FISHING REPORT

• LAKE MEAD -- Strong winds kept most anglers at home over the past week. Those who braved the conditions caught stripers in the Vegas Bay arm. Sand Island, Boxcar Cove, Crawdad Cove and Government Wash also have been producing fish. Cut baits such as anchovies, sardines and squid have been the most productive.

Boulder Beach was slow again for shore and boat anglers. Stewart's Point continues to produce fish.

• LAKE MOHAVE -- Trout fishing has been slow the past few weeks. Some striper anglers have caught fish in the 6-pound range downriver from Willow Beach.

Fishing at Cottonwood Cove has been fair in the mornings and evenings. Largemouths and smallies are still taking top-water lures and shallow divers, while stripers up to 6 pounds are biting on anchovies, sardines and squid. Anglers are catching catfish between 2 and 5 pounds on cut baits.

• URBAN PONDS -- Area ponds have been stocked with catfish. Sunfish and bass should become more active as the weather warms while trout fishing is expected to slow.

Urban ponds can be found at Floyd Lamb Park, Lorenzi Park, Sunset Park, Veterans Memorial Park in Boulder City, and Hafen Park in Mesquite.

• KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- Fishing for trout has been good on all reservoirs with PowerBait, lures and flies. Bass action is starting to pick up.

• EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- Trout anglers have been catching fish on PowerBait, worms and flies.

• ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- Anglers have found good fishing off the dam after recent trout plants.
