[cool]You've lived in some of the hottest spots in the Southwest. What's next on your dance card...Death Valley?
When I lived in Riverside, I spent almost every weekend hitting the river above and below Blythe. Some of the canals and side channels on the reservation had some good fishing. I especially liked below the Palo Verde Wier, before they rebuilt it and changed the channels. I usually stay in Ehrenberg when I go over from Phoenix, but it ain't the same these days.
Have you fished the Salton Sea much. It stinks, but there is some fantastic fishing to be had. It is a float tuber's paradise for those big ol' corvinas. They are close relatives of the white sea bass, and you can often count on some 15 to 20 pound fish in a day's fishing. If they're not in, the big tilapia hit bass lures like crazy. You can wear your rod arm out on them.
So much fishing...so little time.
