Laughlin
Regular trout plants will continue as scheduled at Davis Camp but temporarily will be halted near Big Bend to protect native fish-spawning efforts. Work the river from Davis Camp through Casino Row for trout and striped bass. Swimbaits in trout patters will fool stripers. Catfish have been found in the marsh areas around Big Bend in the Colorado State Recreation Area.
Lake Mohave
Anglers are catching striped bass with anchovies from the shoreline in the Katherine Landing area. Boat fishers are finding good action in the deep water near Davis Dam. Willow Beach is scheduled for a trout plant Feb. 3. Trout anglers should find success with spinners, small spoons, night crawlers and prepared baits.
Lake Mead
The new moon will be up this weekend. Fishing will be best at sunrise and sunset, though stripers will hit anchovies at night. Water levels are variable and can make shore fishing unpredictable, especially at night.

Reports from the river are slow, but one young angler recently caught her first trout while using a PowerBait mouse tail. She brought her catch into Rusty’s Riviera Marina to show it off. Water levels are fluctuating, so anglers should be careful of their footing while working along the shoreline.
Lake Mohave
Striped bass fishing has been hit or miss, though shore anglers have found success with cut anchovies. Watch for birds feeding on baitfish, and the bass won’t be far behind. Check the weather conditions before you head out, and watch for heavy rain and high winds.
Lake Mead
Despite unsettled weather conditions, the north end of Boulder Basin has had fishermen talking. Anglers are finding good action for striped bass at the mouth of Government Wash. Stripers and black bass are taking baits near Callville Bay as well. The striped bass are taking anchovies near the bottom. Be mindful of windy conditions.

Anglers are catching trout at the stocking sites just below Davis Dam and from there beyond Casino Row. Various colors of PowerBait, night crawlers and spinners are catching the fish. Rainbow trout-imitating swimbaits are a good choice for striped bass. Chicken liver caught the attention of a 14-pound catfish brought in near Big Bend State Park.
Lake Mohave
Anglers have reported good fishing for striped bass on the south end of the reservoir. Anchovies and swim baits have been fooling stripers in the Telephone Cove area and beyond. Smallmouth bass have been taking plastics along shelves.
Lake Mead
Black bass action is hit or miss from Callville Bay to Government Wash. Coves with shore vegetation outside of Callville Bay are great places to find that catch of the day. Striper fishing on the west side from Government Wash to Boulder Beach has been good from boats, while shore fishing has been slow. Unsettled weather conditions are creating hazardous conditions. Be sure to check the weather before heading out. Conditions can change quickly on the water.the Laughlin, NV area
