Boaters continue to enjoy fairly good fishing for striped bass on Lake Mead. Shore anglers are struggling to catch stripers but are having some luck for channel catfish.

Boaters the past week have caught stripers in the Vegas Arm area with top water lures. Most of the fish in that area weigh 1-2 pounds.

There have been recent reports of good fishing for small stripers in the vicinity of Special Events Beach. Anglers who were fishing at Kingman Wash last week had success for channel catfish. They reported to NDOW that the striper fishing is slow in that area of the lake.
