    Lake Powell Fishing Report: Bass, Stripers, and More on the Bite
    Jun 22 2025
    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.

    That’s your scoop from Lake Powell. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss the next report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report June 2025: Bass Booming, Stripers Wild, Walleye Biting

    Lake Powell Fishing Report June 2025: Bass Booming, Stripers Wild, Walleye Biting
    Jun 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the up-to-the-minute Lake Powell fishing report for June 21, 2025.

    First light cracked over the red rock canyons at 5:02 AM and you’ll have until sunset at 7:43 PM to get after it—plenty of daylight for the weekend warriors and the die-hards alike. No tides to consider, just the steady summer see-saw of the reservoir; water elevation's still on the rise after a lush spring, flooding shoreline brush and bringing new structure into play. Water temps are holding right around 66°F and visibility’s prime from Wahweap Bay up through the main channel, according to Arizona Game & Fish.

    Weather today is spot-on for a June outing. Calm, cooler mornings with highs pushing into the mid-80s by afternoon. Expect a fresh breeze as the day wears on, which’ll put some ripple on the surface—perfect for keeping fish cruising in the shallows and active.

    The bite is on and the bass are booming. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slipped a little deeper with the warming water but they’re plenty hungry. You’ll find smallmouth in that 10-30 foot zone, especially around main lake points and those newly flooded brushy pockets. The better largemouth bags are still coming out of the San Juan Arm—definitely a hot spot to hit.

    Topwater action has been explosive first light, especially with Zara Spooks and the Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait. Once the sun’s up, most folks are switching over to a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin, rigged on the Neko or Texas rig, and pitching into the brush. For those fishing deeper structure, green pumpkin chatterbaits with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer and classic green pumpkin jigs with a bama craw trailer are putting plenty of fish in the boat. And don’t sleep on the Yamamoto Hula Grub; it’s a perennial favorite here for a reason—Texas rig it and crawl it slowly along the bottom, or pitch it right into the middle of that flooded cover.

    Striper action is wild right now, with hundreds being cleaned daily at Wahweap Marina. Most fish are average size, but the fatter ones are there if you’re willing to hunt—trolling remains key. Fly anglers are also getting in on the action, especially early before the heat really drives the fish deeper. Walleye catches are up compared to past years too; a slow-trolled bottom bouncer or crawler harness around rocky points can produce a few keepers each morning.

    Hot spots today? San Juan Arm for big largemouth, and the freshly flooded brush lines between Wahweap and Padre Bay for smallmouth. Don’t skip the main channel points, especially with moving water and some breeze.

    That’s your Lake Powell rundown for June 21. Thanks for tuning in—make sure you subscribe for all the latest reports and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report: Summer Bite Booming

    Lake Powell Fishing Report: Summer Bite Booming
    Jun 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here with the Lake Powell fishing report for June 21, 2025.

    We’re rolling into the heart of summer, and Lake Powell is fishing hot right now. Sunrise hit at 5:02 AM, and sunset’s coming up at 7:43 PM, so you’ve got over 14 hours to chase your limit. No tides out here in the desert, but water levels are still rising thanks to a late runoff—expect plenty of fresh structure and flooded brush along the shoreline. Morning weather is starting off mild and calm, with highs in the mid-80s by noon and a reliable afternoon breeze that can make boat positioning a little tricky if you’re out after lunch. Water temperatures are a steady 66°F in Wahweap Bay and the main channel, and clarity is looking excellent from the dam all the way up past Bullfrog, according to Arizona Game & Fish.

    The smallmouth and largemouth bass bite is booming! Both species have slid deeper, so focus your efforts in 10 to 30 feet of water—main lake points, rocky ledges, and especially anywhere that fresh brush has just flooded. In the San Juan Arm, largemouth are coming out to play, and some anglers are reporting 1- to 2-pounders hitting steady. Start your morning with a Zara Spook for topwater fireworks or a Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait for reaction bites, especially if there’s a little chop. As the sun gets higher, rig up a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig—this setup’s been landing bass all week, letting you work both shallow and deep pockets without missing a beat. For pitching into brush or around timber, a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub in green pumpkin or watermelon red flake is lights out. And don’t overlook a 3/8 oz green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer along rocky banks—Lake Powell bass can’t lay off that combo.

