Well despite the difference of opinion in regards to stripers being in Lake Powell, there no place I would rather fish at this time. You can go down any time and know that you can catch stripers. But there have been days when I have caught seven or eight different species. Some of the fish weren't world class but there were some pretty hefty cats and smallmouth that I have pulled out of the lake. Who knows, there might even be records tiger muskies and pike still hiding somewhere in the lake. And the gizzard shad are going to do nothing but improve the fishery. But as has been pointed out, it will be interesting to see how the quaga and zebra mussells affect the fishery, but that won't be for several years, until then I am just going to enjoy one of the greatest fisheries in the nation.
As for the June Sucker, it really sucks that the feds are spending billions on protecting a susceptible pray fish instead of managing the fishery where anglers would bring the millions and millions of dollars and pump it back into the local economy. But what to do?
