We have some great news the fishing for the stripers is picking up. Our local anglers are reporting hook up and down the Colorado River here below the Davis Dam.

I have heard a little bit from up on Lake Mohave but no good reports of as of yet mostly the stripers up on the lake have been in the 2-to-3-pound range while on the river the bite has been in the 3-to-7-pound range.

Our local anglers this week are in pairs with Tom Gallant and John Schott with a nice stringer of fish John's fish was a bit larger than Toms at 5.18 pounds and 23 and 3/4 inches. Toms largest fish was 3.9 pounds and 21 and 3/4 inches. they were fishing from Tom's boat using anchovies and had their best luck just below the Rotary Park area.

While our local anglers Pat Weber and Norm Oglevie were fishing on Pats boat in the big bend area using anchovies. these fish weighed in at 4.2 pounds and 23 and 1/4 inches while the other was 3.38 pounds and 21 and 1/2 inches.

I have been hearing that this size is being hooked up in various spots. They could be coming in for spawning. I am seeing the carp are in spawning mode and churning up the water making a muddy mess. The largemouth bass have moved off the beds and should be guarding the fry for a little while longer depending on the area. For our bow fishing anglers, it's a great time to go after the carp as they are in groups. a reminder the carp are the only fish in our area that can be taken by arrow or spear.

Hope this helps some for now and we look forward to seeing you in soon to share that story and the catch as well. Mostly thanks so much for all of the support.

An update we just got a load of trout at Rotary park a late stocking anglers should be grateful for these rainbow trout good luck and we hope to see you in with some fish reminder 5 is the limit of trout below the Davis Dam.
