Just wanted to share something unusual i encounter at Lake Mead today. I was fishing this morning on shore never a cove and right beneath me came out a beaver swimming around right in front of me. Wow am I the first one to have seen a beaver at Lake Mead?!?! And no that big 50 lb rodent was definitely not an otter. Its was BIG and had a flat flapper tail!! Thats crazy I never knew beaver exist in Lake Mead??? I guess anything is possible in that Lake!!!

] )there's a decent population along the wetland trail that feeds into the LV Wash--I was shore fishing down there when the water was up, ventured way down to the waters edge through trees and boulders and ended up standing on a big mud pile that ended up being a beaver dam (watched him swim right under me into the mud pile). I scrambled outta there so fast. Did you ever see the video of that Swedish fisherman getting killed by the beaver?
