Crappie
Crappie fishing around Boulder City centers on Lake Mead. While not as plentiful as in some southern states, Mead does hold a population of crappie, and they can provide some exciting action. The best time to target them is during the spring spawn, when they move into shallower waters to reproduce. Look for submerged brush piles, flooded timber, and rocky coves in the Overton Arm and Las Vegas Bay areas. Use small jigs and minnows under a bobber, adjusting your depth until you find the fish. Be aware that Lake Mead's water levels can change rapidly, affecting the crappie's location. Checking recent lake level reports is a must. A local trick is to fish near the marinas, as the artificial structures often attract crappie. Don't forget your Nevada fishing license!
