As you stated a FF is a definite advantage to read the depth.
A good GPS with the river on it is also a good thing to have as you can mark your route, hopefully in the channel, going out and follow it back even in the dark.
Almost any hole you can find along the bank is likely to produce stripers. I've caught quite a few when fishing smaller baits for Flatheads.
That Swift water just below the Palo Verde Diversion Dam does produce a good striper now and then.
Just down river where the cable crosses is said to be the hot spot for Flatheads, also where the drain comes off the CRIT reservation on the Az. side is supposed to produce some bigger models.
