NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Boaters have been enjoying success and many have told NDOW that they are catching limits of 20 stripers. The fish are deep and are being taken by trolling, jigging and drifting with anchovies. Most of the fishing activity continues to take place in the Las Vegas Wash area.

There have been reports of stripers up to 10 pounds breaking the lake's surface following last week's trout plant at North Saddle Cove. However, no anglers were seen pursuing the fish in that area. Jacob Lescenski, 6, of Las Vegas caught a 4 1/2-pound striper Saturday between Hemenway Harbor and Special Events Beach. He took the fish from shore with an anchovy.

Shore fishing has been good for stripers at Special Events in the morning hours. The beach is open to traffic from 6 a.m. to dusk.
