Fishing at Lake Mead in January 2025 - Expect Stripers, Bass, and More

from Lake Mead, Nevada Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI

For those planning to fish at Lake Mead, Nevada, on January 18, 2025, here’s what you can expect: **Weather and Conditions:** Today's weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F. Since Lake Mead is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal changes to worry about. **Sunrise and Sunset:** Sunrise is at 7:17 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, providing a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. **Fish Activity:** Striped bass are one of the most active species in Lake Mead right now. Anglers have been catching a significant number of stripers, particularly in the Overton Arm and the Vegas Bay area. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also active, especially near Echo Bay. **Types and Amounts of Fish Caught:** In the Overton Arm, groups have reported catching large numbers of striped bass, with some outings yielding up to 85 stripers, although only a portion are typically kept. The largest stripers are weighing in around 4 pounds. Largemouth bass up to 5 pounds have been caught near Cottonwood Cove. **Best Lures and Bait:** For striped bass, live shad or shad imitations are highly effective. Top-water lures and trolling have also proven productive. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, using bait near structure and cover, especially around Echo Bay, is recommended. PowerBait and spinners are good options for those targeting trout in the deeper areas. **Hot Spots:** - **Overton Arm:** Known for good top-water action for striped bass, especially near Stewart's Point. - **Vegas Bay:** Anglers are catching striped bass from Vegas Wash to Boxcar Cove. Trolling and using live shad here can be very productive. - **Hemenway Fishing Pier:** This spot is great for both shore and boat anglers, offering good access to various fish species. Remember to check the current fishing regulations and ensure you have any necessary licenses before you head out.
