Rainbow Trout
While Mesquite, Nevada, is known for its desert landscape, rainbow trout fishing can be found with a bit of travel. Your best bet is to head north into Utah to find stocked lakes and reservoirs. The nearest reliable options are a few hours away, so plan accordingly. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, as the water temperatures are ideal for trout activity. Look for areas with submerged structure or where streams enter the lakes. PowerBait and small spinners are popular choices for catching stocked rainbows. Check the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website for the latest stocking reports to find recently stocked waters. A practical tip: Be sure to bring a cooler to keep your catch fresh if you plan on keeping any. Also, be aware of the daily limits and size restrictions for the specific waters you're fishing. Rainbow trout in these stocked lakes typically range from 10-14 inches, offering a fun and accessible fishing experience.
