QUAGGA REMINDER: The Nevada Department of Wildlife is asking boaters to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of quagga mussels from the Colorado River system to other waters.

Thoroughly clean, drain and dry your boat, trailer and towing vessel before traveling to another water.

EAGLE VALLEY

RESERVOIR

Shore fishing continues to be slow, though some anglers are catching fish with PowerBait and worms. Float tubers seem to be faring well by casting Rooster Tails and flies in deep water near the aeration bubbles. Rumor has it that a 10-pound largemouth bass was pulled from the lake last week.

ECHO CANYON

RESERVOIR

Despite low water levels some fishermen continue to try their luck on this reservoir. They have been finding some success for trout, bass and crappie while throwing Rooster Tails or a bubble and a fly.

LAKE MEAD

Early morning hours are still productive for anglers fishing from Sand Island to Government Wash. Striped bass are responding to top-water baits and jigging techniques.

The fish are small, but plentiful. Action in the Boulder Beach area is hit-and-miss though some stripers are taking bait. Fishermen are catching stripers and catfish along the tires at Hemenway.

LAKE MOHAVE

Willow Beach is still giving up rainbow trout though some anglers are finding more success than others. Those spending the most time with their line in the water are doing the most catching.

Anglers using PowerBait, PowerWorms and night crawlers are catching rainbows from the new fishing pier. Most trout are planter-size fish, but one angler caught a 7.6-pound rainbow last week. Shore anglers also are catching trout near the hatchery outflow stream.

Boat anglers are catching stripers and channel cats. Some stripers are reportedly breaking the 20-pound mark.

Near Cottonwood stillfishing with cut anchovies is producing bites for shore anglers fishing near the points on both sides of the marina. Anglers are catching both striped bass and catfish. Boaters are catching stripers with swim baits and whole anchovies.

LAUGHLIN

No Report.

WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Anglers are catching fish but they have to work at it. Water temperatures are hovering near 70 degrees so trout are showing limited activity. Bass action has been slow for the past couple of weeks. Word is that fall trout plants will take place sometime in the next few weeks.

URBAN PONDS

The Nevada Department of Wildlife planted catfish in each of the four Las Vegas area urban fisheries late last week. Mesquite's Hafen Park also was stocked. Bait fished on the bottom will generally catch whisker fish.
