Fishing Government Wash Opening Day… Live Shad vs. Lake Mead Striped Bass

Описание: Government Wash is FINALLY REOPENED! 🎣 After being closed for 18 months for a massive $8.5 million rehabilitation and restoration project, we headed out on Opening Day (February 7, 2026) to see if the fishing at Government Wash is as good as we remembered.
The National Park Service closed this iconic Lake Mead spot back in August 2024 to tackle extreme environmental damage, illegal encampments, and over 12,000 pounds of trash. Now, with 51 new defined campsites, improved gravel roads, and restored shoreline access, Government Wash is back and better than ever for local anglers and campers!
In today’s episode of Fishin Money, we put the new boat access to the test. The Striped Bass were absolutely on fire! We spent the day catching tons of Stripers on live shad, and even managed to land two solid Carp. If you’ve been waiting for the gates to open to get back into the wash, this is the video you need to watch!
