 Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year. Striped bass are being found largely by trolling. Main lake points would be a good spot to start until a school is found. Swimbaits in white color schemes and anchovies seem to be the crowd favorite when targeting striped bass. Anglers are also reporting success with different small jigs in white color schemes. Special Regulations: The limit is 20 striped bass: minimum of 20 inches, unlimited striped bass under 20 inches, 5 trout, and 15 crappie. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
