 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Powell fishing report for Sunday, May 25, 2025. We are in the heart of spring action and conditions could not be better. Water temperatures are holding steady between 68 and 74 degrees, perfect for ramping up fish activity and bringing multiple species into serious feeding mode.

Today’s weather is shaping up ideal for a long day on the water. Expect clear skies, highs in the mid 70s, and just a gentle breeze—perfect for working any stretch of shoreline. Sunrise kicked off at 5:58 AM this morning, and you’ll have a long window with sunset not until 8:21 PM. With Lake Powell being a reservoir, tidal swings are not a concern, so focus instead on early mornings and late afternoons when the bite is hottest[2].

Fish are active right now and the catches reflect that. Striped bass are absolutely stacked up in the southern sections, especially right around Glen Canyon Dam and back into the major canyons. These stripers are hungry and hitting hard. The go-to bait at the moment is anchovy, cut into 1.5-inch pieces and rigged up on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Drop it down near the dam—especially on the right side as you face it—and gently work it up and down to find your depth. Once you’re hooked up, stick with that level. Some boats are hauling in dozens a trip, with healthy, hard-fighting fish. In the canyon arms, try trolling shad-shaped crankbaits in water 30 feet deep or less—once you hit one, circle back on the spot for more. Stripers are holding to areas where the water shifts from clear to a bit stained[1][2][3].

It’s not just stripers on the menu. May is known as one of the best months for variety here. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are biting well along rocky points and brush, especially up lake toward Bullfrog. Crappie, catfish, bluegill, and the occasional walleye are all being reported in good numbers all over the lake. Soft plastics and small jigs in lighter colors are pulling in bass, while catfish are favoring cut baits in the evenings[5].

Your hot spots for today are Glen Canyon Dam for stripers and the backs of Warm Creek and Navajo Canyons for both stripers and bass. Up lake, the Bullfrog area is turning in mixed bags of bass and panfish.

Best lures remain shad-patterned crankbaits, soft plastic grubs, and for stripers nothing beats fresh cut anchovy. For bass, tube jigs, senkos, and even topwater baits are producing as temperatures rise through the day.

Whether you are a die-hard or just looking for a day on the water, now is about as good as it gets at Lake Powell. Good luck, tight lines, and stay safe out there[1][2][3][5].
