Lake Mohave History
Lake Mohave was created in 1951 following the construction of Davis Dam on the Colorado River southeast of Las Vegas. The 64 mile long reservoir is subject to fluctuating water levels and exchange flows. The upper 20 miles of the reservoir is cold year round due to deep-water releases from Hoover Dam. This section lies within the narrow walls of Black Canyon. The remainder of the reservoir is seasonally warm and more open with the widest section being Cottonwood Basin (4 miles). Lake Mohave is located within the Lake Mead Recreational Area and is administered by the National Park Service located in Boulder City. A detailed description of the Lake Mead Recreation Area can be found on the National Park Service web page at nps.gov/lame.

A Lake of Contrasts
Lake Mojave is an incongruity – blue, sparkling water in one of the driest regions of the continent. The waters of the Colorado derive from rain and snow melt in the high mountains of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. The river works its way through the canyon lands and finally reaches the sere, brown treeless landscape of Arizona and Nevada. The drought lands of these two states, even before human water withdrawals, demand more water from the river than they give – the evaporation off Lake Mead is greater than Nevada’s total legal water allotment. And yet we go boating on clear, blue shimmering water in the middle of the Great American Desert.

Read MoreLake Fork & Monticello Fishing Report 12-12-2010 – Lake Mohave
Fishing has been good at both Lake Fork and Lake Monticello the past couple of weeks. With the weather and water cooling off, I have been splitting trips between the two lakes. The action on Monticello has been best early on most days with Fork being the afternoon option of choice. Fish can still be caught early on Fork but the bite has been best for me when water temperatures are at their peak later in the day.

The weather has been frigid these past few days as Texas experienced a cold blast of snow, sleet, and ice in most areas of the state. I was able to escape the brunt of the storm as I headed south to begin pre-fishing for the FLW Ever-Start tournament at Choke Canyon. The weather here is not much warmer but definitely a bit more comfortable than at home. Right before I left we were catching some real nice bass on a variety of winter time baits and patterns on both Lake Fork and Monticello (power plant lake). Here are some tips that may help you if you are headed out to the lake to tackle a big winter time bass.

Read MoreCrazy Bear Lodge is Back – Lake Mohave
As the new owners and operators of Crazy Bear Lodge we would like to offer you our warmest greetings. After enduring a devastating fire that nearly swallowed the lodge whole, Crazy Bear is stronger than ever. We were very fortunate to escape without any damage, mostly in part to the fact the fire fighters were using the lodge as there home base to fight the enormous fire. This allowed the crews to fend of the fire from our infamous rock and save Crazy Bear for the next generation of fisherman. We allowed a couple years for the trees to recover and for the new growth to appear. The recovery has been incredible and therefore we are taking select groups for the 2011 summer season. Dedicated to the outdoors our team own 2 other fishing lodges in BC. In the fall you will find us on the banks of the Bulkley River battling wild steelhead (you can learn more about this operation here). The rest of the year we are attacking salmon and steelhead in the remote waters of the Queen Charlotte Islands (for more in click here)
