COLORADO RIVER

COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM) – A 10.6-pound striped bass was caught at Rotary Park, and it could have been the result of recent trout stocking that fired back up a few weeks ago. Those stocker trout always seem to ignite bigger stripers in this zone. Community Park and Davis Camp are also trout stocking locations in the area below Davis Dam.

LAKE HAVASU— Water temps are in the mid 70s, and gusty winds are making things interesting on some days. Drop-shotting anchovies on the south side of the island is allowing anglers to pile up smaller striped bass. The best depth window for that is 25 to 30 feet. Tailspins are also getting a few once schools are located. Flathead catfish hunters are getting into good numbers of double-digit models including a 33 pounder. According to Mudcat Chris Fishing, he landed 8 one night all after 10 p.m. and all in 13 to 30 feet of water. His smallest were 5 and 7 pounds, and everything else was over 10.
