Havasu in March is good for largemouth bass, striped bass and smallmouth bass. Our primary bait fish is shad. Anything shad like should work for any or all of them. Stripers and smallmouth can spawn in March. Largemouth typically start spawning in late March or early April.

In March, I like fishing toward either the Bill Williams Wildlife Area (inflows attract stripers etc.) or way at the other end of the lake toward Topock Gorge (where the Colorado River comes in).

The best information can be gleaned by a visit to the local tackle shops and any of the RV parks.

Good luck;

I can not afford a guide and would like to know the kind of tackle, colors, and lures to bring with me from New York. Please be kind enough to give me moderate run down of the fishing venues in Havasu. Thanks, John Mariano Hello,
