| 708.1 | Fishing in Vegas??? | AISVAX::VILCANS | | Thu May 05 1988 14:37 | 26 |
| This was my trip last July with frontend and backend weekends
in Vegas.
1) Sedona, Arizona -- Oak Creek Canyon, this is an outstanding place
to fish. It is a small creek that is loaded with trout. They are
very difficult to catch, but the scenic back drops make it worthwhile.
I recommend the Los Abrigados Hotel in Sedona, the creek is a short
walk.
2) Grand Canyon -- Colorado River, everyone will tell there are
no fish down there, but these trout look like tanks. Again, tough
to catch but worth the trip if you don't catch any thing. Stay at
Bright Angel Trail and hike down. Yes, this is a tough trip. Rod
and Reel had a recent article verifying that trout do exist down
there.
3) Zion National Park -- My brother and I did zero in on a few trout
in the creek.
4) Lake Powell -- The upper part of the Colorado, rent a boat and
spend the night in the Canyon. At night the fishing jumping can
actually keep you up with the noise bouncing off the 500 ft canyon
walls. Minimal trout, but more conventional Lake type fish. You can travel
light, its warm camping.

| 708.2 | Meade? | SALEM::RIEU | Who gets custody of Chuck Sullivan? | Thu May 05 1988 15:01 | 2 |
| If he's close to Vegas, how about Lake Meade? Is fishing
allowed there? Denny

| 708.3 | < Lake Meade, indeed!!!> | BUSY::WATT | | Thu May 05 1988 15:48 | 11 |
| Indeed, Lake Meade! It's close and it's supposed to be great fishing.
I've fished Lake Powell and places on the Colorado, and there's lots of
good fishing. I'd recommend a guide for Lake Meade because it includes
boat and services, and that lake is biggggg. Being an enpoundment of the
Colorado/Grand Canyon, it has deeeeeep water, as well as, warm water so it
accomodates everything from lake trout to ole bucketmouth. Some of the best
fishing I ever had was in Lake Powell about 150 miles further up the Colorado.
Hope you do have a good time there.

| Meade indeed.......what the Texican said about being big is no lie.
The lake has MORE shoreline than the entire West Coast of the US.
Thats BIG.....Ranger Ron

| 708.5 | Lake Mead Specs... | AISVAX::VILCANS | | Fri May 06 1988 11:50 | 9 |

Lake Mead is 115 miles long with 550 miles of shoreline at low
water and 822 miles when full. I'm sure people have caught fish
out of Lake Mead, but I'm not one of them. I found Lake Mead big,
hot, windy and dusty. Lake Powell, Sedona and the Grand Canyon section
of the Colorado are the real gems in this area. However, they do
require alot more driving than an hour jaunt to Lake Mead from Vegas.
