Nevada Fish Reports


Lake Mohave Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
While some anglers are reporting a slowdown in fishing action, smallmouth and largemouth bass are still biting hard when they do. The fish are still quite active in the coves and can be fooled with drop shots, football jigs and tubes. Striped bass are harder to come by but anglers are finding some response early in the morning using various swimbaits.

Lake Mead Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Reports remained consistent over the past week. Catfish have been hitting on anchovies, chicken liver and shrimp. Working the backs of coves at night will produce the best results. Shad can be found in coves during the early morning hours and can be very effective for striped bass. The best striper fishing has been taking place at first light with anglers using cut baits or

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

The ranch hasn't had much pressure lately but the few clients we've had on there have done well with dry/dropper rigs and dead drift crayfish. Some nice fish being landed, some in the 20 to 22 inch range!

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is still fishing pretty well, the dry/dropper rigs as described above are the way to go. There are quite a few really nice fish in the mid 20's running around the ranch and with the more limited amount of water compared to most years it's a great place to get on the water without any crowds.

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is fishing very well this past week, lots of good action on dry/dropper rigs just like the Cali side of the river. We also have had a couple good reports on dead drift crayfish on the ranch. The water is staying a bit cooler on the Nevada side of the river right now and the fish are still pretty happy.

Lots of caddis and stoneflies come off during the course of the day. Water temp is in the mid-60s and higher in the afternoon. Evening hatch is a good time to get out and give the fish a break at the same time. Early morning also is very good. Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters (530) 587-4844.
