Fishing near Laughlin, NV

Laughlin sits in Clark County along the Colorado River, where Nevada meets Arizona in the Mojave Desert. The stretch of river below Davis Dam runs about 12 miles through and around the city, supporting a year-round multi-species fishery that's unusually accessible — anglers can fish from the riverwalk, casino areas, and several boat ramps. Striped bass are the marquee target, but smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, channel catfish, rainbow trout, bluegill, and redear sunfish all share these waters. Lake Mohave, reached via guides operating out of the area, extends the local fishing range considerably.
