LAKE MEAD

Cut bait has been the ticket for stripers along the beaches and at Hemenway Point where a 10-year old angler reeled in a 22-pound fish last weekend.

A pair of stripers weighing 12 and 14 pounds were also caught in this area. Anglers continue to catch fish in the one- to three-pound class in the Vegas Bay area on cut bait and by jigging hard baits.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife trout stocking plan calls for the planting of rainbow trout each week at B-5 road and at Hemenway.

Trout anglers may want to try rainbow PowerBait or small hardware like Panther Martins, Super Dupers or Little Jakes.

Striper activity usually picks up in the vicinity of the trout plants.

LAKE MOHAVE

Fishing has improved for both shore and boat anglers in the Cottonwood Cove area and is being described as fair to good.

Anglers have been coming in with stringers full of stripers and catfish. There are reports of 20-pound or bigger stripers being taken while trolling lures. Trolling with bait is also producing fish.

At Willow Beach, rainbow trout are being caught near the hatchery outflow, but fishing has slowed down there as well. Those who have been catching the fish are doing so on PowerBait or flies.

Striped bass anglers have found some success while throwing Bomber Long A lures and swimbaits in trout patterns. One angler reeled in a 35-inch fish that weighed 17.5 pounds just downstream of Monkey Hole.
