Havasu WON Striper Derby 2017

Life above Lake Havasu buzzes with people finding entertainment in many different ways. But did you know that there is a whole other eco-system located below the water's surface? The Havasu WON Striper Derby is just one of more than 30 fishing tournaments going on in Lake Havasu throughout the year. In addition to striper, fishermen find largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish as well as channel and flathead catfish. It's almost as busy under the water as it is above it.

London Bridge Resort hosts the Havasu WON Striper Derby. Entry into the derby costs $175 per two man team.
