| Nevada Striper Fishing | |
Striper Fishing in Nevada While stripers are native to salt water, they naturally migrate into fresh water streams to spawn. Their eggs must remain in motion in order to hatch so the fresh water rivers and streams which drain into the ocean become the spawning grounds for stripers. Striper Fishing Lakes In Nevada Lake Mead, Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave are the striper fishing lakes in Nevada. The Colorado River below these lakes also offers striper fishing. Before the dams were built on the Colorado River, this was a natural spawning area for striped bass coming up from the Gulf of Mexico. The Nevada state record striped bass came from Lake Mohave. Striped Bass Fishing for Striped Bass in Nevada When fishing for stripers concentrate on the deeper waters in the lake. If you can locate schools of shad, stripers are often close by. When the baitfish are shallow over the deep water, you can catch stripers on crankbaits or by swimming spoons at appropriate depths. And for the ultimate thrill try large topwater baits if you see any surface feeding action. When the stripers are deep, jigs and jigging spoons work well. Live and cut bait will also take striped bass when they are in medium to deeper water. Fish nearby or in the river channel if it is a defined depth change. Trolling is also an excellent way to fish for stripers. Use flashy lures in bigger sizes.
