A bit more river news: the Colorado River is producing striped bass up and down the system right now. It seems like the fish are everywhere.

One of our local anglers stopped by for some prop work and shared this great catch he landed near the Needles Bridge. Ronnie Charlton was fishing from shore using anchovies and hooked into a nice group of stripers.

We’re seeing similar-sized fish in our area near and below Davis Dam. The fish seem to be running a bit larger up on Lake Mohave, where anchovies and a variety of lures have been working great. Trolling white bucktail jigs has also been producing solid results.

I’ve also been hearing good reports on largemouth bass hitting a variety of plastics in green pumpkin colors. Personally, I’m a fan of the Z-Man PP&J Tubz for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. The bass have moved off the nests and should be feeding aggressively after guarding their fry.

Hope this helps for now, and we look forward to seeing you stop in to share your catch — and especially your story. Thanks again for all the support.

Now go catch a fish!
