Why are the stripers at Lake Mead so skinny compared to the ones at Willow Beach? I fished from shore at Mead for the past several months and caught stripers with big heads and skinny bellies. Fished the past week from shore at Willow and even the smaller stripers have big bellies and look super healthy. I realize they just started planting trout at Willow again but they aren't planting very many. Last Friday they only planted 500 trout and they estimate half of those are caught and removed by fisherman...not stripers. So that leaves only 250 trout which I doubt is enough to fatten up the large striper population at Willow. What causes the Willow Beach stripers to look so healthy?
