Largemouth Bass

Believe it or not, there are largemouth bass opportunities near North Las Vegas. While not a renowned bass fishing destination, the urban ponds and small lakes within the city and surrounding areas can provide some surprisingly good action. Floyd Lamb Park, also known as Tule Springs, features several ponds that are stocked with largemouth. These ponds offer easy access and are a great option for a quick fishing trip. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish, as the water temperatures are more moderate. In the heat of summer, the bass tend to seek deeper water and become less active. A local tip is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the crowds and the heat. Simple techniques like casting plastic worms or crankbaits along the shoreline can be effective. Largemouth in these urban ponds typically range from 1-3 pounds, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience.
