Southern Nevada Fish Reports

With most of our fish in spawn, the fishing has been really slow. But it's time to go after the striper, as that bite should be doing well. Up on Lake Mohave, watch for boils of shad; the striper should be right there, with anchovies producing some great catches. Even a couple of jigs in various colors should work well. The coves above the power

We have a healthy population of these fish along the Colorado River, especially in the still water areas. On Lake Mohave, these panfish aren't as large as those in the Havasu

While the fish are on the nest guarding the eggs, they are not interested in eating for a bit. Personally, I'm not a fan of taking the fish off the nest as it kills the eggs.
