Brown Trout
Targeting brown trout near Boulder City? Lake Mead is your primary destination. While not known as a premier brown trout fishery, dedicated anglers can find success by focusing on areas where the Colorado River flows into the lake. These cooler, oxygenated waters hold the most promise. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the browns become more active with the temperature changes. Look for rocky points and submerged structure that provide cover. A local tip: The water levels in Lake Mead can fluctuate dramatically, so check current conditions before you go and adjust your approach accordingly. Also, consider using crankbaits or jerkbaits that mimic the local forage fish. Remember to check Nevada fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
