Not even in the upper portion of Mohave, like from 50 up to 64? I saw a massive trout that was pushing 3 pounds according to my trusty eyeball scale right in front of White Rock Canyon in early summer, just hovering in the shadow of my boat--I also launched a scout group at the base of the hoover dam who caught their only trout of their canoe trip between goldstrike canyon and the sauna cave.
Either way, the trout stamp is definitely just for those who make trips to local to catch stocked trout, if you aren't interested in sticking around those high-number areas, it really isn't worth the money--BUT! You have to realize that the money used for trout stamps, Colorado River stamps, AIS stickers, bumped up entrance fees, etc., aren't misused or filling the pockets of some investors. They really do keep all of our waters and surrounding land worth visiting.
And that trout program single-handedly makes Willow Beach the striper hot-spot that it is. Without it, that place will be just like any other bend in the Lower Colorado within a few months.
