357.1More water there than you'd believe...SUBPAC::CRONINTue Mar 08 1994 07:4115
    	Lake Mead is a short drive from Las Vegas.  You can rent anything
    from huge houseboats on down.  It has a healthy Striper population as
    well as other kinds of Bass.  It should be easy to find a guide in the
    area if that's what you want.  If I only had a few days to fish it I'd
    go for the guide, it's a -BIG- lake...  I think I remember ~900 miles
    of shoreline???...
    	There's also the Colorado River between Hoover Dam and Lake Havasu.
    I think the fresh water world record Striper came from the river
    somewhere in this area, although it may have been down below Havasu.
    There should also be some serious Trout in the river, but remember that
    this is -big- water also.
    	For info you could get in touch with the Las Vegas Chamber of
    Commerce.  I'm sure they'd be able to get you the info you need.

    Thanks for the info 
    
    Sounds good, I'll take your advice and try for a guide I suppose a
    local tackle shop would be a good place to start.
    
    I'll let you know what I catch
