  • Lake Powell Fishing Report May 18, 2025: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Strong

    Lake Powell Fishing Report May 18, 2025: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Strong
    May 18 2025
    Good morning from Lake Powell, this is Artificial Lure with your fishing report for Sunday, May 18, 2025.

    We are sitting prime time for spring fishing on Lake Powell, with water temps holding steady between 68 and 74 degrees. The weather is shaping up perfect for anglers today—expect clear skies, highs around the mid 70s, and a gentle breeze, making for an ideal day on the water. Sunrise was at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, giving you a long window to hit the bite. With Lake Powell being a freshwater reservoir, tide is not a factor here, so focus on time of day and water temperature for fish activity instead.

    Fishing action remains excellent for stripers in the southern stretch, especially around Glen Canyon Dam. Stripers are hungry and stacking up in good numbers. The best bait right now is anchovy, cut into chunks about 1.5 inches, rigged on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop your bait near the dam, particularly the right side when facing it, and work it gently up and down. Once you find the depth the stripers are hitting, keep your bait there to land multiples. Some boats are reporting dozens caught per outing, with stripers running strong and healthy[1][3][5].

    Bass fishing is solid too, both largemouth and smallmouth. The backs of canyons where water transitions from clear to murky—especially where it's 30 feet deep or less—are holding fish. Trolling a shad-shaped crankbait in colored water will get you hooked up quick. After you catch one, circle back through the same spot for more action. Bass are active throughout the day, but early mornings and late evenings around structure are producing best[1][5].

    Other species like crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are being caught as well, with action rated as good to excellent. Crappie and bluegill are tight to brush and submerged cover, and catfish are biting cut bait or nightcrawlers off the bottom. For walleye, try jigging near rocky points or trolling deep-diving crankbaits[5].

    Hot spots today: Glen Canyon Dam for non-stop striper action and the backs of Wahweap and Warm Creek Bays for bass and multi-species catches. For shore anglers, try the marinas early or late for a mixed bag.

    Best lures right now are shad-imitating crankbaits, white or chartreuse soft plastics, and of course, nothing beats fresh cut anchovy for stripers. Bait shops around the lake are well-stocked.

    That wraps up today’s Lake Powell fishing report. Bundle your rods, keep your bait fresh, and get out there while the bite is hot. Good luck and tight lines!

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Strong This Spring

    Lake Powell Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Strong This Spring
    May 17 2025
    Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your May 17th, 2025 fishing report for Lake Powell. The spring bite is still going strong and the fishing conditions are prime right now!

    Lake Powell is absolutely on fire this time of year with water temperatures holding steady between 68-74°F. This is creating the perfect environment for multiple species to be active and hungry.

    Striped bass are showing exceptional activity, particularly in the southern lake. They've been moving down lake toward Glen Canyon Dam where anglers have been having a field day. If you're after stripers, cut anchovies are your best bet. Cut them into small pieces about 1.5 inches long and rig them on a jig head between 1/8 and 3/8 ounce. Drop your bait about 20-30 feet down and gently work it up and down, going a few feet deeper every few minutes. Once you get a hit, remember that depth – that's your sweet spot. If you're facing the dam, the right side has been particularly productive.

    For those who prefer artificial lures, the backs of canyons are holding good numbers of stripers. Look for areas where the water changes from clear to colored and is less than 30 feet deep. Trolling with shad-shaped crankbaits in these areas has been very effective.

    It's not just stripers that are active right now. Reports indicate that largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye are all biting well. May is truly one of the best all-around months for Lake Powell fishing.

    For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the area near Glen Canyon Dam for those stripers. Additionally, many of the back canyons are producing good numbers. The transition zones where clear water meets colored water are particularly productive right now.

    The recent spring runoff has been slowing down after a wet spring that allowed the lake to rise approximately 60 feet. This has created some interesting new structure and fishing opportunities.

    For those heading out today, expect to have plenty of daylight with sunrise having occurred at about 6:10 AM and sunset not until around 8:30 PM. That gives you plenty of time on the water to find your honey hole.

    The fishing has been rated as "very good" to "excellent" across most of the lake, so don't overthink it – just get out there and wet a line! Whether you're bait fishing or throwing artificials, Lake Powell is delivering the goods right now.

    Tight lines, everyone! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report.

  • Springtime Treasures at Lake Powell: Stripers, Bass, and Crappie Thrive in Ideal Conditions

    Springtime Treasures at Lake Powell: Stripers, Bass, and Crappie Thrive in Ideal Conditions
    May 16 2025
    Good morning from beautiful Lake Powell, this is Artificial Lure giving you the lowdown on today’s angling action, May 16, 2025. The weather here is just about perfect for fishing—expect mild spring temps with a light breeze, and mostly sunny skies. Sunrise was just before 6 a.m., and sunset will fall around 8:30 p.m., meaning we’ve got long daylight hours to chase those springtime trophies.

    The spring runoff has slowed, and with the lake rising over sixty feet this season, there’s plenty of fresh structure and new shoreline for fish to explore. Water clarity is excellent in most arms, though you may find a little silt in the upper reaches after this wet spring.

    Fish activity is vibrant all over the lake. Stripers are really on the feed, especially near the dam, in Warm Creek Bay, and off rocky points. They’ve been schooling up and hitting hard, with anglers reporting double-digit catches on good days. The hot ticket for stripers right now is tossing cut bait, anchovies, or working a silver or white jig vertically in deeper water. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits and umbrella rigs is also picking up plenty of fish if you’re looking to cover water[4][5].

    Smallmouth and largemouth bass are stacking up along rocky banks and submerged brush, especially on the main lake points and coves. Soft plastic grubs, tubes in green pumpkin or watermelon, and drop-shot rigs are all drawing solid bites. Don’t overlook spinnerbaits on breezy afternoons or topwater early in the morning before the sun gets high—bass are aggressive after that spring warm-up[5].

    Crappie have been reported biting well around brush piles and submerged timber in quieter coves, particularly up around Good Hope Bay. Minnows and small jigs under a slip bobber are the best bet here. Bluegill and catfish round out the action, with catfish coming on cut bait and bluegill easy to catch on worms near shallow structure[5].

    For today’s hotspots, head to Warm Creek Bay for stripers or the stretch from Navajo Canyon to the dam for a mixed bag of bass and stripers. Good Hope Bay is your best crappie bet. With fish active and the weather holding, it’s an ideal Lake Powell day.

    The bite is strong, the lake is generous, and there’s no better place to be. Good luck and tight lines from your friend, Artificial Lure, on Lake Powell.
