The ranch has also been a little tough though there are some nice fish being caught. With the current water conditions don't expect to have a 30 fish day, but then again, any time on the water is good time!

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

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

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.

Lake Mohave Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake level today is 64 feet above msl. Reports are that smallmouth and largemouth are hitting on the lake but that stripers are much harder to find. The high lake level submerges shoreline vegetation which attracts bass. Reports of people catching both black bass species are common. Mixing up your colors with plastics is doing well on largemouth and

Lake Mead Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The elevation will continue to drop over the summer. The present elevation is 1086 feet above msl. Be careful boating because of fluctuating water levels and watch for floating debris dislodged from changing water levels. There seems to be an abundance of shad currently which may be the reason for the lack of bite. Cut anchovies are still the bait of choice
