LAKE MOHAVE bronzeback.

Updated March 11, 2026

LAKE MEAD — Jerkbaits and other shad imitators are picking up largemouth in coves and rocky areas. Topwater, crankbaits, drop-shots and swimjigs are also getting a few. Worthy areas include Las Vegas Bay, Callville and Overton along with countless coves. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission approved the following out-of-cycle fishing regulation changes for Lake Mead and Lake Mohave: Change the daily bag limit to unlimited striped bass; Change the daily bag limit to 25 catfish. These changes apply to both Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. 

LAKE MOHAVE/WILLOW BEACH — Mike Huseman of River King Outdoors told WON “Lake Mohave smallmouth have started to move shallow with a (very) few on beds. Last full moon did not set them off. There has been lots of wind, keeping a lot of anglers off the water so these fish have not been pressured much. Water temps are rising and we saw water temps as high as 63, and next week air temperatures look to hit 95 and even 100 and this should really set off the spawn and more fish moving shallow. Lots of big fish are being caught right now as these pre-spawners are eating everything in sight and gerting ready to move up on beds. Finesse baits fished ultra slow is the way to go. Water clarity is very clear even for Lake Mohave standards. Many of our clients broke their PB’s over the past two weeks days. We are also sporadically seeing striped bass and those are being caught on hair jigs in deep water.
