Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for June 15, 2025.

Sunrise came early at 5:02 AM and sunset wraps things up at 7:43 PM, providing a big 14-hour window to chase that next personal best. Early June weather is treating us right: calm and cool in the mornings, highs rising through the mid-80s by midday, with afternoons seeing a fresh breeze across the water. No tides out here—just that classic desert reservoir rise. After a wild, wet spring, runoff is starting to slow, but water levels are still climbing by more than a foot a day, flooding brush and new structure all along the shoreline. Water temps are holding steady around 66°F, and the clarity is excellent from Wahweap Bay up through the main channel, according to recent data from Arizona Game & Fish.

The bass bite is bouncing! Smallmouth and largemouth have slid deeper, but they’re hungry—look for smallmouth in 10 to 30 feet of water, especially off main lake points and inside flooded brush pockets. Trolling and tubing are producing steady 1 to 2-pounders, with better largemouth reports coming from the San Juan Arm. Early on, a Zara Spook or Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait will get explosive topwater strikes. Once the sun’s up, rigging a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig or a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub pitched into fresh brush is the ticket. Jig and chatterbait fans have been cashing in, too—try a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer along rocky shorelines and around submerged structure.

Striped bass are absolutely going off. Hundreds have been cleaned at Wahweap Marina this week, most running a solid 2 to 5 pounds, with the occasional double-digit brute landed by folks willing to hunt schools stacking up deep. Early mornings are magic for topwater action; watch for surface boils and hit them with silver spoons or shad-imitating swimbaits. For numbers, it’s hard to beat dead anchovies on a Carolina rig, especially in the striper hot spots like Navajo Canyon, Warm Creek, or up north at Good Hope Bay and 2 Mile Canyon. If you’re after quality over quantity, trolling deeper diving plugs and vertical jigging heavy spoons near bait balls has been landing the fattest fish with those signature pink fillets.

A quick word on walleye: Not typically the main Lake Powell target, but this year reports are up, with a couple a day showing up as bycatch in most boats. Try a flicker shad or shad rap around rocky ledges.

For hot spots, don’t miss:
- Wahweap Marina: fantastic for morning stripers and deep bass.
- The San Juan Arm: best for largemouth this week.
- Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek: loaded with stripers on both bait and spoons.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell, Utah, fishing report for June 14, 2025.

Sunrise this morning kicked off at 5:02 AM, and sunset will slide in at 7:43 PM, giving you almost 15 hours to chase Lake Powell’s famed stripers, bass, and more. We’re seeing classic early summer weather: light winds at dawn, picking up by mid-afternoon, and temps rising into the mid-80s. Water’s holding steady at 66°F at Wahweap Bay, and the lake elevation is over 3558 feet, which means that fresh spring runoff is flooding new brush and structure—prime real estate for feeding bass and active stripers.

Fishing has been downright explosive all week. Striped bass are absolutely thick, with hundreds being hauled in daily and cleaned at Wahweap Marina. Most are running 2 to 5 pounds, though a few double-digit fish are still coming in for the patient or lucky. Big schools of striper are working shad balls from the Glen Canyon Dam through the main basin and up toward the pump station. Early mornings are prime for topwater action—watch for boils and toss a silver or gold spoon, or throw shad-imitating swimbaits and vertical spoons for some knock-down, drag-out action. If you want numbers, dead anchovies on a Carolina rig is still king, especially back in the canyons and striper haunts where shad are thick.

Bass fishing is solid, but you’ll want to fish a bit deeper with the water warming and the sun climbing higher. Smallmouths up to 2 pounds are sitting 10 to 30 feet deep—try trolling or tubing near cliff faces and around submerged brush. For largemouth, the San Juan Arm has lit up with solid action, especially where fresh brush meets deeper water. Zara Spooks have been killer early under overcast, while those working the bottom are scoring with the Yamamoto Hula Grub and the Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait. Don’t forget to rig a Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin and add a chartreuse-tipped tail—it’s catching bass at every depth right now. Pitch chatterbaits or jigs into flooded brush for bonus bites.

Walleye reports are up this year, with anglers picking up a couple a day as bycatch, mostly on shad raps and flicker shad trolled at 15–20 feet. Crappie, catfish, and even the occasional fat carp are hitting for those who slow down and work the coves.

