Catfish
While Nevada might not be the first place that comes to mind for catfish, Henderson offers some surprisingly good opportunities. Lake Mead, just a short drive away, is a prime destination for targeting channel and flathead catfish. Focus your efforts on the Overton Arm and Virgin River areas of the lake, where the water is often warmer and more productive. The best times to fish for catfish here are during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with the peak season being summer. Night fishing is particularly effective, as catfish are nocturnal feeders. A key local tip is to use scent attractants, such as dip baits or punch baits, to draw catfish in from a distance. Also, be aware that Lake Mead can experience strong winds, so check the weather forecast before heading out. Shore fishing access is available at various points around the lake, but a boat will significantly expand your fishing options.
