あらすじ・解説
For December 1, 2024, at Lake Powell, Utah, here’s what you can expect:
### Weather and Water Conditions
Today, the weather at Lake Powell is expected to be quite chilly, with temperatures fluctuating between 27°F and 54°F. The water temperature is around 60°F, which is typical for this time of year. Wind gusts could reach up to 68 mph, so be prepared for some rough conditions.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 4:45 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity is moderate, especially as the water cools down. Trout are more active during the early morning and late afternoon, around 6-9 AM and 4-7 PM. Bass are more active during peak sunlight hours, between 10 AM and 4 PM. Perch tend to school more as temperatures drop, with their activity peaking in the late afternoon.
### Fish Caught Yesterday
Reports from yesterday indicate that anglers caught a mix of trout, bass, and perch. Trout were caught in deeper waters, while bass were found in shallow coves near vegetation or submerged structures. Perch were schooling around rock piles and drop-offs at depths of 10-20 feet.
### Best Lures and Bait
For trout, use Mepps spinners or small spoons (1/16 oz) as they react well to moving baits in cooler weather. For bass, Texas-rigged worms and spinnerbaits are effective, mimicking fleeing baitfish. For perch, tiny jigs in green/yellow patterns work well.
### Hot Spots
Focus on the warmer areas of the lake for bass, such as shallow coves near vegetation. For trout, target deeper waters, especially around ledges. Perch can be found around rock piles and drop-offs.
### Additional Tips
Keep an eye on wind direction as it can push baitfish to certain shores, attracting bass. Consistent wind from the west will push baitfish to the east shores. Also, monitor atmospheric pressure changes, as stable pressure can increase fish activity.
Bullfrog Marina is a good launch point, and there are several designated fishing platforms around the lake. Make sure to check local regulations and guidelines for size and catch limits, and don’t forget your state-issued fishing license.
Enjoy your day at Lake Powell
