Nevada Fish Reports

Water temperatures are creeping back down into the mid 60s. Algae is beginning to disperse but weeds remain thick in the southern portion of the reservoir.

Fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns,

Water temperatures are in the low 60s. Anglers can expect decent shoreline fishing around the reservoir. The reservoir received 2,024 rainbow trout this spring, averaging 10 inches.  In July, a total of 5,000 tiger trout were stocked averaging 3.7 inches. The fishery is still recovering after significant drawdown events.

After a long, warm summer trout are getting a reprieve, with current water temperatures sitting at 630F.  Trout fishing should start picking up soon for the fall bite.  Anglers should try PowerBait, spinners, nightcrawlers, and wetflies behind a bubble. Trout in the 16-to-22-inch range have been seen shoaling in the north end of the south lake.  The vegetation that has hampered access all summer is

Water temperatures are in the low 60s.  The western side of the old dam is exposed and just a small portion of the east side is visible.  Boats, float tubes, and kayaks can be easily launched. Shoreline fishing has been good with anglers catching 3 to 4 fish per hour.  Recent angler contacts revealed rainbow trout in the 10-to-14 inch range being caught.  A few

Striped bass anglers are reporting success when trolling swimbaits and when fishing with anchovies. Sticking to shad imitations for your swimbaits would be a good place to start if trolling. Largemouth bass should be up shallow in the coves. Finesse presentations while the bass are up shallow in cover may be a good starting point. Smallmouth bass can also be caught this time of year.

Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year. Striped bass are being found largely by trolling. Main lake points would be a good spot to start until a school is found. Swimbaits and anchovies seem to be the crowd favorite when targeting striped bass. Look for the largemouth bass to move into the shallower water later this month. Once up shallow, they can

Striped bass fishing below Davis Dam is still producing. Trout-colored swimbaits and anchovies have been the go-to so far this season. Rainbow trout are also being caught out of this stretch. PowerBait has been very popular, but anglers may also try some inline spinners or small tube jigs when targeting trout. Special Regulations: From Separation Canyon to Hoover Dam (including Lake Mead): The limit is

Crappie are biting Hare’s Ear nymphs and night crawlers near the dam. Midges and PowerBait are catching fish throughout the day with the best trout action taking place early and late in the day. The bass spawn was good, and anglers have been catching bass ranging from 4 to 12 inches. The water is very low making it difficult to launch even a light trailer.

Low water conditions continue, and most fish will be hiding along the dam where the water is deepest. Rainbow trout have been biting on marshmallows and Powerbait right off the bottom. Rooster Tails and other spinners work great to catch Rainbows and crappie near the surface at sunrise or sunset. A few bass have been biting worms fished on a drop shot.

The river is producing striped bass between 1 and 2 pounds, but some lucky anglers are occasionally catching bigger fish. One angler reported catching a 9-pound striper on a Pencil Popper. Rainbow trout fishing is slow, but with the recent caddis hatch a dry caddis fly might entice the fish. Catfish are hiding in heavy vegetation. Chicken livers and cut anchovies fished off the bottom are

Jointed swimbaits in rainbow trout patterns are attracting stripers at Willow Beach. Where the reservoir opens up, stripers are showing a preference for jerkbaits and anchovies. Black bass in the 2- to 6-pound class are being caught at depths nearing 30 feet. Catfish up to 5 pounds are hitting anchovies fished off the bottom at night. Topwater lures are working for smallmouth bass near shelves,

Bluegill, catfish and bass are giving anglers something to tell tales about. One lucky angler reeled in a bass that hit on a crankbait at Sunset Park. Catfish are hitting on night crawlers and hot dog pieces. Small hooks baited up with a mealworm or chunk of a night crawler are catching bluegill and green sunfish. Please discard the fishing line in the provided trash

Anglers are finding striper boils throughout the morning, often within 100 feet of the shore. Topwater Spooks and many variations of shad lures are catching black bass early in the day. Jigs and deep diving jerkbaits seem to work later in the day. Catfish and striper action has been good overnight. Stink baits and anchovies are effective baits for catfish, while anchovies are a good
