Title: Big River on 4th of July
Post by: USCvictory on May 19, 2012, 03:08:21 PM: FNG here. Is Big River a good spot the weekend prior to 4th of July? If not what's a good low key spot ?

I think Blythe will have a worse infestation of lake lice but if you keep the diverter up they won't get too close >:D

Some people don't like Yuma, but I went a couple times last year and liked the water conditions even when busy (Labor Day).
