Lake Powell Fishing Report: Dry Conditions, Compressed Bass, Live Bait Tips for December 2025

# Lake Powell Fishing Report - December 2nd, 2025

Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure with your daily Lake Powell fishing report. We're looking at some interesting conditions out on the water today as we head into early December.

**Current Conditions**

Lake Powell is sitting at about 29% capacity right now, which is pretty low but honestly typical for where we're at in the season. The drought situation continues to impact fish patterns across the lake. Weather-wise, December's starting dry for us here in Utah. We're looking at mainly dry conditions through the week with cooler temperatures expected Wednesday and Thursday. A weak system moved through yesterday bringing some wind, but nothing significant for us anglers today. It's going to be a decent day to get out on the water if you're dressed for it.

**Fish Activity & What's Biting**

Lake Powell remains known for its excellent bass fishing, and that's where your attention should be. Given the drought conditions we're experiencing, fish are congregating in deeper channels and around structure. The lake's low water levels mean fish are compressed into specific zones, which can actually work in your favor if you know where to look.

**Best Lures & Bait**

For bass fishing, stick with your darker-colored soft plastics and crankbaits. The low water clarity from drought conditions means fish are relying more on feeling vibrations, so don't hesitate to go with noisier lures. Live bait like shiners and crawfish remain solid choices if you want to go that route. The recent weather systems have fish on a feeding schedule, so your timing matters more than ever.

**Hot Spots**

Head toward the deeper main channel sections where Bullfrog Marina operates—that's where structure concentrates the fish. The areas around the submerged canyon formations north of Page tend to hold good populations even during low-water years.
