Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell, Utah fishing report for June 22, 2025. Sunrise painted the red-rock canyons at 5:03 AM, and you’ve got until a sunset at 7:44 PM to chase your next big bite. No tides to speak of—just the slow, steady reservoir rise as late spring runoff continues to trickle in, pushing the lake up and flooding fresh brush all along the shoreline. Water temps have stabilized at a fishy 66°F, and water clarity is excellent across Wahweap Bay, up the main channel, and throughout the popular arms.

The early morning bite is still the ticket. Mornings have been cool and calm, moving to highs in the mid-80s by afternoon, with a light breeze ruffling the water—perfect fishing weather. The bass action is booming: both smallmouth and largemouth have slipped deeper, feeding actively in 10 to 30 feet of water. Main lake points and flooded brush pockets are loaded with 1-2 pound smallies. Anglers working the San Juan Arm are reporting some of the better largemouth action, especially around those newly submerged willow thickets.

Topwater lures like the trusty Zara Spook are drawing ferocious strikes just after sunrise. As the sun climbs, it’s time to break out subsurface presentations—think Megabass Vision 110 jerkbaits, Yamamoto Neko Fat Worms in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig, or Texas-rigged Hula Grubs pitched tight to structure. Jig and chatterbait aficionados are doing well too, especially with green pumpkin chatterbaits trailed by a baby bass fluke, and green pumpkin jigs with a bama craw chunk worked slowly through rock and brush.

Striped bass are absolutely on fire. There are hundreds being cleaned daily at the Wahweap Marina fish cleaning station. Striper schools are popping up all over, and those targeting them with trolled crankbaits or even on the fly are taking home coolers full. If you’re after quality fillets, focus on trolling for the larger, fatter specimens with a pinkish hue in the fillet, steering clear of the thinner, pale fish for best flavor.

Don’t count out the walleye—more folks are quietly catching a couple a day, mostly as a welcome surprise while working the same deep bass structure. Catfish, crappie, and carp round out the mixed-bag action, though the main story is definitely the bass and stripers.

For hot spots, target:

- Wahweap Bay: For early-morning topwater and mid-day striper boils.
- San Juan Arm: Flooded brush is hiding quality largemouth bass.
- Main Lake Points near Antelope and Navajo Canyons: Consistent smallmouth and bonus walleye.
