Nevada fishing report

■ Lake Mead — Most anglers are on the water overnight and in the early morning to avoid the heat. Hot striper boils can be reached from shore and boat. Black bass catches are being reported in shallow coves throughout all lake arms. Chatterbaits and flashy jigs are tempting 2-pound fish. South Cove anglers are having luck with crappie when using tube jigs.

■ Lake Mohave/willow Beach — Kayakers are finding stripers when trolling swimbaits south of the marina. Pier anglers are landing fish up to 9 pounds using live bait. Striper boils are picking up near Davis Dam and off the reservoir’s rocky points. Anchovies and chrome lures are popular baits. Bass are most abundant in coves with vegetation. Fish are hitting white and blue topwater lures.

■ Laughlin — Shore anglers and boaters are seeing increased striper bites. Anchovies, glide baits and topwater lures are landing fish, some as large as 10 pounds. Catfish are taking anchovies in marshy areas. Try hitting the water in the early morning or late evening to avoid heavy watercraft traffic.

■ Las Vegas urban ponds — Fishing has been slow because of extreme heat and high winds. Anglers are seeing bluegill at Lorenzi, Floyd Lamb and Boulder City ponds. Most fish are down low or in the shadows. They are taking night crawler pieces, mealworms and small flies. Catfish plants are on hold until late August.

■ Kirch Wildlife Management Area — Fishing has been good early in the day. All reservoirs are getting thick shoreline vegetation. Anglers fishing Cold Springs in the evenings are catching bass with topwater baits.

■ Eagle Valley Reservoir — Anglers are finding the cool mornings best for trout. Largemouth bass and crappies are hitting baits throughout the day. Bass are taking bright-colored topwater lures and root beercolored tubes. Patient anglers regularly are catching 1-pound bass, with a few landing fish as large as 4 pounds.

■ Echo Canyon Reservoir — Trout action is slowing, but anglers are finding crappies and bass near the reservoir’s center and along the rocks. Fly-fishers have had their best luck using brown Woolly Buggers and poppers. Aquatic vegetation is a problem for shore anglers, and water levels remain low.
