Anyone know what the water temp is on average in Late March or early April? I would guess 70s. So probably post spawn/late spring bass and warm enough for my gf to swim?

Yep, lots of water sports Easter time period.

Isn’t that Spring break time on Havasu?

You won't be able to see the forest through the trees on the river during spring break.

Lake Havasu isn’t the Parker Strip below the dam. The Parker Strip maybe the most dangerous river area anywhere during Easter break. A friend was sitting in a chair on a dock when killed by a drunk boater. Havasu  is big long river lake and very busy during the a spring break but no dangerous like the river.

I just lived there the last 6 years and the water is nowhere near the 70s in march or April. Shoot in the river on the north end in July when its 115 you can go out and in the morning the river is in the high 60s and will get into the mid 70s. I fished Havasu almost every weekend. last year April 4th I was starting to see males on beds. and some areas way down south end males and female. Mid lake and north end will be alot cooler. And the north end stays cool year around. But man are those backwaters up north so fun to throw a frog in.

Idk I was there every weekend just about the last 6 years and if you go up into the river on the north end during spring break its madness with drunk pleasure boaters, cigar boats etc.  Then around site 6 is crazy as well. 0mph wind and you would think it was 30 mph lol with all those waves. 

Late March early April it's mid to high 60s. Smallmouth will be mostly done with the spawn with plenty of largies bedding. Temp today 55.
