Smallmouth Bass Fishing at Lake Havasu

Smallmouth bass were introduced into Lake Havasu and they are flourishing. Small crankbaits, jerkbaits, worms and jigs will catch smallmouth here. The water is quite clear, so light line and long casts may be needed to sneak up on these savvy bass. When the bite is slow throughout the shallow water column, look for smallies in the deeper regions of the lake - often 35 to 50 feet deep.
