Fishing ReportThis 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.

Reports
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.
