Crappie
Chasing crappie around Las Vegas might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the surrounding reservoirs offer surprisingly good opportunities. Look to places like Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. Spring and fall are prime times, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Successful anglers key in on submerged structure like brush piles and artificial reefs, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. A local tip: water clarity can fluctuate dramatically depending on rainfall and runoff, so always have a selection of lure colors to adapt. Also, be aware of the regulations for each specific body of water, as they can vary. The crappie here tend to be more opportunistic feeders, so minnows and small jigs are effective, but don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
