Reel in the Latest Lake Powell Fishing Forecast for September 26, 2025

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure bringing you the latest on fishing around Lake Powell, Utah, for Friday, September 26th, 2025.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:13 AM with sunset around 7:15 PM, giving us about twelve solid hours of daylight to work the water. No tidal report to worry about here—Lake Powell’s ain’t tidal, but you’ll want to watch wind and weather. Out at Bullfrog Marina, we’re looking at patchy rain with a high reaching 85°F and lows tonight dropping to 65°. Winds are light from the ENE at about 5 mph, humidity’s holding at 40%, and visibility’s good. That makes for real fishable weather—just keep an eye out for those rain patches rolling through, especially if you’re up-canyon or near exposed points, as the bite can pick up right before a squall according to seasoned locals. Expect similar conditions across Wahweap Bay and up to Good Hope[WeatherWorld.com].

With streamflows to the south and west at around 82% of the seasonal norm, water levels on Powell are stable, giving fish no reason to move too far from structure and depth breaks right now. Water temps should be holding in the mid-70s, ideal for both bass and stripers to stay active mid-day[Snoflo].

Reports from guides in the past week show good numbers of striped bass coming up on deep bait balls—especially early and again late afternoon. Folks have been picking up stripers by the dozens below Bullfrog and Halls Crossing trolling deep divers and vertical jigging with silver spoons right off the points and channel bends. The anchovy chunk bite is hot at dusk along the shade lines and around the marinas. If you want action, drop some salted anchovy on a 1oz weight and let it sit just off bottom—especially under the lights at the courtesy docks after dark.

For largemouth and smallmouth, rocky coves and the reefs around Stanton Creek and Last Chance Bay have been consistent producers. This week, soft plastics—watermelon or pumpkin tube jigs and Ned rigs—are working in 10–20 feet. The morning topwater bite’s been lively with walking baits and popping lures tossed parallel to shore. Bring a spinnerbait for windier afternoons. Several anglers have also picked up quality smallmouth chucking crankbaits along submerged ledges from Padre Bay up toward Rock Creek.

Crappie and walleye have turned on near brush piles and shallow flats at the north end. Use small curly-tail grubs for crappie, especially near the submerged trees up north, and troll bottom bouncers with a nightcrawler harness for walleye when the sun’s low.

For catfish, chicken livers and stinkbait on the sandy flats at Warm Creek still bring steady bites in the evenings.

Two hotspot picks for the weekend:
- **The mouth of Navajo Canyon**: excellent schooling striper action—troll mid-depth or watch for surface boils at dawn.
- **Dangling Rope area**: hammering smallmouths along the broken rock and submerged humps—tube baits and drop-shot Roboworms are killer here.

Bird migration is on the move this month, so keep your eyes peeled for gulls and herons—where they’re feeding, fish are usually busting baitfish just beneath.
