Some of my favorites Some of my favorite southern Nevada places and activities are listed below. The list is completely subjective, of course. Developed marinas and launch sites provide easy access to most of the lake. Campgrounds are available at most marinas, and primitive shoreline camping is allowed outside of developed area. New entrance stations are now operating at most access points, with the exception of the Overton arm and undeveloped areas.
Fishing is usually good for largemouth bass, striped bass, sunfish and catfish.
Some trout are also stocked. Spring and fall are the prime months for fishing, but striped bass and sunfish are often caught during the dead of winter. All species can be caught during the summer, but activity often slows with the hot temperatures. The Lake Mead web site noted above offers a fishing report. Most of the lake is located in Nevada, but a portion extends into Arizona.
