Fishing in Nevada

Nevada's desert lakes produce some of the West's best fishing. Lake Mead and Lake Mohave hold striped bass, largemouth, and rainbow trout. Pyramid Lake is legendary for Lahontan cutthroat trout that regularly exceed 10 pounds. Lake Tahoe spans the Nevada-California border with lake trout and rainbow trout in crystal clear water.
