[/url]COMINS LAKE [indent]
The lake is covered with ice which is melting rapidly because daytime temperatures have been in the high 50s. There could be open water within a week and, depending on the weather, the White Pine County reservoir could be free of ice in fewer than two weeks. [/indent]
[#990033][/url]EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR [/#990033] [indent]
The water clarity has improved and anglers are having fair luck from shore and boats for rainbow trout.[/indent]
[#990033][/url]ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR[/#990033] [indent]
Fishing has been fair for rainbow trout and slow for largemouth bass and crappie. [/indent]
[#990033][/url]LAKE MEAD[/#990033] [indent]
Winter fishing has been surprisingly good at the lake, even though this is typically the slowest period of the year for striped bass and other warm water game fish. Boaters putting in the effort are catching stripers, including some fairly large fish.
Anglers competing in a striped bass fishing tournament held over the weekend had fair success and managed to reel in a nine-pound striper along with two that weighed seven pounds. Most of the action for stripers is from Sand Island to the back of Las Vegas Wash. A few stripers have been caught recently with anchovies near the tires at Lake Mead Marina.
Anglers fishing in the Overton Arm over the weekend told Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) creel census clerks that they had some luck for stripers in back of Fish Island and at St. Thomas. A shore angler had good luck for 18- to 19-inch stripers over the weekend while fishing with anchovies to the right of the houseboat dock at Echo Bay Marina. Small stripers are being caught at the tires at Overton Beach Marina.
Largemouth bass fishing has been fair for boaters fishing for bass released from the fishing tournaments.
Rainbow trout are being caught after the weekly plants. The final trout plants of the winter season will be held Friday (3/18/05) at Hemenway, Horsepower, North Saddle and
Pumphouse coves. [/indent]
[#990033][/url]LAKE MOHAVE[/#990033] [indent]
Fishing is still slow except for rainbow trout caught after the plants at Willow Beach. This week’s plant will take place on Friday morning (3/18/05) and will consist of fish from Willow Beach Hatchery. NDOW has wrapped up its winter plants at Willow Beach.
Slow fishing and strong winds were found early this week at Cottonwood Cove, so there was very little fishing activity. NDOW will be stocking rainbow trout Friday at Aztec Wash. [/indent]
[#990033][/url]WAYNE E. KIRCH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA[/#990033] [indent]
Some of the year’s best fishing is now taking place at the management area. Some particularly impressive rainbow trout have been caught at Adams-McGill Reservoir, according to John Hutchings, NDOW biologist.
A pair of anglers fishing at the lake over the weekend told Hutchings that they caught and released 60 trout, many of which were one-and-a-half to two pounds. They also reported catching several rainbows that weighed around five pounds. The fish were caught with small spinners.
Fishing has been fairly good for rainbow trout at Cold Springs and Haymeadow reservoirs. NDOW will conduct its first trout plants of the year at the lakes in late March. [/indent]
[#990033][/url]URBAN PONDS[/#990033] [indent]
NDOW’s final trout plant of the winter season will be held Friday (3/18/05) in ponds at Floyd Lamb State Park, Lorenzi Park and Sunset Park in Las Vegas and Veterans Memorial Park in Boulder City. Channel catfish will again be stocked at the ponds during the summer months. [/indent][/indent]
