Latest Fishing Report from Lake Mohave

Last update: March 28, 2007

Important notice: With the recent discovery of invasive quagga mussels in Mead, Mohave and Havasu, proper cleaning of all watercraft is critical to help prevent the spread of these invaders. Please drain and dry your livewell and bilge on land. Drain all the water you can from your engine. Also, inspect your vessel and trailer, removing any visible mussels, but also feel for any rough or gritty spots on the hull. These may be young mussels that can be hard to see. This notice applies to all areas

LAKE MOHAVE
Fishing for largemouth has picked up a little. Some are in shallow, but not a lot. Look for the bite to pick up in the next couple of weeks. The striper bite has been slow as well. Anchovies are the most popular bait for stripers, but if you want to try something different, use shrimp or squid. Davis Dam has plenty of shoreline for numerous anglers to enjoy the fishing. Cabinsite and Telephone Cove also provide plenty of shoreline fishing access. If you have a boat, try fishing near cottonwood cove or Aztec Wash for trout or large stripers. Also, there is a wheelchair accessible fishing pier just south of the main launch ramp at Katherine's Landing.

WILLOW BEACH
Access to Willow Beach by road available. Trout are stocked every Friday. The fishing for trout has been slow, but the striper bite has picked up a little and some big fish are still being caught.

TOPOCK MARSH
The crappie bite has begun to slow a little, but the catfish and bass have really picked up. Game and fish biologist sampled lots of largemouth bass the middle of January throughout the marsh. The bass numbers were great and the crappie and catfish populations looked really good as well. You can access the marsh by boat at North Dike, Catfish Paradise, and Five-Mile Landing. All three also provide plenty of area for shoreline fishing too. For more information on the marsh, contact the Havasu National Rufuge. http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/arizona/havasu/index.html.

COLORADO RIVER BELOW DAVIS DAM
No new reports. Rainbow trout are stocked by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service monthly. The fish are stocked in two locations, Davis Camp and near The Riverside. Trout fishing at the stocking sites is great immediately following the stockings, then the fish move out and you need to find them. Anglers recently reported catching trout on the Arizona side across from the Riverside. Water levels on the river fluctuate, so be careful. You can check the Bureau of Reclamation Web site for flow predictions http://www.usbr.gov/lc/riverops.html/ before you go.
