pound range. Try slow-rolling a nightcrawler harness along points and drop-offs in 15-25 feet of water.

For you catfish enthusiasts, the channels have been biting well after dark. Throw out some cut bait or stink bait near rocky shorelines and hang on!

As for hot spots, Warm Creek Bay has been on fire for stripers, and the back of Navajo Canyon is producing some chunky smallies. If you're looking for a mixed bag, try fishing the rock piles near Antelope Point Marina.

Remember, folks, the limit on stripers and walleye is unlimited, so feel free to keep what you can use. For everything else, check your regs and practice catch and release when you can.

That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off and reminding you: the worst day fishing is still better than the best day working! Tight lines!
