The problem with Lake Mead is there are way to many stripers. That why they have no limits on the smaller stripers. Willow beach stripers are very well feed. I don't know where your read the 250 trout being released in 2 spots because I have been out there for the release and they are releasing 500 at the hatchery and 500 at the kayak launch area. They also have crawdads, fingerling carp, shad, sunfish, and even smaller catfish to eat. Big fish are coming up stream, and the big fish can eat bigger food. Some guys are finding eating size cat fish in some of these stripers. Lake Mead also has a lot of food but there are a lot of fish going for it so the bait is out growing the prey. That's why people are catch 1-2 pound shad.
