Hi everyone my name is Steve. I'm from California and do some bait fishing in the San Joaquin River and a little lure type fishing in some of the mountain streams in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The reason I joined the forum is that my son who is 19 has recently taken an interest in this sport and I want teach him, but I have to know what I'm doing first. We want to go on a fishing trip to Nevada and I also need to gather some info before we do that.

Hi Steve! It all depends on where in NV you want to go and what type of fishing you want to do. Also - I'm no expert....I can tell you some things about the Colorado River out of Willow Beach and Cottonwood Cove. Not an expert on Lake Mead, just recently been exploring that area. I would suggest you post your question on the Nevada forum, as you would probably get a lot of great advice there. Linda

Welcome to the site Steve, I detached your reply on that other thread so you could have a seperate thread, less confusion that way. Anyway, here is a couple of links to the Cal board and Nev boards, I'm sure the guys can help you there. Please let us know if you have any questions about the site. WH2

I am new to Las Vegas and tried willows beach and cottonwood cove both. Had no luck. On Willows I could see the stripers holding behind structure and tree stumps, but could not intice them to bite. What suggestions could you give to a newbe to the area.
Thanks

Hello! We went out of Cottonwood Cove on Sat.....great day but no fish. Saw a bunch, but just wouldn't take the bait. Other people we saw caught some nice largemouth and stripers, just wasn't our day. Fishing should be picking up nicely, I hope, and I'm sure you do too! Lots of good advice on the Nevada forum, I would suggest you post there also. Seem to be a lot of nice people on this forum.....keep me informed on how it goes. Going to Willow beach next weekend....weather permitting, try, try again. Linda

Hi there Shansen & welcome to our membership. Residing in SoCal I like getting away from the crowds and take in fishing in the Eastern Sierras. Fishing the brooks, streams & weirs west of Bishop is my play ground. Good luck to you and your son.
