Often I am asked during off seasons where is good fishing right now?  I always try to give my customers since 1979 the best information even if it is not where I am guiding.  A “good guide” should do this.

Southwestern AZ Lakes like Havasu and Mohave are good fly an spin opportunities right now between Spring storm fronts for Fly fishing.  Try the south end of Havasu around Havasu Springs with a 7-8 wt rod and 15-20 sink trip 200 grain line with a 8ft-10lb fluro carbon leader and  black and white 3″ clauser fly.

Fish right outside buoy field casting to the shore lines especially around the Havasu Springs Marina and docks with medium strip at 15′ depth.

Tight Lines,
