Lake Mohave Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Smallmouth and largemouth bass have been a better target than stripers as of late. Though one striper weighing 17.9 pounds was caught with anchovies near Katherine Landing. Catfish are active in the coves, mostly at night, and anchovies are productive bait for them as well. The sunfish species have been taking night crawler pieces and small jigs in the backs of coves. Largemouth bass are

Truckee trout worth chasing

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS
River is low along the Glenshire stretch. Flow is at 490 cfs past Boca. River will be a little off-color for the next few days but it shouldn't hurt fishing. Fishing has been quite good and that should resume. Blue wing olives and some stonefly action is taking place. There were some March browns but snow will halt that.

Lake Mohave Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Reports have been light from the lake over the past week, perhaps because windy conditions have pushed anglers off the water.

At Willow Beach, one angler caught a striped bass weighing in at just over five

There is no report this week from the urban ponds, but this time of year anglers find increased action for warm water species. Bluegill and largemouth bass will take night crawlers or mealworms.

Cold fronts blowing their way through the area over the past week have disrupted some of the quality fishing anglers have been enjoying.

When the next wave of warmer temperatures arrive, anglers should
