Depending on what section of the river you want to run you will have different water levels.  Most places you can run without problems by 10am.

The water temps on the other hand will keep all but the fishermen and die hards off the water.   

We've ridden our dirt bikes across the river at Avi in February. The math is simple.......

Launch at Jack Smith in Needles. Deep water all the way to the gorge. If you need to go north of the Needles Bridge you got to be careful. Join Old School Marine also for Colorado river levels too, could be helpful.

First weekend of March is best. You should always watch the local weater reports, I have had nice days turn to storms in just minutes.

It was a great trip! Picked the boat up in Parris March 5th, and spent the next 2 weeks ripping up the Colorado from Laughlin to Havasu. Water was great, only one day where water was very low, and water temp as warm as our lakes get mid-summer.

Checked out Havasu on Saturday March 12th, went from Havasu City all the way to Parker Dam (real choppy on way North, not real fun)

I didn't see any other jets the whole trip, except under London Bridge there were a couple pulled up.

It's gonna suck waiting until end of June to get the boat out again. 

Thanks.

It is in incredible shape for a 76. Shows very little wear and no sun fading. It might be because of the porpoising problem, but I am working on fixing that.

I was definitely worth driving 3000 miles each way to pick it up, and the 2 weeks of boating down there when there is 6 feet of ice here was a nice bonus.

are those nerf footballs? lol thats badass 

right on man. whatever works  . ive never seen that before lol. always helpful to think outside the box every once in a while.
