Questions people ask about Lake Mohave

Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Lake Mohave.

Is it worth fishing Lake Mohave today?
5 out of 10 — picky. Work for it. The strongest stretch is 9:03 AM–11:03 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level.
What time should you fish Lake Mohave?
Today's major windows run 9:03 AM–11:03 AM and 9:27 PM–11:27 PM, with minor windows at 1:58 AM–2:58 AM and 5:01 PM–6:01 PM. Sunrise is 6:05 AM and sunset 7:15 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
What is the water temperature at Lake Mohave?
No gauge on Lake Mohave measures water temperature. US reservoir gauges report height, not temperature — so rather than estimate it, this page leaves it out and leans on the windows and the pressure trend instead.
What is the water level at Lake Mohave right now?
642.87 ft, the reading for August 23 from the Lake Mohave Davis Dam and Powerplant gauge run by the USBR, which publishes one value a day. Over 24 hours it is down 0.05 ft.
Can you eat the fish you catch in Lake Mohave?
That is a health question and it belongs with the state, not with us. AZ publishes fish consumption advisories through its health or environmental agency, and those are the ones that count. We give no eating advice.
Do you need a licence to fish Lake Mohave?
Yes. A Arizona fishing license covers this water, required from age 10. AZGFD sets the rules and is the one that counts.

What a Arizona license costs, and who is exempt

Where these numbers come from

Read at Davis Dam by the Bureau of Reclamation once a day. The lake straddles the Arizona–Nevada line; the dam and the gauge sit in Arizona. No temperature sensor.

No one types these in by hand. If a source goes quiet, the page says so instead of showing you yesterday.
