[font "Times New Roman"]It’s been a while since I have posted any comments on the Forum, so here goes. I moved here from northern Nevada a couple of years ago for health reasons. There I was able to enjoy fishing at several good spots like South Fork and Wildhorse with minimal effort. I had always hoped that when I retired, I would be able to enjoy fishing close-by to where I lived. I have found that fishing at Lake Mead or Mohave requires considerable effort especially since I don’t have a boat. Fishing in general here seems to be a major production.[/font][font "Times New Roman"]

[font "Times New Roman"]I am disappointed in the fishing at the city ponds where I try to take my grandson from time to time. We have fished from Floyd Lamb to Boulder City with very little success unless we happen to get there soon after a stocking, which is very unpredictable. I find it very un-sportsman-like for adults to take over their limit of fish from these ponds for their own use, instead of leaving them for the kids to catch. I would prefer these ponds to be “catch and release” to allow the kids to enjoy catching some fish![/font][font "Times New Roman"]

[font "Times New Roman"]I enjoy reading the “Forum” even when I don’t get out myself as it keeps my mind active with good memories, and I like to read about other peoples’ success. Lately however, the posts have not been very positive and the overall fishing condition seems to be poor. It amazes me for the size of Lake Mead, that the fishing is not better than it is. The fluctuating water level is definitely a problem especially during the spawn, however, I have fished in many lakes that are not as big as Lake Mead and yet I have had good success. Tournament fishing seems to be quite active --- both for bass and stripers --- and they must be having some success or they wouldn’t keep going. I recognize when Wolfs4evr and others are not even getting out and posting positive results, especially this time of year, then something is definitely wrong.[/font]

[font "Times New Roman"]I guess I don’t really have any solutions --- just some thoughts from a guy who retired here who like to fish! Thanks[/font]