Top hotspots:
- Wahweap Marina and the stretch to Glen Canyon Dam for striper boils and non-stop action.
- San Juan Arm for largemouth and mixed bags.
- Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek for those looking to mix up bass and striper.

With the lake on the rise and fish on the chew, now’s the time to wet a line at Powell.

The weather is classic early summer—expect calm mornings with light breezes picking up by afternoon, and highs in the mid-80s. Don't forget that sunscreen and stay hydrated, folks According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department, water temperatures at Wahweap Bay are holding steady at a fish-friendly 66°F, which is perfect for active fish and late spawning transitions.

Recently, the striped bass have been absolutely on fire, with hundreds being cleaned daily at Wahweap Marina. Most stripers are running 2–5 pounds, but a few bruisers over 10 pounds are still coming in for patient anglers willing to hunt. Early mornings are prime for topwater action—look for boils and have your silver or gold spoons ready, or throw shad-imitating swimbaits and vertical spoons. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still king for numbers, especially in back canyons and areas thick with shad.

For bass enthusiasts, the Yamamoto Hula Grub and Chatterbait are great choices. The Hula Grub is perfect for imitating crawfish, while the Chatterbait is excellent for locating staging bass along shorelines. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, the Megabass Vision 110 jerbait is a top pick, especially in areas with flooded brush and structure.

If you're looking for hot spots, the San Juan Arm is a great place for largemouth bass, and the back canyons near Wahweap Bay are perfect for stripers chasing shad. The lake's rising fast, flooding new brush and structure, which is ideal for feeding bass and stripers.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, June 13, 2025.

First off, today is shaping up sunny and hot, with early morning temps in the low 70s climbing toward the mid-90s by afternoon. The sunrise kicked off at 5:02 AM, and sunset will roll around at 8:07 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to work those canyons and coves.

With the reservoir still on the rise thanks to a robust spring runoff, water levels are up and the main ramp at Wahweap is fully open. Boat launching’s a breeze, and that extra water means even more shoreline to explore.

The big news this week is the red-hot striped bass bite. According to local guides and cleaning station chatter at Wahweap Marina, hundreds of stripers—ranging from thin spawners to a few chunky fillet-worthy fatties—are being pulled in daily. Average striper size runs between 3-4 pounds, but there’s always a shot at a trophy if you’re willing to hunt deep or troll outside the main crowds. Early mornings, especially within the first 45 minutes of light, are prime time for topwater action. Toss shad-imitating lures like Zara Spooks, or troll whole anchovies in 60-90 feet for your best chance at a solid haul.

Bass have settled deeper with the heat moving in. Smallmouths are being caught in 10-30 feet—look for rocky points and submerged brush. Tubing and trolling soft plastics are putting up 1-2 pound smallmouths consistently. Largemouth action is stronger up the San Juan Arm; overcast mornings have seen great catches on topwater lures.

Targeting bass? Local favorites include the Yamamoto Hula Grub texas-rigged in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake, 3/8 oz chatterbaits with baby bass fluke trailers, and classic jigs in green pumpkin with red flake. Fish these baits slow on the bottom or pitched into flooded brush for best results.

Walleye action is also picking up. Reports have anglers stumbling onto a few walleye each trip, with trolling crankbaits and worm harnesses around rocky humps and structure yielding the best results.

For those after catfish or panfish, channel cats are taking sink baits, anchovies, or even table scraps on Carolina rigs in shallow coves after dark. Crappie remain spotty but are catchable around submerged trees using small minnows or jigs.

Hot spots right now:
- Wahweap Bay for stripers and early morning boils.
- The San Juan Arm for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially near brushy and timbered coves.

That’s the scoop for June 13th from Lake Powell—don’t forget your sunscreen and plenty of ice for your catch. Thanks for tuning in, and remember to subscribe for the latest Lake Powell updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, June 11th, 2025.

The sun’s up at 5:02 AM with sunset rolling in at 7:43 PM, giving anglers nearly 15 hours to target Lake Powell’s monsters. Weather is classic early summer—expect calm mornings with light breezes picking up by afternoon and highs in the mid-80s, so bring your sunscreen and stay hydrated. According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department, water temperatures at Wahweap Bay are holding steady at 66°F, which is right in the sweet spot for active fish and late spawning transitions. Thanks to a heavy spring runoff, the lake’s rising over a foot a day, flooding new brush and structure; perfect habitat for feeding bass and stripers.

