Anglers are catching striped bass along the river with trout-pattern swimbaits and Glide Baits. One angler recently landed a 17-pound striper below Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area using a favorite swimbait. Rainbow trout activity is best during the morning and afternoon hours, with the fish favoring pink and orange PowerBait, mice tails, or worms fished in shaded areas.
