Rainbow Trout
While Boulder City isn't immediately known for trout fishing, a short drive can put you on some decent rainbow trout waters. The Colorado River below Hoover Dam, particularly near Willow Beach, is stocked regularly and offers good opportunities. The cold, clear water released from the dam creates a suitable environment for trout. Fishing is best during the cooler months, from fall through spring. PowerBait, small spinners, and flies are all effective. The trout here tend to be relatively small, but plentiful. Be mindful of the strong currents in the river and use appropriate weights to keep your bait or lure in the strike zone. Access to the river is good from Willow Beach, but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Check Nevada Department of Wildlife regulations for specific rules regarding the Colorado River.
