 Las Vegas Fishing Information
Remember, to fish in Nevada or Arizona, you must carry with you a valid
fishing license. If your license is for Arizona, and you plan to fish from a
boat or other craft on Lakes Mead and Mohave, or on the shoreline of Nevada,
then you must have a "use stamp" from Nevada (and vice-versa).
|

A trout stamp is required in addition to any other use stamps if you intend to
catch and keep trout. You may purchase licenses from the concessioner at the
marinas or at local bait and tackle shops.
Largemouth bass, striped bass, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill are found
in both Lakes Mead and Mohave. Rainbow trout can be found in Lake Mohave.
Fishermen go for the big trout at Willow Beach, while Cottonwood Cove and
Katherine offer great bass and trout fishing.
Lake Mead has become famous for its striped bass with an occasional catch
weighing in at over 40 pounds. Fishing for striped and largemouth bass is good
throughout Lake Mead with crappie, blue gill, green sunfish, and catfish being
more prevalent in the upper Overton Arm of the lake. |
- Each person may use only one combination of hook, line and rod at one
time.
- No more than three baited hooks or fly hooks or two lures or plugs may
be used at any one time or on a single line.
- The fishing line must be closely attended.
Several protected species of fish are found in the Colorado River System.
Two of these, the razorback sucker and bonytail chub, may be found in the
lakes. If these fish are caught, they should be returned to the water.
Please report the catch to the National Park Service Resource Management
office at (702) 293-8950.
