 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.
