Various

While not as widely known as some other fisheries, walleye can be found near Henderson, Nevada, primarily within Lake Mead. Targeting these fish requires a different approach than the bass fishing for which the lake is more famous. Walleye prefer deeper, cooler water, and often congregate around structure or drop-offs. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they move shallower to feed. A local tip is to focus on areas near the dam and along the Colorado River channel within the lake. Trolling with crankbaits or using jigging spoons are effective techniques. Pay close attention to your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as walleye are often nearby. The Echo Bay area provides good access and is known for walleye. Lake Mead walleye can be challenging to catch, but the reward is a delicious meal and the satisfaction of landing a less common species in the desert southwest.
