Fishing Report
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 Tiger trout have been hitting lures and rainbow trout have been biting on PowerBait. Anglers can expect good trout fishing into early summer. ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR With good water levels trout fishing continues to be good around the lake with the dam being the most popular fishing area. Crappie have been biting on brown and white Woolly Buggers and crappie jigs. Bass fishing continues to improve with increasing temperatures. LAKE MEAD Anglers fishing in the Vegas Wash arm have found success with cut baits such as anchovies, sardines, and squid. Action is slow in the Boulder Beach area. Bluegill and crappie anglers are catching fish near Echo Bay and Stewart's Point. LAKE MOHAVE Trout fishing has been slow at Willow Beach for the past few weeks with minimal success on PowerBait near Jumbo Wash. Striper fishing down the river has slowed though a six-pound striper took a BZZ lure over the weekend. Anglers participating in an American Bass tournament reported good largemouth and smallmouth fishing all over the lake with top-water and shallow-diving lures. Stripers and catfish in the two- to five-pound class are biting on a variety of cut baits -- anchovies, sardines, and squid. LAUGHLIN Fishing was good over the weekend at Big Bend State Park. Fly anglers did well with streamer patterns for stripers and largemouth bass. WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA Trout fishing has been very good on all reservoirs. Anglers using PowerBait, lures, and flies are all catching fish. Fishing for bass should continue to improve. URBAN PONDS Bluegill and trout were hitting on mealworms at Floyd Park over the weekend. Sunfish and bass should become more active in all the Clark County ponds as the weather warms. |
