COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM)According to Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina, bigger striped bass are showing up in this zone, and they’re being caught on swimbaits and anchovies. Trout are being stocked around the local parks, and while that offers good fishing on its own, it also puts a charge in the striper bite, especially the bigger swimbait eaters. Largemouth bass are being spotted on spawning beds, but most local anglers are letting them to their thing and going after linesides instead.

LAKE HAVASU– Guide Nick Young says he’s putting clients on very good numbers of quality largemouth and smallmouth, both in prespawn and eating Roboworms and Senkos. Big redear to 3 pounds are showing up when anglers can find good areas to target them that are out of the wind. Big flathead catfish, crappie and bluegill are also in the mix making for great mixed-bag action. Striped bass are all you want once located (boils, birds or open water on the troll). WON Lake Havasu Striper Derby is going down May 3-4. For more info and to sign up, visit WONews.com and find it under the TOURNAMENTS tab.
