FISHING REPORT
FISHING REPORT

• LAKE MEAD — Despite Friday’s trout plants, fishing was slow at Hemenway Fishing Point, Boulder Harbor and Crawdad Cove. Two stripers weighing close to 20 pounds each reportedly were caught on trolled hardware earlier in the week. One angler said he caught small stripers in Boulder Harbor after switching from hardware to cut bait. There is talk that striper fishing is better in the morning after the plants. Fishing seems to be a little better in the Overton Arm, where a Wyoming snowbird caught 25 stripers Monday while trolling with hardware and casting sardines. Fishing is slow in the Temple Bar area.
