LAKE MOHAVE striper fishing with River king Outdoors.

Updated August 28, 2026

COLORADO RIVER

COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM) – Striped bass fishing around Bullhead City has been very good on fish up to 28 pounds. That one was caught by a kayak angler casting a 6th Sense jerkbaits on 12-pound fluorocarbon. Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina is reporting good numbers of smaller stripers are being caught on anchovies. Channel cats are on a good night bite for anglers fishing around Site Six.

LAKE HAVASU— Ned rigs are working well for smallish largemouth bass hanging up shallow where boaters can sight-fish for them just like spring. Big catfish continue to be caught from shore with the best reports featuring a 30-pound flathead from one guy, another angling duo reporting a 16-fish night which included several over 20 and a third guy who caught a 19.3 pounder. Live bluegill have been working for the bigger catfish, with nightcrawlers producing numbers of smaller models.
