No Water, No Fishing

Low Colorado River water level means no fishing as conditions deteriorate. Despite all the recent El Nino influenced rain and snow, the water levels of small lakes and backwaters connected to the river are extremely low. The Colorado River is controlled by a series of man made dams and network of canals. By the time … Read more

Kayak Fishing Photos and GIFs

New Kayak Fishing Photos and GIFs have been posted on the watermanatwork.com website. We have not been kayak fishing in some time. The water in the Colorado River is much colder than normal, which results in poor fishing because the fish are refrigerated.

Big Chill

After months of persistent desert wind conditions that prevented us from fishing one of our favorite spots on the Colorado River, the wind took a break for one day, and we headed out early in the morning. This place has a very sketchy launch, especially in the dark, and it is a couple miles of … Read more

Hot Weather Tough Fishing

Even with hot weather and tough fishing conditions on the lower Colorado River, we managed to get in a few good kayak fishing sessions. It’s been very hot here in the desert southwest. Nearly 100°F almost every day, 75° at night. This is after a summer where it was over 110° every day for more … Read more

Back on the Water

It’s been a long, hot summer of no kayak fishing but we are back on the water fishing for largemouth bass on the Colorado River. Back in the day, we would be fishing for salmon and steelhead on the Columbia River, but that’s just a memory now. From everything I heard, the salmon fishing has … Read more
