Colorado River

COLORADO RIVER BELOW DAVIS DAM- Trout stocking has begun and the latest stocking was the week of February 12th. The next stocking is tentatively scheduled for the week of March 1st. The stocking locations are at Davis Camp and Community Park. The best bait is reported to be yellow and orange power bait and of course night crawlers. Try small spinner baits if the power baits are not working. Try swim baits for stripers, especially ones that look like trout. You can check the Bureau of Reclamation Web site for flow predictions http://www.usbr.gov/lc/riverops.html before you go. If you fish the river below Davis Dam and are having luck, please e-mail me at gcummins@azgfd.gov so I can share your successes with others. Many thanks to Rusty from the Riviera Marina for his fishing reports.
