Lake Powell Fishing Report: Striper Bonanza, Bass on Chatter, and Trout Stocked


Listen Later

Hey anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, June 7th, 2025.

Sunrise hit about two hours ago at 5:02 AM, and we've got sunset coming at 7:43 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work those coves, points, and channel edges today. The lake level continues to rise dramatically—coming up nearly a foot daily—creating fresh structure opportunities and pushing hungry fish into shallower areas.

Water temps at Wahweap Bay are holding steady around 66°F, which is absolutely prime for active fish and spawning transitions. Weather-wise, we're looking at calm conditions through most of the morning with light breezes picking up this afternoon and highs in the mid-80s, so pack your sunscreen and plenty of water.

The striper bite remains absolutely explosive across the lake! Anglers are filling coolers at classic striper haunts like the Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are your best bet right now, but don't overlook shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons—they're producing solid results too. Look for those striper schools roaming in 15-60 feet, with the hottest action coming right after first light and again in late afternoon. Most fish are running 2-5 pounds, with some monsters pushing 10+ pounds.

For bass anglers, smallmouth and largemouth have slid a bit deeper recently. Target those 1-2 pound smallies in the 10-30 foot range with tubes or by trolling. If you're after largemouth, I'm hearing great reports on the Yamamoto Hula Grub—Texas rig a 5-incher with a 1/4 oz bullet weight in green pumpkin with black flake. Chatterbaits in green pumpkin with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer are also crushing it right now.

Hot spots this weekend: McClellan Reservoir just got stocked with nearly 1,200 rainbow trout on June 3rd, so that's worth checking out. On the main lake, Wahweap Bay has been productive, especially early morning, and the flooded brush around rising shorelines is holding nice bass.

For those wanting to try something different, the Rattletrap and Ned Rig have been consistent producers here at Powell over the years. Work those along rocky points and you'll likely connect with some quality smallmouth.
