From Yuma, take 95 north for 21 miles.

LICENSES
If you come to fish this area from a state other than California or Arizona, you’ll have to purchase a non-resident license. License-holders from those two states only need to buy the other state’s $3 Colorado River permit to fish from any floating device on the river. For 2007, the Arizona resident license is $23.50, and the non-resident is $88.00. There are also four-month non-resident licenses for $39.75.

The limit is six bass on the Arizona part of the Colorado. Minimum size is 13 inches.

If you hail from any state other than Arizona and plan on fishing the Colorado River many times during the year, you might consider purchasing an Arizona annual non-resident license for the Colorado River for $48.75. This would be a good choice because to fish the river from Lake Powell to Yuma, you need to buy only the stamps for all the other states that border Arizona.

For more information on lower Colorado River fishing, contact the Arizona Department of Game and Fish, 2222 West Greenway Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85023; or call (602) 942-3000.
