You could catch nearly anything in Powell. The numerous tributary systems provide a pathway for a lot of different fish to enter Powell. Rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout, cutthroat.....
The Yampa river is loaded with northern pike. This is the most likely source for pike in Powell.
Tiger musky are also upstream of Powell and could potentially make their way downstream. Trout are abundant in any number of streams entering Powell. Years ago, the stream under Rainbow Bridge was known as a spawning area for rainbow trout. Warm Creek was also a good place to find rainbows. I'm sure you could find a handful of brown trout in the Escalante today.
