FISHING
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 Ice conditions are deteriorating. Use extreme caution. Anglers may want to drill through the ice adjacent to the dock and then fish from the dock. ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR The ice conditions are unsafe. LAKE MEAD Fishing continues to be consistent for boaters from Vegas Bay to Crawdad Cove. Boaters must spend time to find the fish to be successful. Cut anchovies have been taking stripers. Shore and pier fishing off Boulder Harbor with anchovies have been taking stripers. No trout have been reported after the recent plants. LAKE MOHAVE Shore anglers continue to have success at Willow Beach with several anglers leaving with limits of trout averaging 12 1/2 inches. Baits of choice are marshmallows, lures, PowerBaits, and live worms. Fish have been congregating around the "big rocky cliff" south of the picnic area. Large striper action is picking up down the canyon with lunkers up to 38 pounds taking swimbaits. Fishing has slowed down at Cottonwood Cove with only a few boaters catching fish on cut baits. Fishing should pick up if the weather gets warm. LAUGHLIN Though the fish are mostly small, striped bass are hitting cut anchovies below Davis Dam. Anglers are catching some largemouth bass along the Colorado River. Above the dam on Lake Mohave, smallies and largemouth are both active. WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA There is some open water on Adams-McGill. Ice conditions are questionable so use extreme caution. Because of poor road conditions, high clearance, four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended until conditions change. There is no cell service on the management area. URBAN PONDS Flies and lures have been most productive following the trout plants. Some anglers are finding success with PowerBait and worms. Patience is key to success between trout plants. |
