FISHING

Advertisement

EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR

Fishing has been slow though some anglers have been catching rainbow trout when fishing early in the morning or late in the evening after daytime temperatures cool down.

Still fishing with PowerBait or worms should net anglers some fish.

ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR

In recent weeks low water and high temperatures, coupled with weed growth, have resulted in slow fishing. Action should pick up as daytime temperatures begin to drop.

Meanwhile persistent anglers could find some success.

LAKE MEAD

Anglers looking to reel in a mess of stripers will find success for school-size fish in the Vegas Bay arm from Gypsum Wash to Boxcar Cove.

Kingman Wash has also been producing fish. Fishing along the beaches and near Hemenway continues to be slow.

LAKE MOHAVE

PowerBait in colors from orange to rainbow and Zeke's Sierra Gold have been taking rainbow trout at Willow Beach last week.

Anglers have had some success with a variety of hardware as well, including Jake's Lures, Super Dupers, Panther Martins and other spinners.

Shore fishermen and boaters alike were successful. Striper anglers were successful using lures that resembled small rainbow trout in the three- to four-inch range.

Anglers fishing out of Cottonwood Cove have been finding fair to good striper fishing with prepared bait in the coves north of the marina.

Both stripers and catfish are averaging up to 20 inches in length. Most fish are being caught in the early morning and late evening hours. Blue gill are plentiful.

WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Trout anglers have been battling weed growth along the dams at Haymeadow, Cold Springs and Adams-McGill reservoirs.

However, anglers can still catch fish through patches of open water. Those who are fishing for bass can still find success by working open areas among the weeds.

URBAN PONDS

No current report. Catfish will be stocked in mid-September.
