Fresh Lake Havasu Fishing Reports

*Pictured is my son Kaleb with this beautiful 3 pound Small Mouth Bass hooked while taking a break from guiding out near the Bill Williams River* Flathead Catfish The Flathead Catfish bite has been strong on Lake Havasu, especially during evening and night sessions. Anglers report several hook-ups with fish in the 10–20 lb range using live sunfish (bluegill)—our go-to bait for trophy Flatheads. These deep-water predators are staging around submerged rock structures and current edges, with drop-shot and bait rigs yielding the best results. Striped Bass Striper action has been excellent around sunrise and sunset near Windsor State Park, the chalk cliffs, and Main Channel. Local reports have noted schools boiling on baitfish, with anglers landing stripers from 14–20 inches using green-tailed Bass Assassins or cut anchovies on 3/8–½ oz leadheads.
