FISHING REPORT
■ LAKE MEAD -- Anglers in the Vegas Wash area are finding slow to fair success for stripers and catfish using anchovies. Anglers have caught largemouth and smallmouth bass in coves in the Vegas Wash and Overton arms. Fishing for stripers and catfish is fair to good near Echo Bay for those still-fishing or trolling with cut anchovies.

Trout fishing continues to be fair at Floyd Lamb and Sunset parks.
■ KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- Trout fishing has been fair when the weather cooperates. Anglers are using a variety of techniques to catch fish, including PowerBait, lures and flies. Bass fishing has been slow but should pick up as daytime temperatures warm.
