Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Henderson, Nevada, is primarily focused on the stocked urban ponds and smaller reservoirs in the surrounding area. While Lake Mead is a dominant waterbody, it's not ideal for trout. Instead, look to places like Floyd Lamb Park or Veteran's Memorial Park for stocked trout opportunities, particularly during the cooler months. These stockings typically occur from fall through spring. A practical tip is to check the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) website for stocking schedules to know when the fish are freshest. Small spinners, PowerBait, and worms are effective baits in these smaller waters. Also, be mindful of fishing regulations and limits, as they can vary between locations. The trout are generally smaller, stocked fish, but they provide a fun and accessible fishing experience close to the city.
