Tap here for more information. Largemouth bass, striped bass, channel catfish, crappie and bluegill are found in both lakes Mead and Mohave. Rainbow trout can be found in Lake Mohave. They are released from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service hatchery at Willow Beach every Friday. Striped bass can be found at depths from 30 to 45 feet from April through early November. They move deeper (40 to 65 feet) from late November to March. Use frozen anchovies, Senkos or Rapala-styled minnowbaits. Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, shores or on the park's three fishing piers located at Hemenway Harbor on Lake Mead, and at Willow Beach and Katherine Landing on Lake Mohave. Fishing is not permitted in harbors or from marinas. Both Lake Mead and Lake Mohave are home to two endangered fish - the razorback sucker and bonytail chub. Please throw these fish back if you accidentally catch them, and report your catch to the National Park Service by calling 702-293-8950.
