COLORADO RIVER

COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM) – According to Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina, striped bass action remains hot for anglers using anchovies and glidebaits. A big striper was caught by an anger who targets them with glidebaits in this area, and while it certainly looks like this area, WON was not able to confirm it was this area by press time.

LAKE HAVASU — Striped bass fishing remains excellent, and guide Nick Young reported a 50-plus fish day. He’s been working a lot of Flukes as well as trolling streamer flies on leadcore line (flycoring).  Largemouth bass tucked into coves are looking up and picking off topwater worked against bluff walls or tight to tules. Fishing for big redear really ramped up over the last couple weeks, and this is the time of year to target these trophy panfish. Catfish guys are doing well on channel cats at the dam, with one angling duo reporting almost 20 fish caught including an 18.5 and 17.57, five total over 10 pounds and a couple of 2 pounders. WON Lake Havasu Striper Derby is less than a month away, and there’s been an exciting “optional” side pot added to the tournament.
