All interested,
I just got back from fishing the Colorado River over the weekend. Although no monsters were caught personally, I at least wanted to give some stats on the river at Blythe so that everyone going to the gathering can have a better idea of what to expect.
Water temperature the first night was 67.3 degrees. Second night was at 68.2 degrees. The water levels were pretty steady both nights with little rise/fall in depth...which is a good thing in my book. There has been some sandbar shifting going on in a few parts of the river, but nothing too concerning. Most depths are 10-15 feet in the main channel to 3-4 feet in the shallows.
The temperatures at night on Friday night was in the lower-to-mid 50's, but Saturday night was about 60 degrees...much nicer.
Ultimately, things are shaping up to be nice for the gathering in a few weeks. I was able to look at a few more areas to test out. Hopefully one of these spots will bring in some nice flatties in the future.
