Rainbow Trout
While Las Vegas might not be the first place you think of for Rainbow Trout, the surrounding Spring Mountains and select stocked reservoirs offer surprisingly good fishing. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are the best times to target these fish, as water temperatures are more suitable. Look for stocked areas like Floyd Lamb Park or even venture up to higher elevation streams for a more secluded experience. A practical piece of local advice: PowerBait and small spinners are effective for stocked trout, while fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can be productive in the streams. Be aware that water levels in streams can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. The Rainbow Trout in these waters are typically stocked, providing a consistent opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to enjoy a day of fishing.
