Any sign will show you where to fish. If stripers are not busting the top then throw shallow running cranks or drop spoons to the bottom. Stripers are gorging on shad and will eat your lures if you can find their feeding nique. Kens Lake. Oowah has pro8-1- 71-7- 3 Web site (wildlife.utah.govlicenses). Hunters may also purchase a permit at the DWR Web site. Permits purchased online are mailed to hunters.
