[quote syncityangler][cool] Thanks for postin! I was just wondering; I hear people talking about that place, but where exactly is it? how far is it from Henderson? and do I need a boat? I would like to do some real trout fishing at a real lake/reservoir. ![[Image: fish-on.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/fish-on.gif)
thanx for any info[/quote]
Also, for the most part you can only shore fish the south end of each lake/marsh. The N/E/W sides are all marsh/willows, etc and not shore accessable. The lakes are not huge. IMO a kayak, float tube or small jon boat would be the ticket for boating. If I remember right they are all no wake lakes and some of them are electric power only. Camping is extremely primitive. You are out in the middle of nowhere. Flat, no wind protection, etc. The designated camping area is a fenced off area with the only couple of trees for miles. There is also a semi decent drive down gravel roads to get to the WKWM area. Get gas on the way there. There is several gas stations on the way. That way you have plenty to run about the lakes for a day or two and make it back to one of those gas stations on the way home. Have LOTS of bug spray... ie; mosquitos are BAD or can be depending on time of year.
At least what I remember from 3-4 years ago or so. We only fished Haymeadow and did really well. 40-50 Rainbows back then. (We didn't camp, we just did the way early and way late day drive/one day trip.) Powerbait, lures and fly fishing. Not a ton of area to fish when one is restricted to the "dam" side of each marsh. But enough area to get the job done. Been wanting to go back but in the big picture I am a little overboated for that area. I could dump in our boat if I really wanted to but on the big side verse size of lake. Plus I really have no desire to tow it down a ton of dirt roads and get all that dust all over the place. I don't have a cover for our boat and the last time there I couldn't even see out the rear window due to the amount of dirt covering the backside of my SUV from the dirt roads.
Also... There is some great trout fishing in Utah that requires one to drive less miles to get to. Bonus is that those lakes are up high 8000 foot plus and a great escape during the Vegas summer heat to retreat to [
