Went to lake mead, spent nearly the entire day verrrrry pretty, action pretty slow all over saw one guy with 3 stripers 2-3 lb range using live bait but other than that nada. caught some dink trout ~9" in boulder cove fished all up and down the shore line and had an overall great day on the lake and a good vacation to boot ;-D will be going again in the warmer months... i have a few cell pics of scenery... trout weren't worth picturing.... too small caught on mini jigs i still had left over that huck gave me @ silverwood (thanks huck you saved me from a skunk!)... did a decent amount of hiking so i didn't have my camera i'll post lake pics in the morning

Nice lake huh? Love those vistas and the weather must have been great. No signs of big stripers coming out?

Hope Eric took good care of you (I'm sure he did!).

nope, nada unfortunately most of the guys in tubes werent even having any luck... i was really mad i'd decided not to take my lures... made fishing up and down the beach nearly impossible.

yeah he's def the reason i landed in some spots with trout, unfortunately he couldn't get out there but we met up and hooked me up with come awesome flies .. i wanna gte out there this summer again and rent a boat

buncha carp at the las vegas arena... schoolie 2-3 lb stripers mooching off tourists popcorn.... saw one striper had to be in the 5lb range didnt get a pic.... water so clear off the docks you coul see catfish swimming about 30ft below the surface

i think that's called a woodland duck? idk looks like a mallard but grey with a red head instead of brown with a green

water levels look about 30ft low

gotta get the others from the lady
