Fishing Report

Wednesday, May 14, 1997 | 11:59 a.m.

* LAKE MEAD -- Anglers continue to find fair action for striped bass and largemouth bass in the Boulder Basin and Overton Arm. Large threadfin shad are being netted at Hemenway Harbor and used for bait. This is somewhat unusual because shad typically do not appear along shore until June or July. Some of the better places for stripers have been Pumphouse Cove, the intake tower, Saddle Island and Boxcar Cove in the Boulder Basin. Fishing is also reported to be good at the Meat Hole in the Overton Arm. Largemouth bass continue to be taken from brush in coves. Coves toward the north end of the Overton Arm have been particularly productive for bass.

* LAKE MOHAVE -- Striped bass fishing continues to be fair for the few anglers who have been trying their luck. Largemouth bass fishing is also fair with fish weighing up to five pounds being taken. One angler had good luck over the weekend by using lead line to troll deep. He caught a number of two-pound stripers in the South Basin. Small stripers are still being caught in deep water around Cottonwood Cove. Very little action for stripers or trout is being found at Willow Beach.
