Catfish for days! Stripers if you find the right spot. Carp galore. The mornings are beautiful, calm water with fish jumping everywhere. Last year I only brought a spinning rod, wished I would have taken a fly rod as well.

I metered some HUGE marks on the bottom last year. Catfish are known to get big. And with the house boats dumping all over the place, I could easily see some Lake Powell monsters growing in the depths.

Carp can be in schools of 50-100 around the docks.

Catfish bite is slow all day long until the sun starts to go down. Had most of my luck with nightcrawlers or cut mackeral on the bottom.

As for bass, I've had good numbers using fluke type soft baits, spinnerbaits in the morning, and wacky rigged senkos.
