Lake Powell Fishing Report & Specials 10-25-15

Lake Powell Elevation: 3606.46 Dear Anglers, Huge schools of bait fish have migrated to the backs of canyons with stripers and other fish staging at the entrance.  Trolling and jigging is the norm on stripers and tubes for the small and large mouth bass in 20 to 30 ft of water.
