October 29, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3605 Water Temperature 65-69 F By: Wayne GustavesonStriped bass annual migration is now almost complete.

Fishing Report October 8, 2014 with Capt. Bill
Fly Fishing 10/8/14 with Richard Hargis from Utah The days scenario fishing Powell is a 50/50 possibility for Stripers.

Photo: Striped bass caught now are as healthy as they have ever been due to a bumper crop of shad.