The bite has been explosive this week. The striped bass are absolutely on fire—hundreds being cleaned daily down at Wahweap Marina, with big schools working bait balls from the Glen Canyon Dam up through the main lake pump station. Most stripers are running 2–5 pounds, but a few bruisers over 10 are still coming in for patient anglers willing to hunt. Early mornings are prime for topwater action—look for boils and have your silver or gold spoons ready, or throw shad-imitating swimbaits and vertical spoons. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still king for numbers, especially in the classic striper haunts and the back canyons where shad are thick.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid a bit deeper with the warming water. You’ll find smallmouth in 10–30 feet, best caught on Ned rigs, Texas-rigged hula grubs, or green pumpkin chatterbaits with a baby bass fluke trailer. Largemouth are stacked up around flooded timber and brush in the San Juan Arm—try pitching jigs or dragging soft plastics right along the new structure. Overcast mornings have been good for a surface bite on classic Zara Spooks.

Walleye are making a better showing than usual this year—catch a couple a day by bouncing nightcrawler harnesses or grubs around rocky points.

For catfish, head to sandy bays in the evening with cut bait, anchovies, or even table scraps on a Carolina or drop shot rig in 5–15 feet of water.

Hot spots right now include:

- Wahweap Marina—stripers stacked up, easy bank access for night anglers.
- Glen Canyon Dam and main lake pump station for stripers at first and last light.
- San Juan Arm for bass—target newly flooded brush and points.
- The U-shaped coves and back canyons where shad are schooling—follow the birds and surface boils.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, June 11th, 2025.

We’re heading into another gorgeous summer day on the lake. Expect calm mornings and light breezes building through the afternoon, with highs in the mid-80s—classic early June weather on Powell. Sunrise came at 5:02 AM, and sunset will be at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got a nice long window to chase that big one. Lake Powell’s water is on the rise, coming up nearly a foot a day, which means fresh structure and hungry fish moving up shallow. Water temps have settled around 66°F at Wahweap Bay, prime time for active bites and some lingering spawn activity.

Let’s talk action: Stripers are stealing the show this week. It’s an absolute frenzy, with anglers loading up coolers at striper hotspots like Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. The main tactic? Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig—still unbeatable for numbers. Shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons are also putting solid fish in the boat. According to McNabb Fishing Guides and Arizona Game & Fish, striper schools are cruising anywhere from 15 to 60 feet, with the best bite coming just after first light and picking up again late afternoon. Most fish are running 2 to 5 pounds, but there have been a few double-digit bruisers showing up for those willing to hunt.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid deeper, with the best smallie action in 10 to 30 feet on tubes, Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grubs, and green pumpkin jigs. The largemouth reports are solid, especially out of the San Juan Arm. Early overcast mornings are prime for walking baits like Zara Spooks. Largemouth are a bit more elusive but totally worth the effort—especially if you’re pitching into flooded brush and new shoreline cover.

There’s also been a bump in walleye catches this year. Most are coming as accidental bycatch but a couple a day isn’t uncommon. Channel catfish, crappie, bluegill, and even the occasional carp are all on the menu for those willing to mix up baits. For catfish, try a chunk of anchovy or even table scraps on the bottom near brush piles or rocky ledges.

Best baits right now:
- For stripers: Dead anchovies (Carolina rig or drop shot), shad-imitating swimbaits, spoons.
- For bass: Yamamoto Hula Grubs, green pumpkin jigs, chatterbaits, Zara Spooks for topwater.
- For catfish: Anchovy chunks, hot dog pieces.

A couple of hot spots to check out: the Glen Canyon Dam area remains the number one striper draw, and Wahweap Marina is seeing hundreds of fish cleaned daily. If you’re after largemouth and smallmouth, work the San Juan Arm and the newly flooded brush pockets along the main lake channel.

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, June 11, 2025. Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM and sunset’s coming up at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got over 14 hours of prime daylight to wet your line. No tides to worry about on Powell, just focus on those changing lake levels—water's coming up about a foot per day with new structure and brush getting flooded, which means fish on the move and new ambush points popping up all over.

