Nevada fishing report

■ Lake Mead — Black bass action has been hit and miss in Las Vegas Bay, the Overton Arm and near Temple Bar. Green pumpkin worms and craws are getting hit. Anglers targeting striped bass are reporting success in the early mornings with anchovies and shad plastics. Government Wash is an evening hot spot for catfish and bluegill. Anchovies are working well for cats and night crawlers for bluegill.

■ Lake Mohave/willow Beach — The striper bite is slow. Panther Martins and Powerbait are landing rainbow trout limits. Cooler water temperatures in the main reservoir are bringing stripers up into shallower water. Anglers are reporting boils near Katherine Landing. Jerkbaits, walking baits and topwater lures are popular choices. Dark-colored soft plastics and crankbaits are attracting black bass in weedy coves.

■ Laughlin — Three-pound stripers are taking anchovies from shoreline anglers near Big Bend State Recreation Area. Boaters throwing jerkbaits are tempting bigger fish. Seasonal trout plants have begun along the river, providing ample opportunities for shore anglers. Glitter Powerbait and night crawlers are the go-to trout baits.

■ Las Vegas urban ponds — Action has been slow, though catfish are taking night crawlers and stink baits. Bluegill action has been best in the late afternoons when the water temperature is warmest. They are taking night crawler pieces and mealworms. Persistent anglers have gotten bass out of Floyd Lamb using dark-colored jigs and plastics.

■ Kirch Wildlife

Management Area — Rainbow trout action is good, with fish taking dark lures and baits where permitted. Rainbow trout were planted in each of the large reservoirs. With waterfowl hunting season underway, you can bag ducks and fish.

■ Eagle Valley Reservoir — Rainbow, tiger and brown trout fishing is picking up. Anglers have reported good fishing with night crawlers, garlic Powerbait and Mepp’s spinners. Temperatures are dropping near freezing overnight, making the afternoon best for bass and crappies.

■ Echo Canyon Reservoir — Anglers have been catching trout with baits and lures. Try brown or olive Woolly Buggers, Powerbait and spinners. Bass and crappies are taking jigs later in the day. The reservoir is low, but vegetation is clearing from the shorelines.
