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.
Impressions of Lake Mohave
Lake Mohave is a reservoir formed by Davis Dam on the Colorado River on the border between Nevada and Arizona in the United States. Named for Mohave Indians who formerly inhabited this region of the Colorado River valley. Lake Mohave extends about 67 miles along the valley of the Hoover Dam Davis Dam straddling southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona border. The lake is calm, it often appears as empty as the desert. The lake is located at an altitude of 647 feet (197 m) near Laughlin, Nevada, Searchlight, Nevada, Cottonwood Cove, Nevada, and Bullhead City, Arizona, about 67 miles downstream from Hoover Dam forms adjacent shoreline is part of the Lakes Area Recreation Mead National managed by the U.S. National Park. Water flowing leaves Lake Mohave flowing south to Lake Havasu. Although Lake Havsu more crowded and famous from Lake Mohave, but Lake Mohave is a lake, much larger deeper, and cleaner than Lake Havasu. Located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which includes Lake Mohave offers many things to do and places to go year-round. What is extensive so you can enjoy some of the services such as boaters, swimmers, add, and fishermen.
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.

Lake 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.

Lake Fork Trophy Bass Report 1-13-2011 – Lake Mohave
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.
