Rainbow Trout
While Lake Havasu City might not be the first place you'd expect to find rainbow trout, the Colorado River below Parker Dam offers a unique opportunity. The cold, oxygenated water released from the dam creates a suitable environment for trout. The best time to target rainbows is during the cooler months, from fall through spring. Focus on areas with current and structure, such as riffles and submerged rocks. A local tip is to use small spinners or fly-fishing techniques with nymphs and streamers. Be aware of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate significantly. The rainbow trout in this stretch of the Colorado River are known for their vibrant colors and willingness to take a fly or lure.
