 Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, June 20, 2025. The sun popped up at 5:02 AM and won’t dip below the horizon until 7:43 PM, giving anglers a long window to chase those fish. No tides to worry about on Lake Powell—just the steady rise from desert runoff, which has been pushing the lake up more than a foot a day lately. That’s flooding new brush and fresh structure all over the place, especially along the main channel and in the coves. Mornings have been cool and calm, highs nudging into the mid-80s by afternoon, with a gentle breeze kicking up later in the day. Water temperatures are holding steady around 66°F and clarity is excellent from Wahweap Bay all the way up through the narrows, as the folks at Arizona Game & Fish have confirmed.

The bass bite is still bouncing. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slid off into deeper water—look for smallmouth in that 10 to 30-foot range, working off rocky points and inside those fresh, flooded brush pockets. If you’re after largemouth, the San Juan Arm is producing the best reports with fish coming out of the flooded timber on creature baits. Early mornings are prime for topwater—toss a Zara Spook, and you’ll get explosive strikes. Once that sun’s up, swap over to a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm (green pumpkin is the local favorite) on a Neko Rig, or try a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub pitched into brush and timber. Jig and chatterbait fans are cashing in too—try a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer or pitch a green pumpkin jig with a craw trailer into heavy cover. According to recent local reports, these combos have been tearing up both largemouth and smallmouth bass this week.

Striped bass action is still wild, especially around Wahweap Marina, Warm Creek, and up in Navajo Canyon. Locals have been hauling in hundreds of stripers a day, plugging up the fish cleaning stations. There’s a mix of thin spawners and some fatter post-spawn fish with pinkish fillets—if you want those quality fillets, work a little deeper and move to find the right schools. Best bets are shad imitations like Rapala Shad Raps or Flicker Shads trolled at 15 to 20 feet, and vertical jigging with heavy spoons or anchovies if you mark fish holding deeper. Stripers are spread throughout, but the south end, especially from Wahweap through Warm Creek to Navajo Canyon, is on fire right now.

Walleye have been showing up as a bonus catch, especially when trolling crankbaits—don’t be surprised if you pick up a couple a day, especially in the brushy coves and channel drop-offs.

Top recommended hot spots for today:
- Wahweap Bay and Marina area for stripers and smallmouth.
- San Juan Arm for the best largemouth bass action.
- Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek for another shot at feeding striped bass.
