Lake Powell anglers, Artificial Lure here with your June 1, 2025 Lake Powell fishing report, bringing you the latest action, conditions, and local tips straight from the water!

We’ve got classic desert weather this morning: clear skies, gentle breezes, and temps rising into the high 80s by midday. Sunrise hit at 5:01 AM and sunset will be at 7:45 PM tonight, giving you plenty of daylight to chase those hungry bass and stripers. No tidal worries here—it’s reservoir fishing all the way.

According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department’s recent updates, water temperature in Wahweap Bay is holding steady at 66°F. That’s the magic number, folks—just right for an explosive bite across the lake. We’ve been seeing both mornings and late afternoons producing solid fish, but don’t be surprised if the hot streak hits closer to midday; the “morning bite” hasn’t always been the ticket this week, so stay out and keep casting even after breakfast.

This past week, the bite has been truly electric. Reports from local guides and anglers confirm that just about everything with fins is on the prowl: smallmouth bass are the most plentiful, but largemouth, crappie, bluegill, sunfish, walleye, and stripers are all feeding aggressively. Striped bass are especially cooperative right now, going “nuts all over the lake,” according to recent guide reports. Folks filling coolers at classic spots like the dam and the pump station are finding the anchovy bite is absolutely on fire—easy limits if you get on the schools early or stay late.

For best results, hit the coves and the tight slot canyons, target shallow structure, and cover water. Smallmouth and largemouth are stacking up in the warmer, sunlit coves. Top lures this week? Crankbaits diving 15-20 feet (think shad raps and flicker shad), Rat-L-Traps, curly tail grubs, and the trusty Ned rig. For stripers, nothing beats chunked anchovy on a Carolina rig, but don’t sleep on jigging heavy spoons over deeper schools. If you’re after topwater action, make sure to have a shad-imitator tied on for early dawn or if you hit a striper boil.

Hot spots right now include Warm Creek and Navajo Canyon on the southern end, and Good Hope Bay up to 2 Mile Canyon if you’re working the north. Recent surveys say the south sides of bays are consistently holding more fish—likely due to sunlight and baitfish concentrations.

Striper sizes are running 3-4 pounds on average, but big girls are always out there in 60-90 feet if you want to troll deeper with downriggers. Largemouth have been healthy, and you’ll find them in the brushier coves with decent sun all day.
