FISHING REPORT

• LAKE MEAD -- Anglers have been catching stripers and catfish with anchovies and live shad along the beaches south of Boulder Beach and south of Hemenway Harbor. Fishing is best in the morning, when the shad are close to shore.

The Vegas Wash has been producing stripers but at a slower rate.

• LAKE MOHAVE -- Fishing at Cottonwood Cove is poor. The local anglers who regularly visit are stumped, and with current weather conditions likely to continue, fishing conditions are not expected to change in the short term.

• URBAN PONDS -- All urban ponds in Clark County were stocked with rainbow trout Tuesday. For Veterans Memorial Park in Boulder City and Floyd Lamb Park in Las Vegas, this was the third week in a row. The Nevada Department of Wildlife's plans call for the resumption of its every-other-week stocking schedule.

You must have a Nevada fishing license with a trout stamp to fish for trout. The limit is three fish.

• KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA -- Open water on Dacey Reservoir continues to provide fishing opportunities for anglers with float tubes.

All other reservoirs are reported frozen, though conditions are dicey. The ice is thick enough to walk on in only a few locations. Use caution.

• EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- Ice fishing has been excellent for rainbows, browns and tiger trout up to 13 inches in length. Productive baits have been PowerBait and worms.

• ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- Anglers are able to venture onto the ice to try to catch rainbow trout. The NDOW urges caution while ice fishing, as conditions can change unexpectedly.
