Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
It seems only our most hardy anglers are out throwing out a line. We are getting rainbow trout from the Willow Beach Hatchery, and we have been getting some striper activity. Most of the striper action has been along the shores of the Colorado River below the Davis Dam. Up on Lake Mohave the wind keeps most boaters at bay. While our shoreline has plenty of opportunity

Couple nice 20+ inchers last week

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
We had a few anglers on the Ranch over the last couple weeks, the water is low and cold but the ones I was able to get a report from did get into some fish, and a couple nice 20+ inchers too. I wouldn’t say the fishing was red-hot but they did have some success. Most of the fish I know of were caught on

Pyramid remained near 86 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN
Pyramid remained near 86 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good for trout and striper. Trout anglers fooled fish while using dough baits, minijigs, nightcrawlers, and lures with the marina being the hot spot. A few huge striper fell for magnum swim baits, but most of the action has been on cut baits. Yellowbar, Serrano, and the marina all produced for bait anglers. Bass

The water level has come up and is still rising slowly. Be on the loom out for floating debris. The County ramp is open for launching. There is a no wake zone in all of the ramp and cove area. This is due to the work they are doing in the area of the ramp. I fished with Tom Blotter last week. We trolled Rapalas
