Fishing Report

* LAKE MEAD -- Anglers generally chose to stay away from the lake over the Memorial Day weekend because of the large volume of holiday visitors and boaters. Striped bass and largemouth bass fishing were good prior to the weekend. Both the Boulder Basin and Overton Arm were producing fish. Some of the better success for stripers has been taking place north of Boxcar Cove, Burro Point, the Hemenway Wall, Pumphouse Cove and Pyramid Island. There have also been reports of stripers being caught at the Meadows in the Overton Arm. Largemouth bass are still being pulled from brush in coves. Boaters are also finding them along sheer cliff walls.

* LAKE MOHAVE -- Trout and striped bass fishing have been slow at Willow Beach, despite last week's trout plants. Some stripers have been caught around the 43 mile marker.