    If you’re after stripers, they’re absolutely everywhere right now, especially up around Wahweap Marina and across main lake points. Hundreds are being cleaned daily at the fish cleaning stations, with spawners ranging from thin schoolies to some real fatties if you’re willing to work a little harder for quality fillets. Stripers are slamming spoons, swimbaits, and even hitting fly gear when the schools are surfacing. Action is best early and late—by mid-morning, fish slide a little deeper, so trolling or vertical jigging is the way to go. Walleye are a pleasant surprise this season, with several anglers picking up a few each trip, mostly on crawler harnesses or when bouncing jigs for bass, reported by Capt. Bill McBurney.

    For hot spots, don’t miss the stretch between Wahweap Bay and Antelope Point early in the day, and the San Juan Arm is producing solid bass throughout the morning. The back of Warm Creek Bay also has a lot of newly flooded brush that’s holding both bass and stripers.

    That’s the scoop for June 21st—get out early, work those new structures, and don’t be afraid to mix up your baits through the day. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for your next Lake Powell update. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report: Bass, Stripers, and More in the Canyon Oasis

    Lake Powell Fishing Report: Bass, Stripers, and More in the Canyon Oasis
    Jun 20 2025
    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.

  • Summer Sizzle at Lake Powell: Bass, Stripers & More

    Summer Sizzle at Lake Powell: Bass, Stripers & More
    Jun 18 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, June 18th, 2025. If you’re hitting the water today, you’re in for some prime summer angling.

    Sunrise hit at 5:06 AM, and you’ll have daylight working for you until sunset at 8:01 PM. With water temps around Wahweap Bay holding steady near 66 degrees, you can expect most fish to be active in the early morning and late evening hours when the surface cools off and the bite heats up. According to the Arizona Game & Fish Department, the lake’s elevation sits right around 3,558 feet, making for good access and coverage over submerged brush—ideal bass habitat.

    Bass action is booming. Smallmouth and largemouth bass have moved a bit deeper as summer heat ramps up. Right now, 10-30 feet is the sweet zone. Try trolling or using tube jigs, but my top pick for bass this week is the Yamamoto 5" Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin, neko-rigged with a touch of chartreuse on the tail. If you’re targeting structure or flooded brush, a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub or a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer is hard to beat. Pitch these baits into heavy cover or slow-roll them along drop-offs and you’ll find fish[6][8][1].

    Striped bass are going absolutely off. There’s a pile of spawners around—thin fish in big schools. Big striper hauls have plugged up the cleaning stations lately, especially at Wahweap Marina, and anglers willing to hunt can still find fat, pink-fleshed stripers for quality fillets. The most effective approach? Troll with deep-diving shad raps, flicker shads, or norma divers at 15-20 feet and experiment with speeds around 3.5-4 mph. Anchovies on a jighead or heavy vertical spoons are money when you locate a school. According to Lake Powell Chronicle, Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek have been hot for stripers down south, while Good Hope Bay to 2 Mile Canyon is producing up north[4][7][1].

    Walleye are showing up more this year, typically caught incidentally while chasing bass or stripers, often on soft plastic worms or smaller crankbaits around brushy points and submerged structure. Average is a couple per outing[1].

    If you want a couple of can’t-miss spots, head for the San Juan Arm for largemouth bass or stick around the mouth of Navajo Canyon for some textbook striper action. Warm Creek is another top bet for big numbers.

    The weather is hot and mostly clear—perfect for early starts and late-evening sessions. There’s no tide to worry about, just that classic Powell wind that can kick up in the afternoons, so plan accordingly and chase shade when you can.

  • Lake Powell Fishing Report June 15 2025 - Bass Booming, Stripers Going Off

    Lake Powell Fishing Report June 15 2025 - Bass Booming, Stripers Going Off
    Jun 15 2025
    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.

  • Powell Fishing Fiesta: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Big at Lake Powell

    Powell Fishing Fiesta: Stripers, Bass, and More Biting Big at Lake Powell
    Jun 14 2025
    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.
