COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM) – According to Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina, trout stocking has been going on consistently at Rotary Park, Community Park and Davis Camp (but not necessarily all three at a time). Rotary Park has been getting the most because it’s not as sensitive to the low water releases going on this winter, but fishing has been decent overall at all the parks. Some big striped bass continue to show up for swimbait and glidebait chuckers working Community Park and the casino area.

LAKE HAVASU— Striped bass anglers finished the year strong with good numbers of fish to just under 10 pounds. Live bait has been best, and of course, cut anchovies have been very consistent. Some guys are getting into the 20s, 30s and even 40-plus numbers on small stripers picking up cut baits. Some mid-size schoolies are eating spoons and tailspins under boils or working birds. Trolling umbrella rigs is a good way to go when covering water and looking for that activity.
