Lake Mead Fishing

Fishing on Lake Mead is something you absolutely can't miss if you are in the Grand Canyon area or visiting Las Vegas. With miles and miles of shoreline, you will have incredible opportunities to make a trophy catch, likely the first day and every day thereafter. Make it a fishing adventure.

You will find Lake Mead to be the premier inland-water fishing spot in the west. It is the largest man-made body of water in North America. The public shoreline stretches 550 miles and there are reportedly over 10 million fish in the lake, just waiting to take your bait.

The favorite catch is the Striped Bass, a game fish that puts up a hard fight. You will be exhausted after pulling one of these in. But you can also go after the crappie, bluegill, sunfish and largemouth bass.

Slow your pace down and relax in the beautiful desert scenery with the backdrop of mountains and blue sky. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers much in the way of outdoor recreation and fun activities to keep you busy when you aren't fishing. Sightseeing is very enlightening as you see the many varieties of plant and animal life that make this region their home.

Catch a glimpse of Desert Bighorn Sheep, wild burros and coyotes. You might spot a bald eagle or see a ringtail cat.

But getting your line in the water is the best, and you could actually meet your limit of 20 Striped Bass in one single day of fishing.
