FISHING REPORT
■ LAKE MEAD -- Vegas Wash and the surrounding area continues to produce striped bass and good top-water action. The fish generally aren't big by striper standards, but they cook well, nonetheless. Live shad and shad imitations are catching fish. The Nevada Department of Wildlife is reminding anglers that shad nets must have a radius no larger than 4 feet from horn to lead line.
The beaches north of Hemenway are slow for shore anglers, though boaters are catching fish near the Boulder Islands. Boulder Harbor is also giving up stripers to shore fishermen. Anglers fishing out of Temple Bar also are catching striped bass.
■ LAKE MOHAVE -- Fishing has slowed throughout the lake in the wake of recent storm activity and the arrival of colder temperatures. But anglers are still finding success for striped, largemouth and smallmouth bass.
■ LAUGHLIN -- Anglers have found success for stocked rainbow trout below Davis Camp and from the bridge to casino row.
■ URBAN PONDS -- Anglers are still catching stocked catfish, though the action is slow. NDOW plans to conduct its first trout plant of the fall Tuesday.
■ KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- Stocked rainbow trout are providing action for anglers at Cold Springs, Haymeadow and Adams-McGill reservoirs. Be prepared for cold and inclement weather conditions. Conditions can change quickly.
■ EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- The reservoir is giving up tiger and German brown trout. Some fish are reaching the 14-inch mark. Lures are outproducing traditional baits.
■ ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- The rainbow trout bite is good at this Lincoln County reservoir. Anglers are finding success for planter trout and largemouth bass. Hardware has been the most productive bait option.
