Riviera Marina Fishing Report

We’ve got some great river news to share! Local angler Dawn Leclerc landed a beautiful smallmouth bass while fishing from a dock along the river. She was using a swimbait and caught a 3.92-pound, 24 1/4-inch smallmouth. I did remind her that these fish are typically catch-and-release, but they’re also known to be great eating. Along the shores of the Colorado River below Davis Dam, we’ve

This week, our local angler Chris Williams landed a beautiful 14.98-pound striper measuring 36.5 inches in length. While slightly underweight for its size, it’s still an impressive catch! Chris was fishing from shore at Rotary Park using a swimbait to reel in this striper. Reports are coming in that larger stripers are making their way in, and a variety of lures have been producing solid results.

As water temperatures rise the fish are moving to their typical summer patterns

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
As water temperatures rise the fish are moving to their typical summer patterns. Striped bass are being caught off-shore, largely on swimbait style lures or anchovies. Sticking to shad imitations when choosing color patterns would be a great place to start. Smallmouth bass have also moved off-shore, but are being caught on more finesse-style presentations such as small plastics. The largemouth bass are moving up

Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year. Striped bass tend to be found off-shore in the cooler water. They can be targeted with swimbaits and anchovies. When selecting swimbait colors, shad imitations are a good starting point. Channel catfish can also be caught well this time of year. Anchovies, nightcrawlers, and squid tend to attract bites. The best times to catch both
