Lake Powell Fishing Report - Stripers Crushing Shad, Perfect Conditions for Anglers
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, May 30th, 2025.
We're experiencing prime fishing conditions right now on Lake Powell with water temps hovering around 77 degrees. The lake elevation is sitting at 3557.96 feet, and fish are definitely active.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a beauty of a day with sunny skies and a high near 47 degrees. Winds will be light from the north-northeast at about 7 mph. Perfect day to be on the water! Tonight will cool down to around 34 degrees, so layer up if you're heading out for evening fishing.
All bass species are showing what I call "spring time good" activity. Smallmouth bass have been particularly active in the 40-70 foot range in canyons holding bait. Largemouth are hitting well on Texas-rigged Senkos and stick worms.
Striper fishing has been absolutely phenomenal! They've moved out of the main channel and into the back canyons following the shad. Those freshly hatched shad are getting absolutely hammered. Look for U-shaped coves near the main channels and bay areas - that's where the action is happening. The stripers are in their best condition in decades thanks to the huge shad bloom.
For lures, silver topwaters are your best bet in the early mornings when you see surface action. Zara Spooks and fly fishing poppers have been producing great results. For deeper water, try grubs in the 10-30 foot range, and Ned rigs have been outstanding for bass. Any shaky head setups will serve you well right now.
If you're trolling, shallow divers have been working well for not just stripers but largemouth and smallmouth too. Deep diving shad crankbaits are also producing when trolling points to the main channel.
Hot spots this week: Check out Padre Bay where slurping stripers have been observed in the main channel. Also, any points connecting to the main channel in that 40-70 foot range have been holding fish. Back canyons with shoreline brush are holding shad, and that's where the predators are lurking.
Be aware that with the full moon phase, topwater action might be spotty at best, but expect fishing to improve dramatically as we move past this moon phase.
