Lake Mead NRA is stocked with sport fish and has Large Mouth Bass, Striped Bass, 'Crappie', Blue Gill and sometimes Channel Catfish. Trout fishing is available only on the lower half of the NRA at Lake Mohave and on the Colorado at Katherine's Landing and the Cottonwodd Cove area and around Willow Beach.

Because Lake Mead is adjoined by both Arizona and Nevada, fishing licenses at Lake Mead are a matter of jurisdiction. The least complicated situation is when you fish from the shore. You must have a fishing license for the state from which you are fishing from. If you fish from a boat, you must have a fishing license from either Nevada or Arizona and a stamp from the other state. For those lucky enough to be under the age of fourteen, no license is required in either state. That's not all folks. If you are considering trout fishing, you will need a special stamp for that too.

Fishing licenses and stamps are available at available at most marinas and at bait and tackle shops around and on the way to the lake. No0te that fees are subject to change
