[font "Comic Sans MS"][#000080][size 4]FISHING REPORTS AND TIPS[/size][/#000080][/font]
[size 3][#0000ff]Current fishing trends and tips can be obtained by phone for all of the Colorado River and associated lakes. To access call (877) 246-3474 or (877) 2go fish. This is a really good service that can provide all kinds of good information like [/#0000ff][#ff0000]catch locations[/#ff0000][#0000ff], [/#0000ff][#008000]types of fish hitting[/#008000][#0000ff], [/#0000ff][#800040]types of bait they're hitting[/#800040][#0000ff], and [/#0000ff][#ff0080]time of day they're hitting[/#ff0080][#0000ff]. Pretty cool, eh? Warning....this service has a lengthy automated menu to go through. When making decisions, go the Arizona region (not Nevada) , then to the upper river report. This starts reporting at Lake Powell and goes down river to Lake Mead and Mohave. [/#0000ff][/size] [center][#000080][size 4](877) 246-3474 [/size][/#000080][/center]

[/size][font "Comic Sans MS"][#0000a0][size 4]LICENSES[/size][/#0000a0][/font][size 3]
[#800000]To fish within the states of Nevada or Arizona, you must carry with you a valid fishing license. If your license is for Arizona and you plan to fish from a boat or other craft on Lakes Mead, or on the shoreline of Nevada, then you must have a "use stamp" from Nevada (and vice-versa). [/#800000][/size]
[#800000][size 3]A trout stamp is required in addition to any other use stamps if you intend to catch and keep trout. You may purchase licenses from the concessionaire at the marinas or at local bait and tackle shops.[/size][/#800000][size 5]
[/size][font "Comic Sans MS"][#0000a0][size 4]TYPES OF FISH YOU CAN CATCH[/size][/#0000a0][/font][size 3]
[#800000]Largemouth bass, striped bass, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill are found in Lake Mead. Lake Mead has become famous for its striped bass with an occasional catch weighing in at over 40 pounds. Fishing for striped and largemouth bass is good throughout Lake Mead with crappie, blue gill, green sunfish, and catfish being more prevalent in the upper Overton Arm of the lake

The top-water bite has been fantastic when the wind is down. Later in the day bait fishing in deeper water has been producing excellent results.
