FISHING REPORT

• LAKE MEAD -- Striper fishing is good using live shad or lures in the Vegas Wash area. Trout fishing has been good because of plants. Anglers have been catching trout off the docks at Hemenway, Boulder Harbor and Crawdad Cove with PowerBait as well as catching a few stripers with shad. Stripers are coming in to chase the trout. Trout plants are set for Friday.

• LAKE MOHAVE -- Anglers have been catching stripers up to 5 pounds while drifting or trolling with anchovies in 30 to 50 feet of water. Catfish are biting cut and prepared baits fished on the bottom. Trout are scheduled to be planted today at Aztec Wash and Placer Cove.

• URBAN PONDS -- Fishing for trout has been good. PowerBait, marshmallows, lures and flies are catching fish. Anglers reported catching fish up to 12 inches long. The next plant is set for Tuesday.

• KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- With ice on the reservoirs, anglers will find little to no open water. The ice is too thin. However, large trout can be caught near the inlet to Dacey Reservoir.

• EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- Ice is forming in the north part of the reservoir, but ice around the southern portion melts by midday, making fishing off the dam or dock a good choice.

• ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- With no ice and good stream flows from the inlet, feisty rainbows remain present.
