 Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for Friday, May 23rd, 2025.

We're experiencing absolutely prime fishing conditions on Lake Powell right now. Water temperatures are holding steady between 68-74 degrees, creating the perfect environment for multiple species to actively feed. Today's weather is shaping up beautifully with clear skies and temperatures expected to reach the upper 70s by afternoon. There's just a light breeze, making for ideal boating conditions. The sun rose at 5:53 AM and will set at 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet.

Remember, Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir, so no need to worry about tides here. Focus instead on the time of day - early morning and evening hours have been particularly productive lately.

Striped bass action remains red hot, especially in the southern section near Glen Canyon Dam. If you're facing the dam, concentrate on the right side where stripers are stacking up in impressive numbers. Cut anchovy chunks about 1.5 inches long on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head is the ticket here. Drop your bait, work it gently up and down, and when you find the right depth, you'll be pulling in stripers one after another. Many anglers are reporting dozens of fish per outing.

For those wanting to target stripers away from the dam, try the backs of canyons where clear water meets colored water, especially in areas 30 feet deep or less. Trolling with shad-shaped crankbaits has been producing well in these zones.

Bass fishing is equally strong right now. Largemouth and smallmouth are hitting aggressively in the shallows as they guard their spawning beds. Soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon colors rigged Texas-style have been most effective.

Don't overlook the crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye opportunities as well. May is truly one of the best all-around fishing months at Powell, with virtually every species being catchable.

For hot spots beyond the dam area, I'd recommend checking out Warm Creek Bay and Navajo Canyon, where the combination of structure and water clarity has been holding good numbers of fish.

If you're heading out this weekend, get your bait and tackle in order, and I guarantee you'll find success on the water. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines everyone, and I'll see you on the lake!
