Lake Mead Fishing Report June 1, 2025: Chasing Bass, Stripers, and Crappie in the Heat

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Mead fishing report for June 1, 2025. We're looking at a scorcher today with temperatures already climbing past 100 degrees, so plan on hitting the water early morning or late evening for your best chances. Sunrise was around 5:30 AM with sunset expected around 7:45 PM. The bass bite has gotten tougher recently as the fish have moved to deeper water due to the heat. Black bass are hitting drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits. The most productive areas have been the weedy shorelines near Calville Bay and Hemenway Harbor. If you're targeting largemouth, focus on those areas in the early hours. Striped bass action remains solid with most fish being caught on live shad and cut anchovies. Three-inch silver swimbaits are also proving effective as backup options. Don't overlook Kastmasters and Jumpin' Minnows for subsurface stripers. Boating anglers are finding good success at the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. For you crappie enthusiasts, there's decent action happening in the Overton Arm. Jigs in white or chartreuse colors are the ticket. Some nice catches in the 10-12 inch range have been reported. Catfish are also taking cut anchovies well in the late evening hours. These fighters provide great action when other species slow down during the hottest parts of the day. If you're looking for hotspots, I'd recommend checking out the coves near Callville Bay early in the morning for bass, then moving to deeper water as the day heats up. The Vegas Wash area has been particularly productive for stripers. Boulder Beach points are holding fish for those willing to work a bit harder. For lures, keep it simple: drop-shot rigs with green pumpkin worms for bass, silver swimbaits for stripers, and don't forget those trusty anchovies for both stripers and cats. If you're after a reaction bite, try working spinnerbaits around submerged structure during low light conditions. Water levels are finally showing some improvement after years of drought, which has opened up new structure and fishing opportunities. Just be careful of previously submerged hazards that might still lurk beneath the surface. Thanks for tuning in to your Lake Mead fishing report.
