We just returned from our May 13-16, 2019 fishing trip to Lake Powell. Elevation was around 3,577 and rose about 10" while we were there.
Myself, (Larry Lewis) Dan Stireman and Dave Guth spent two days fishing the mouth of Lake Canyon (MP 89) and hooked and netted about 40 Stripers and two Catfish. We kept about 30 of the larger Stripers. They were generally in the 20" - 22" range. PIctured in the photo are Dan (L) and Dave (R). We used the basics: Anchovies on weighted hooks on eight-pound braided line. We also use clear 8-10 pound monofilament. We repeatedly drifted through the northeast point of the canyon inlet, and a couple of times all three of us had fish on simultaneously. Since we only had two nets and one long-nose plyer it made for a few Keystone Cops moments. They were hitting at about 15' to 30' down with light jigging.
Thanks for all your help and advice on Bass fishing at Powell.

But point taken - I did not know that impacted striper taste so much. Good to know.
