Fishing Piers in Las Vegas

3 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing piers are among the easiest ways to get on the water without a boat - a stable platform out over the surf or a bay, often with railings, benches, lights for night fishing and a bait shop nearby. Many public piers are free to walk and fish, while some municipal and private piers charge a modest daily fishing fee, and a state saltwater or freshwater license may still be required depending on the pier and state. They are a favorite for families and beginners because the access is simple and you can catch a real variety of species right from the deck. The listings here help you find piers by city and state, with what to expect on arrival.

FAQ

Fishing Piers in Las Vegas - common questions

How many fishing piers are there in Las Vegas? +
Lure Compass lists 3 listings for fishing piers in Las Vegas, NV.
Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Las Vegas? +
By Google review volume, Government Wash is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Las Vegas (4.3★, 139 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Do you need a license to fish off a pier? +
It depends on the pier and the state. Some public piers operate under a blanket license that covers everyone fishing from them, while at others each angler needs their own state license. Check the pier operator or your state wildlife agency for the specific rule before you fish.
Are fishing piers free? +
Many public piers are free to fish, but some municipal and privately run piers charge a daily fishing fee, and there may be a separate parking cost. Fees, hours and any license requirement vary by location - confirm with the pier before you go.
What can you catch from a fishing pier? +
That varies by region and season, and pier regulars are usually happy to share what is biting. Reviews and listings here can point you to well-reviewed piers by city and state, but the pier operator or a nearby bait shop is your best source for current conditions and what is running.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Las Vegas? +
A guided trip on Lake Mead or Lake Mohave typically runs $350-$600. A half-day trip sits at the lower end and a full day higher, with the rate covering the boat for one or two anglers rather than charged per person. Bait and tackle are often included. Confirm the total price and what is provided with the guide when booking.
What fish can you catch near Las Vegas? +
Lake Mead and Lake Mohave hold striped bass, largemouth bass and catfish, with stripers the main draw - from schooling fish to trophy-class specimens. The cold Colorado River below Hoover Dam also holds trout for a different style of trip.
When is striped bass fishing best near Las Vegas? +
Stripers can be caught year-round, but spring and fall often produce the most exciting surface action as schools chase shad and boil on top. Summer fishing is strong early and late in the day, and winter fish hold deeper where electronics help locate them.
Do I need a license to fish Lake Mead or Lake Mohave? +
Yes. Because these waters straddle the Nevada-Arizona border, license requirements depend on where you fish, and a guide will advise which state license or reciprocal endorsement you need. Guides typically supply the boat, bait and tackle for the trip.
