Fishing in Las Vegas

Posted by Mark Clawson

There are four ponds at Floyd Lamb Park and they are fed by a combination of wells and artesian wells. The park used to be operated by the State, however, it was handed over to the City of Las Vegas in July of 2007. Only the largest uppermost pond is stocked with game fish. Fishing season is all year long and the limit on your catch is three game fish. You will need a Nevada fishing license.

The Pond is stocked weekly with rainbow trout from November until March, and with channel catfish at least monthly from April through October. The Pond has produced some trophy sized fish. A 20 pound channel catfish that measured 28.5 inches was caught in 1996.

They say that small spinners, still baits such as salmon eggs, and fly fishing all seem to work for the rainbow trout.
