 Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Powell fishing report for Wednesday, May 21st, 2025.

We're smack in the middle of prime spring fishing season here at Lake Powell, with water temperatures holding steady between 68-74 degrees - perfect conditions for all our fish species to be active and hungry. Today's weather is shaping up beautifully with clear skies, highs expected in the mid-70s, and just a light breeze to keep things comfortable. Sunrise was at about 5:53 AM and we'll see sunset around 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet.

The striper bite remains exceptional, especially down in the southern lake. These hungry stripers have been moving toward Glen Canyon Dam, and anglers are having a field day there. If you're looking for numbers, head to the dam and fish the right side when facing it. Cut anchovies are the bait of choice - cut them into 1.5-inch chunks, rig them on a 1/8 to 3/8 ounce jig head, and drop them 20-30 feet out. Work your bait gently up and down, adjusting depth every few minutes until you find where they're stacked. Once you get a hit, remember that depth and you can catch dozens in short order.

For those who prefer trolling, the canyon backs are hot spots right now. Look for areas where the water transitions from clear to colored and is 30 feet deep or less. Troll through that colored water using shad-shaped crankbaits. When you hook one, make another pass through that same area - where there's one, there's usually many.

Don't forget about the bass action - both largemouth and smallmouth are in full spring mode. May is absolutely one of the best months for all species at Powell, with crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye all actively feeding as well.

Two hot spots I'd recommend checking out today: First, the dam area I mentioned for those stripers, and second, try Warm Creek Bay where the bass have been stacking up around submerged brush and along the drop-offs.

The great thing about Powell this time of year is you can't really go wrong wherever you choose to wet a line. No tides to worry about here on our freshwater reservoir - just focus on those morning and evening bite windows when fish tend to be most active.

Tight lines, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off with your May 21st Lake Powell fishing report. See you on the water!
