* LAKE MOHAVE -- Striped bass fishing continues to be fair in the Cottonwood Cove area. Small stripers are being caught with anchovies at depths of 60 to 80 feet off the cliffs in the narrows above Cottonwood. The Willow Beach Hatchery is scheduled to plant 2,000 rainbow trout Thursday at Willow Beach.

* KIRCH WILDLIFE AREA -- Rainbow trout fishing is slow at Haymeadow and Cold Springs reservoirs, while the largemouth bass fishing has been fair at Haymeadow. On Monday an angler reported catching several bass while casting near the dam at Haymeadow. Small largemouth bass are still being caught at Adams-McGill Reservoir.

* EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR -- Anglers continue to reap the rewards from the large amount of trout that were stocked this spring by the Nevada Division of Wildlife. Those fishing at the lake report having good success for rainbow trout, while the fishing is more difficult for brown trout. Power Bait continues to be the preferred method for catching rainbows.

* ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR -- Rainbow trout fishing is only fair while the action for largemouth bass and crappie continues to be fair to good. Flies and small jigs are the best bet for crappie while artificial worms are catching the bass.

* SCHROEDER RESERVOIR -- Sporadic success is still being found for small rainbow trout in the lake. The better action for rainbows is being found in the stream below the reservoir.
