Fishing Report

This fishing report for Lake Mead is brought to you by the NDOW.

4-4-2012

Plastics are catching both largemouth and smallmouth bass. One lucky angler reeled in a 4.5-pound largemouth bass near Temple Bar. The fish hit a hard jerkbait. Folks at Temple Bar Marina report the best action in the upper lake has been seen between mile markers 42 to 45, though the stripers are trending to the skinny side. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits continue to be somewhat effective. Fishing guide Jim Goff reports that shad have come into the shallows to spawn and the striped bass action has picked up in the Vegas Wash area.  In the Hemenway area anglers are catching a few stripers while fishing at night.

New Fish Report: Overall the fishing has been tough at this popular fishery. Anglers are looking forward to some respite from the spring winds. Plastics are catching both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits have taken fish as well. Striper action is slow, but the Vegas Wash area continues to give up a few small fish to anglers using cut bait or trolling. -NDOW

Fishing report from NDOW april 10th

LAKE MEAD – Striper action remains slow but has shown signs of picking up in

the Overton Arm. Fish in the Echo Bay area are averaging about three pounds. Cut

anchovies and sardines fished near the bottom are catching the fish. Smallmouth and

largemouth bass have moved up in the shallows to spawn and are bending rods. The

winning bag in Saturday’s Ultimate Bass team tournament included a 5.5-pound fish

that pushed the total bag weight to 21 pounds.
