The Colorado River is producing well this time of year. Striped bass can be found in the cooler water hitting swimbaits or anchovies. Anglers have reported success with swimbaits in trout color patterns. Catfish are also being caught out of the river, but are mainly being caught on anchovies or nightcrawlers. The catfish bite should be picking up soon as we are nearing the end of the catfish spawning period, which can decrease the bite. Special Regulations: From Separation Canyon to Hoover Dam (including Lake Mead): The limit is 20 striped bass: minimum of 20 inches, unlimited striped bass under 20 inches, 5 trout, and 15 crappie. From Hoover Dam to Davis Dam (including Lake Mohave and Willow Beach): The limit is 20 striped bass: minimum of 20 inches, unlimited striped bass under 20 inches, and 5 trout in any combination. Striped bass may be taken by spear or spear gun from that portion of Lake Mohave between Hoover Dam and Cottonwood Landing. From Davis Dam to the California-Nevada boundary: The limit is 6 bass; minimum size 13 inches, and 5 trout in any combination. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