This morning started calm and clear, with the mercury rising fast—expect highs in the mid-80s by afternoon, and a light breeze picking up after lunch. Water temperature at Wahweap Bay is holding strong around 66°F, which is right in the sweet spot for active fish and late-season spawning transitions. The clarity’s good, and shad schools are starting to get thick back in the flooded brush lines.

The striper bite is absolutely on fire right now. Folks are packing coolers at classic hotspots like Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station, but don’t sleep on the back canyons and U-shaped coves near the main channels—stripers have moved shallow, chasing those hatching shad. Early mornings are boil city, so have a topwater bait or shiny spoon ready to throw at any surface commotion. Dead anchovies on a Carolina rig are still the go-to for filling a stringer, but shad-imitating swimbaits, silver spoons, and trolling shallow crankbaits are all producing. Average striper is running 2 to 5 pounds, but the occasional double-digit whopper is making an appearance, especially if you’re willing to troll deeper for the fatter post-spawn fish. Wahweap Marina’s cleaning station has been jammed—anglers are hauling in hundreds of stripers each week.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid deeper—look for smallmouth in 10–30 feet of water along rocky points and ledges. Try tubes, grubs, or Ned Rigs in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake. The Yamamoto Hula Grub, Texas or Carolina rigged, is a killer this week, and chatterbaits with a swimbait trailer are tracking down hungry bass along flooded brush. Largemouth reports have been strongest out of the San Juan Arm—pitching a classic green pumpkin jig into the newly submerged timber is paying off, especially on overcast mornings.

Walleye are popping up more than usual this year, averaging a couple per day for those targeting them with bottom bouncers or worm rigs. Don’t forget channel cats after dusk—chunk bait, anchovies, or even a piece of hot dog will get it done in 5–15 feet.

Best hot spots right now: Glen Canyon Dam for early morning striper boils, and the San Juan Arm backwaters for largemouth bass and walleye. The main lake pump station and Navajo Canyon are also seeing action.

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.

Artificial Lure with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, June 6th, 2025. Sunrise came in early at 5:02 AM and sunset’s not until 7:43 PM, giving you a long window to chase the bite across this legendary canyon country. Lake levels are on the rise—up almost a foot a day—so there’s fresh flooded brush and new structure popping up along the banks, and that’s got the fish moving and feeding in shallower water. Water temperature at Wahweap Bay is holding steady at 66°F, which is prime for active fish and puts them right in the transition between spawn and summer modes.

The weather today is cooperative—expect calm conditions through the morning, with just a light breeze in the afternoon and highs in the mid-80s. Perfect conditions for working both shallow and deeper water. The wind may kick up later, so plan your run to distant spots early and take plenty of water and sun protection.

Fishing this week has been absolutely on fire. The striped bass bite is blistering, especially if you’re fishing classic striper haunts like the Glen Canyon Dam and the main lake pump station. Folks are filling coolers using dead anchovies on a Carolina rig—hands down the best method at the moment. If you want to toss lures, go for shad-imitating swimbaits and spoons. Striper schools are active from 15 to 60 feet, with the best bite just after first light and again towards sunset. Most fish have been running 2–5 pounds, but several over 10 pounds have hit the docks this week, according to recent reports from area guides and the Arizona Game & Fish Department.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass have moved deeper with the warming water, but you can still catch 1–2 pound smallmouth bass in 10–30 feet of water, especially by trolling or working tube baits and grubs. The Yamamoto Hula Grub in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake is a go-to, especially when rigged Texas style and crawled along rocky points and newly flooded brush. For a faster search pattern, tie on a green pumpkin chatterbait with a baby bass fluke trailer and work those windy points and secondary coves—bass just can’t lay off this combo right now.

Topwater isn’t quite there yet—recent full moon phases have made that bite a little spotty—but keep a Zara Spook or popper handy for any surprise surface activity, especially at first and last light. Catfish, crappie, and the odd walleye are also biting, with stink baits, cut bait, or live worms producing well at night or in the deeper cuts.

Hot spots to hit:
- Glen Canyon Dam for stripers, especially early.
- The main lake pump station for consistent multi-species action.
- Warm Creek Bay and the entrance to Navajo Canyon for bass and bonus stripers.

A quick tip: As the lake rises, fish right up into the new brush and target the edges for ambush predators.

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.
