Colorado River Fish Report

by IVY SANTEE
Cooler weather changes fishing habits so you may need to change your approach. Fishing from shore has proven successful for stripers. Look for fish holding in holes near structure. Be wary of low water conditions.

Lake Mohave Fish Report

by IVY SANTEE
The upper Mohave has offered the best fishing recently. Some of the best action has come in the coves with top-water baits. According to one report, there was a 40-pound fish pulled in sometime last week.

by IVY SANTEE
Striper action has been described as being okay during the morning and evening hours. Windy conditions have made boating and fishing difficult for much of the past week. Live shad and swimbaits are catching most of the fish, some pushing five to six pounds. Look for shad and stripers both in deep water.
