Lake Mead Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers have found good action for striped bass in the upper basins. Cut anchovies have been catching the fish. The nighttime hours have been especially productive for anglers fishing under lights. In the Boulder Basin, stripers are boiling outside of coves in the early morning and evening hours. Top-water lures like white poppers or a translucent Zara spook are working best for the boils. Anchovies

NDOW stocked it this week for an event, and either the water took a very hard turn in warmth and were inable to find a cool hidey hole or they were shocked due to the tank/vs river water temp, and we've got some dead fish floating near the bridge. Nice flows, and clear. Being clear, start being a little more sneaky (yes,

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been very good for anglers that get on the water before the sun rises. As soon as the sun touches the water the fishing slows down. Mackinaws have been coming in on the north end of the lake just east of Tahoe City. Start on the drop offs in 110 feet of water and move out as the sun starts to rise. Flashers
