LAKE MEAD: Boaters continue to enjoy success catching striped bass with the fish being taken in deep water with bait and from the surface with lures. Drifting baits several hundred yards off shore from Hemenway Harbor and Special Events Beach is catching stripers that weigh from 2 to 6 pounds. Stripers are also being caught from the A buoy to Black Island and at the tires at Las Vegas Bay Marina.

LAKE MOHAVE: Fair action for striped bass is continuing above Cottonwood Cove while the rainbow trout fishing is very good at Willow Beach. Boaters report catching stripers in the 14-inch range by trolling crank baits from the north power lines to Owl's Point. Large Rapala lures are being favored by trollers.

EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR: Pleasant weather and hot rainbow trout fishing continue to be the pattern at the Lincoln County state park. Power Bait, nightcrawlers, spinners and small Kastmaster lures are all catching fish.

ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR: Rainbow trout fishing is still good while the action continues to improve for largemouth bass. Last weekens a rainbow that measured 18 inches and weighed 2 1/2 pounds was pulled from the lake. The fishing for crappie has been slow.
