 Good morning from Lake Powell, this is Artificial Lure with your local fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025. Let me get you set up for a day of prime fishing out here on the lake.

The weather is tailor-made for anglers today—expect clear skies, with temperatures topping out in the mid 70s and just a gentle breeze to keep things comfortable. Sunrise came at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 8:21 PM, so you’ve got a long window to fish. Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir, so you don’t have to worry about tides. Focus on early mornings or just before dusk for peak fish activity, especially while the water temps are holding between 68 and 74 degrees.

Striped bass are absolutely lighting it up right now, especially down by Glen Canyon Dam. If you’re after numbers, this is the spot. Most folks are anchoring up and dropping chunks of anchovy on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head. Cut your anchovy into about 1.5-inch pieces and let them sink straight down about 20 to 30 feet. Once you find the depth the stripers are hitting, keep working that zone—you can easily land dozens of healthy stripers a session. For a change of pace or if the bite slows, head to the backs of canyons where the water shifts from clear to a little murky and is about 30 feet deep or less. Troll a shad-shaped crankbait through this colored water, and when you catch one, troll that same track again[1][2][5].

Smallmouth bass are on fire along rocky points and ledges in 15 to 25 feet of water. They’re hitting hard and often, with tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shot setups in green pumpkin or brown doing the trick. Largemouth are tucked into the shallow brush—try slow-rolling soft plastics or spinnerbaits through shallow cover and hang on tight[3][5].

Crappie have been showing up in decent numbers around submerged brush and trees, especially in the coves and side canyons. Small jigs or live minnows are the best bet for these slabs. Catfish and bluegill are being caught near the shorelines, and walleye are turning up here and there on bottom bouncers and smaller crankbaits, especially in the northern arms[5].

Hot spots today include the right side of Glen Canyon Dam—boats are stacking up and limits are coming in quick. Also check out the backs of Wahweap and Warm Creek Bay canyons for both stripers and a mixed bag of bass and crappie.

If I had to pack just a few things, grab plenty of anchovy, shad-shaped crankbaits, green pumpkin soft plastics, and a couple of tube jigs. The bite is hot, the lake’s alive, and now’s the time to get on the water.

Tight lines out there from Artificial Lure.
