Great Fishing Going On!

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

In spite of the heat we have some great fishing going on. The area below Davis Dam here along the Colorado river is producing some nice trout limits and for our bait anglers its power bait and night crawlers that are working best. Now I am not saying that other baits are better or worse and other types work also but anchovies work really well.

Fishing Pressure has Been Light!

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Monsoonal thunderstorms brought rains to the area over the weekend. A wet weather pattern has kept reservoir water level higher than usual. Fishing pressure has been light, but the few anglers who are venturing out are finding the best fishing in the early morning hours. Of late the water has been murky and aquatic vegetation continues to spread.

Monsoonal Rains!

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Monsoonal rains kept most people off the water over the weekend, but those who did try their luck found good fishing for rainbow trout early in the morning. The fish were taking PowerBait, night crawlers with a bit of marshmallow and small, gold spinning lures. Crappie hit the lures as well.

Warm Water Fish are Providing the Best Fishing!

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Warm water fish are providing the best fishing. Anchovies are catching striped bass all along the river. Both shore and boat anglers are catching the fish. Live or plastic worms fished along shelves are bringing in smallmouth bass. Rainbow trout are still biting below Davis Dam and around Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area.

Lake Mohave Fishing Report

Smallmouth Bass and stripers are biting near Nevada Telephone Cove, and Bluegill are taking worms in the vicinity of Placer Cove. Look for black bass in coves near Cottonwood Cove. At Willow Beach, Striped Bass are hitting anchovies or artificial lures. Large swimbaits in trout patterns are bringing in the bigger stripers.

Urban Ponds Fishing Report

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Small bluegill and bass can be seen rising on some of the ponds. They are taking flies, small lures and mealworms. Heavy rains have caused murky water conditions, and that has also kept many anglers at home. The best action can be found in the morning before the temperature reaches triple digits.

Catfish are Eating Almost Anything!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are finding good fishing for striped bass in the Boulder Basin. The fish are taking anchovies. With high daytime temperatures, the best action can be found in the early morning or evening hours. Catfish are eating almost anything fished off the bottom in coves. Shore fishing for bluegill has been very good around Government Wash.

Get out in the Mornings and You’ll get Some Fish!

by MATT KOLES

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Flows have been bumped up a bit, but not much change since last week. Get out in the mornings and you’ll get some fish. Afternoons maybe not so much. It is hot, around 90’ish every afternoon in the Hirsch. Very nice in the mornings. About water temps. Temps will get warm above the outflow of the Little Truckee River.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

Fishing has been great over the past week for variety of species throughout the lake. Stripers have been seen boiling in the marina and coves around the lake, biting on Sardines, lugworms, chicken liver, and some lures like kastmasters. Catfish are also biting off shore and down deep towards the island, typically caught using chicken liver and anchovies. Bass have been biting as well

Still Some Nice Fish Being Caught.

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

Like the other sections of the EW the ranch has toughened up a bit but there are still some nice fish being caught. It seems as though the browns are a little more shy than the rainbows lately as the bows are making more of a showing down there than the browns. Most of the same patterns that are working on the California section will

Cold Springs Reservoir has Been Fishing the Best.

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Of the five reservoirs on the management area, Cold Springs Reservoir has been fishing the best. Anglers have been catching rainbow trout with bait and lures. Aquatic vegetation has been growing along the shorelines at each reservoir. Anglers are doing well by casting beyond the weeds or using boats to reach open areas.

Fishing Remains Good Throughout the Reservoir.

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing remains good throughout the reservoir. Most anglers are catching fish with garlic-flavored PowerBait or night crawlers. Bass action has been particularly good with several anglers catching and releasing as many as 100 fish per day. Several bass have weighed more than 2 pounds.

The Fish are Taking Brightly Colored Lures and Jigs.

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Action has slowed in recent days as seasonal growth of aquatic vegetation continues along the shoreline. The southeastern shore has been a hotspot for bass and crappie. The fish are taking brightly colored lures and jigs, but the best fishing is found early in the morning and after sundown.

Sunfish have been hitting mealworms at Floyd Lamb Park. Catfish and bass also are taking baits. While no reports were received from the other urban ponds, bluegill, bass and catfish should be hitting in the early morning and after sunset. Due to high temperatures, catfish will not be planted during July but stocking activity should resume in August.

Swimbaits and Anchovies are Working Best!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The Overton Arm is fishing well for both shore anglers and boaters. This is a great place for fishing from small boats and paddlecraft, such as kayaks. Anglers are catching bass, catfish and striped bass. Swimbaits and anchovies are working best near the dam and in the Government Wash area.

We are having a great fishing season both Striped Bass and Rainbow Trout. We do have a few other type of fish to go after but these 2 are most common and easy to land. Here below the Davis Dam along the Colorado river this year is the greatest. The trout bite has slowed some because of the heat as this fish likes the colder
