FISHING REPORT

• LAKE MEAD -- Striper fishing has been good in the Vegas Wash and Overton arms for stripers in the 1- to 3-pound range. Successful anglers are catching fish with top-water lures and jigging with anchovies. Boils are occurring, but not consistently.

Anglers have reported fair action for catfish and small stripers at the fishing dock in Boulder Harbor and around the Vegas Wash arm, using cut anchovies and live shad. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are being caught in isolated coves around the lake.

• LAKE MOHAVE -- Fishing at Willow Beach was fair for anglers after the weekly trout plant. Fish would bite for a while, then change their eating behaviors, stumping a few fishermen. Most anglers were successful using small lures; a few were successful with PowerBait.

Striper fishing at Cottonwood Cover has been good on nonwindy days, with the majority of successful anglers catching stripers in the 2- to 6-pound range as well as catfish up to 4 pounds. Anglers have been fishing depths between 20 and 40 feet while trolling or still-fishing with cut anchovies and sardines.

• URBAN PONDS -- Fishing for catfish has been good after the final catfish plant last week. Warm-water species still are being caught, but action has slowed because of cooler temperatures.

• KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- Trout fishing is good on Adams McGill, Cold Springs and Haymeadow reservoirs. With dropping water temperatures and subsequent weed die-off, bait anglers fishing off the bottom will find improved fishing. Bass fishing is slow and should continue to become less productive.

• EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- Rainbows continue to be the most common fish, yet anglers fishing near the north part of the reservoir are pulling in tiger trout. Most common bait continues to be PowerBait on the bottom.

• ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- Anglers have enjoyed catching trout at this reservoir when they're not hunting. PowerBait or a combination of worm and marshmallow are the most popular methods. There was no report on bass or crappie.
