Lake Mead — Anglers are catching striped bass in the 2- to 4-pound range near Hemenway and Boulder Harbor. Fish are biting primarily on anchovies, but some anglers have reported success using PowerBait floating eggs and imitation shad swimbaits. Black bass action has been slow, but with warmer temperatures in the forecast anglers may find the fish biting in shallow coves.

Lake Mohave — A few anglers have been rewarded with catfish while fishing after dusk at Willow Beach. Rainbow trout are biting on rainbow PowerBait, Rooster Tails and small spoons. One angler reported catching a 5-pound trout on pink eggs. Further south, anglers are catching 4- to 7-pound stripers on anchovies. Smallmouth bass are active near the shelves and largemouth bass are being found in shallow coves.

Laughlin — Shore anglers are catching limits of rainbow trout with night crawlers and spinners. The striper bite is picking up along Big Bend State Recreation Area.  Anchovies are a top bait for this stretch of the river, bringing in both striped bass and catfish. Just below Davis Dam, an angler reportedly caught a 25-pound striper using a shad pattern Glide Bait.

Las Vegas urban ponds — The Nevada Department of Wildlife stocked rainbow trout in Beatty and the Las Vegas area urban ponds last week.

The fish have been biting on PowerBait, mealworms, and night crawlers, as well as small spinning lures and spoons. Please dispose of discarded fishing line in provided recycle bins or trash receptacles.

Anglers are having the best luck with PowerBait colors and night crawlers. The ice is still 8-10-inches thick over most of the reservoir. For up to date ice conditions contact the park at 775-962-5102.
