Rainbow trout action has improved as the reservoir has risen over the past couple of weeks. Rainbows are taking worms and a variety of PowerBait colors. Fly fishers have found good action with Woolly Buggers and Snow Cones.

LAKE MEAD 

Blass bass action is good. The fish are hitting drop-shot rigs and deep-diving crankbaits. Stripers are taking anchovies from shore in the Government Wash area and outside of Hemenway Harbor. Shad and trout pattern swimbaits also are catching the fish. Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm. Anglers are tying on chartreuse jigs and tubes.

Lake Mohave is producing double-digit stripers. Stripers are taking anchovies and jointed rainbow swimbaits. Anglers are bringing in a few rainbows below Willow Beach on PowerBait, worms, and Rooster Tails. Black bass continue to spawn in coves. Smallmouth are taking plastics and jigs in coves with vegetation.
