I am just guessing (our regional folks may know more), but the population there has probably been pretty small and it is a large lake, creating pretty long odds of catching one. They often like areas that largemouth avoid (rock cobble etc.), which means you likely don’t fish their prime habitat. Rory Moqui;

I've been fishing Mohave since the late 70's and I've never seen a smallmouth in this lake....Nevada department of wildlife says they've always been there but I disagree. I've seen many cycles and changing dynamics on this lake but I can't believe the small mouths have always been there. could it be they just avoided my hook all these years?
