Lake Powell June 4th 2025 Fishing Report - Striper Frenzy, Diverse Bites, & Optimal Conditions
Artificial Lure coming to you with the June 4th, 2025 fishing report for Lake Powell, Utah—let’s get you dialed in for a day on the water.
Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM and sunset’s coming at 7:43 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to work the coves, points, and channel edges. Lake levels are on the rise, coming up nearly a foot a day—meaning new structure to target and hungry fish moving shallow. Water temps at Wahweap Bay are holding right around 66°F, prime for active fish and spawning transitions according to Arizona Game & Fish Department.
Weather today: Calm conditions most of the morning, with light breezes picking up in the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid-80s—pack your sunscreen and plenty of water.
Now, on to the bite: This week the action’s been absolutely explosive across the lake. The striped bass bite is red hot—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 unbeatable right now, but shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons are also landing fish. Striper schools are roaming in 15–60 feet, with the best action coming after first light and again in the late afternoon. Average fish are in that 2–5 lb range, with an occasional whopper north of 10 pounds being reported by locals and guides.
Smallmouth bass are loaded up on rocky main-lake points and secondary shelves, hitting Ned rigs, tubes, and drop-shot finesse worms in earth tones. The largemouth bass bite is best in sun-warmed coves with brush or flooded tumbleweed flats—throw weightless stickbaits or spinnerbaits right to the cover and hang on. According to FishingPowell.com, largemouth numbers are solid and the fish are chunky.
Crappie and bluegill are being caught around submerged timber, especially in the back of canyons—mini-jigs, curly tails, and small live minnows are best. Walleye are showing in low light on crankbaits along mudlines. Catfish are always an option after sundown with cut bait just off the sandy flats.
If you want to maximize your odds today, hot spots include Navajo Canyon for mixed bags and the area below Antelope Marina for stripers chasing bait. Another strong bet is the back of Warm Creek, where the water’s coming up into new brush and all species are pushing shallow.
Last reminder: there are no tides on Lake Powell since it’s a reservoir, so don’t wait for a tidal swing—fish are moving all day and some of the best action has been late morning into the afternoon.
