The Rainbow Trout stocking at both Community Park and Davis Camp is providing anglers with limits. a brief reminder the limit below Davis dam has been changed to 5 trout as your bag limit. These trout that are being provided by the Willow beach hatchery have been in the 12 inch range or better for the most part.  Night crawlers and PowerBait in yellow, red.

I am pleased to show our local trout anglers Tony Smith and Chris Duncan with a couple they landed in the rotary park area. while fishing from shore and using night crawlers they landed a couple each. You can these are a quality size trout that our willow beach hatchery is providing. speaking of the hatchery they are now stocking at community park and Davis

No word from Lake Mohave as of yet. I assume its our weather that is keeping most anglers off the lake this will soon change as our good weather is just around the bend.

The fishing action has been quiet this past week with only a few anglers trying their luck. The water levels remain low, but are starting to rise, as the aquatic vegetation has been dying off. The rainbows have been taking pink powerbait to add to the usual orange or green powerbait and power eggs.

Shore fishing is slow on the north end out of Willow Beach. Anglers are having trouble getting out past the weeds near the fishing pier. Those anglers that are getting out on the water are having good success with striped bass. Trout are still be stocked south of the Willow Marina. Trout fishing is good with the cooler waters.

Cooler weather is here, with a few warm days mixed in. Those warm days will be great to go out for black bass and crappie in the Overton Arm. Black Bass has started to slow, but anglers have had some success at sunrise and sunset using drop shots near underwater cliffs. Near the Boulder Islands, black bass are biting on a variety of popper lures.

Only a few anglers were seen around the reservoir this past week, but those who ventured out found much improved fishing for rainbow trout. Cooling water temperatures also have begun to kill off the aquatic vegetation and open up the shoreline to fishing. Water levels are on the rise.

Trout action has been very slow this past week, but bass and crappie have been active early in the morning and in the evening. The reservoir’s water level is low and weeds have been making shore fishing tough. Look for fish in the deep water along the dam.

Anglers are pursuing striped bass near Willow Beach on the north and Katherine Landing on the south. Stripers are holding in deep water and taking anchovies along the dam. Some of the smaller fish are schooling and will hit on a trout imitation swimbait. Black bass are hitting on silver variations of the Whopper Plopper near Cottonwood Cove. Catfish are biting on worms and chicken

Catfish and striper action is good.Striped bass in the 1- to 3-pound range are schooling in Las Vegas Bay. Anglers are catching catfish on anchovies and worms outside of Hemenway Harbor. A group of young fishers had a great evening catching black bass and stripers on a recent excursion to the Boulder Islands. Black bass are active on the east side of Boulder Basin and

Lake Mohave is producing the better catches of both Striped Bass and Channel Catfish. Anchovies are providing your best catches.

Up on Lake Mohave the Channel Catfish are biting on worms, anchovies, chicken and liver. Your best spots are the coves above the power lines. Anglers have some luck with the Striped Bass in the mouths of the coves near the Davis Dam and the points of the coves seem to be your best bet.
