When I moved to Vegas, Lake Mead was a rainbow trout trophy spot. It was normal to catch 18 inchers and above.
When they stocked the lake with striper to apparently attract more sports fishermen, it ruined the lake for trout fishing.
As far as stocking Mead with trout. I really don't care, I don't fish for trout in Mead. I take my trout fishing up north to Eagle, Cave or Illipah reservoirs. If I get an itch for trout locally, I go to Lamb or Willow. As for Sunnyside, I prefer the LM bass but will take a trout if he takes my lure.
