Fishing action was moderate today on Lake Powell, with fish being found in several areas around the new Bullfrog Marina location.
π Smallmouth Bass
π Smallmouth Bass
A number of smallmouth were caught while working the shoreline around the new Bullfrog Marina location. Several different presentations produced fish, but the most effective bait was the Yamamoto 176 Single Tail Grub.
Five smallmouth were kept, with multiple additional fish released. The key was covering water β anglers had to work the shoreline up and down to find active fish rather than staying in one spot.
π£ Striped Bass
π£ Striped Bass
Striper action was heavy around the houseboat buoy field, particularly in the area between the houseboats and the shoreline on the marina side.
Heavy spoons were effective, and several small "boils" were observed in the area. Anglers were able to take advantage of these feeding fish when they surfaced.
π Walleye

Two walleyes were caught in the same general area while fishing soft baits.
π Today's Takeaway
π Today's Takeaway
The fish are there, but anglers may need to move and cover water to stay on them. The shoreline around the new Bullfrog Marina location produced smallmouth, while the houseboat buoy field offered strong striper activity and some walleye opportunity.
Lake Powell is showing a mix of opportunities right now β keep moving, watch for surface activity, and be ready to change presentations.

Smallmouth, Striped Bass & Walleye at Lake Powell
Smallmouth, Striped Bass & Walleye at Lake Powell
Fishing Area: Forgotten Canyon
Launch: New Bullfrog Boat Ramp
Target Species: Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass & Walleye
π£ DAYTIME β SMALLMOUTH BASS
π£ DAYTIME β SMALLMOUTH BASS
Fishing was generally slow today in Forgotten Canyon, but some smallmouth were caught by pitching Yamamoto 176 around the rock piles.
The rock piles in the canyon are now very limited, but where they were available, pitching the Yamamoto 176 produced some fish.
The largest smallmouth was approximately 3 pounds.
The bigger fish tended to be holding in deeper water off the rock piles, often more than 10 feet away from the rocks. This was different from the typical pattern with this technique, which usually produces fish within about 5 feet of the rock pile.
π NIGHT FISHING β STRIPED BASS & WALLEYE
π NIGHT FISHING β STRIPED BASS & WALLEYE
Fishing continued after dark from 9:00 PM until midnight, using green LED lights off the back of the houseboat.
We caught several striped bass and one walleye while fishing between approximately 20 and 50 feet.
Anchovies and a jig head were used during the night bite.
