Lake Powell Fishing Report December 3 2025 - Cold Conditions, Strong Bass and Salmon Bites

# Lake Powell Fishing Report – December 3rd, 2025

Howdy folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, December 3rd.

We're looking at some cold conditions out here today. Sunrise was around 7:41 this morning, and we'll be wrapping up around 5:15 this evening, so you've got a solid window to get out on the water. Temperature-wise, it's chilly – we're sitting in the low 30s, so bundle up and wear that life jacket.

**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**

The good news is we're seeing some solid action out here. Bass fishing remains strong this time of year, with both smallmouth and largemouth bass showing good catch rates. Anglers are having success with soft plastic worms, tube jigs, and drop-shot rigs. If you're targeting walleye, we're seeing decent bites on minnow imitations and feather jigs in pearl and chartreuse colors.

For the trophy hunters out there, we've got some legitimate fall chinook salmon in the system right now. Biologists have been tracking them through the Sacramento-San Joaquin system, and they're making their way upriver. These fish are burning energy fast, so they're actively feeding.

**Best Lures & Baits**

For bass, work those jigs and soft plastics along deeper structures. Trolling with tube jigs and marabou patterns is producing. If you're shore fishing, garlic or corn-scented trout dough baits work wonders. For active anglers, cast spinners like Thomas Speedy Shiners and Rapala Originals – they'll get bit.

**Hot Spots**

Head toward the deeper channels and structure – that's where the bass are hanging this time of year. Current conditions data shows anglers targeting the 15 to 25-foot water column are seeing consistent results. The transition zones between shallow and deep water are prime territory right now.

**Regulations Reminder**

Keep in mind you can take six bass any size, four trout, and if you connect with a tiger muskie, it's gotta be over 40 inches. We're currently closed to spearfishing.

Stay safe out there, wear your life jacket, and remember – Lake Powell's a beautiful but powerful place. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for your next fishing report.
