well i can say that the rainbows pictured on the website do not resemble a high population of rainbows in utah. it is rare to catch a rainbow that size here. black canyon is a term im not familiar with. i know the boulders quite well and i cant think of a geographical area there that has that label and would have a special strain of rainbows from it.
the black canyon im aware of is on the gunnison in colorado. im not sure what they are talking about with that though.
if your fishing the rainbows on easter they should be right at the end of their spawn. large rainbows, from my experience, generally dont care much for powerbait etc. i prefer to use lures like a rapala pattern rooster tails blue fox spinners and panther martins. i use black maribou jigs with a combination of colors. that would be your best bet for a rainbow in that category and size shown on the website. powerbait works great for smaller rainbows, again from my experience. i have caught a 5lber once on it but thats the biggest.
hope that helps a bit
