COLORADO RIVER (BELOW DAVIS DAM)– According to Rusty Braun at Riviera Marina, striped bass and the occasional smallmouth bass are biting around the Nature Center. Anchovies are best for the stripers which are providing the best overall bite in this zone. Rotary Park has also been kicking out some stripers, and most are the smaller, school-sized models but there are some legit monsters in the area. Trout season is set to fire back up in September. 

LAKE HAVASU– Trolling Alabama rigs is a great way to get into numbers of smaller striped bass, at times double hookups. The most successful anglers are getting out early are putting up easy double-digit numbers and getting off the water before it gets hot. Cut baits are another great way to fill a cooler with linesides. Wind can be an issue at times, but it seems to improve the striper bite.  Largemouth are chasing down shad-pattern cranks along in some areas including but not limited to Havasu State Park. Jigs are working just about everywhere for largemouth and smallmouth (that are being caught in the same areas at times) and of course, drop-shots and other finesse tactics should be kept at the ready. Some nice channel catfish are being caught from shore, including a lot of the park-and-party spots like the channel. Flatheads are biting at night in some of the quieter coves.
