EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR

Cool temperatures have fishing heating up. Rainbow trout have been biting on prepared bait, mini marshmallows, and night crawlers. Spinners and lures have been poor performers. Nighttime temperatures have been cold.

ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR

Fishing has picked up and so has the catching. A pair of Las Vegas anglers recently pulled in 12 fish in just a couple of hours - eight largemouth bass and four rainbow trout. All fish were caught on spinner baits.

LAKE MEAD

Threadfin shad have moved close enough to shore that anglers can catch them or reach trailing stripers with surface lures and other baits.

Anglers continue to reel in small striped bass from the Vegas Wash area. Recent winds have made fishing a little tough, but determined anglers are catching fish.

Trout plants should begin sometime in mid- to late November with fish coming primarily from the Mason Valley Hatchery in Yerington.

LAKE MOHAVE

Windy conditions have slowed fishing activity at Willow Beach. Trout fishing has been sluggish though persistent anglers have caught a few fish.

Other fishermen managed to reel in catfish, carp and some striped bass while fishing downstream from Willow Beach. At Cottonwood Cove, anglers are finding improved fishing over recent weeks.

Both shoreline and boat anglers have been catching fish during all hours of the day. Early mornings and late evenings are still most productive.

Catfish are taking prepared baits fished on the bottom while stripers have been hitting baits trolled behind boats or stillfished at depths from 15 to 60 feet.

WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Duck season started this weekend, but that shouldn't impact the fishing action for trout or bass.

During the past few weeks fishermen have enjoyed good to excellent trout fishing for fishing ranging from small planters to mature holdovers.

URBAN PONDS

This week marks the last time this year that catfish will be stocked in the urban ponds. Anglers should find success for the whisker fish as well as bluegill and even largemouth bass.
