Lower Colorado River Fish Report

BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA — Nothing has changed from previous reports. Largemouth bass should be good in the various backwaters along this stretch of the river. Try top-water in the mornings and evenings followed by plastics and spinnerbaits after the top-water bite shuts down. The same fishing for flatheads will continue to bite on bluegill or other live bait in the main channel. Worms and green crankbaits will continue to attract bass in the backwaters. Just a reminder, Cibola Lake is closed to fishing from the first Monday in September (Labor Day) through March 15.
