Colorado River Fishing Report - Stripers and Bass Biting in Winter Conditions

# Colorado River, Las Vegas Fishing Report – December 3rd, 2025

Well folks, Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning report from the Colorado River near Las Vegas. Winter fishing is officially in swing, and conditions are shaping up nicely for a productive day on the water.

**Weather & Conditions**

We're looking at cool desert conditions this December – a freeze warning was just issued through early this morning, so bundle up if you're heading out before dawn. Sunrise is around 6:45 AM, and you'll have until about 4:50 PM before sunset, giving us a solid eight hours of fishing light. The cool temperatures are actually working in our favor, pushing fish into more predictable patterns and increasing their feeding activity.

**What's Biting**

Reports coming in from local anglers show that stripers and largemouth bass are active right now. Crankbaits, live minnows, and finesse techniques are producing solid results. The cooler water temperatures have the fish keyed in and aggressive – this is prime time for winter stripers that are feeding heavily before the coldest months set in.

**Lures & Bait**

Bring your crankbaits in natural colors – they're working great. Live minnows are your best bet if you want to target larger stripers. If you're working finesse presentations, small soft plastics in white and natural shad patterns will get bites. Don't overlook swimbaits either; they've been consistently productive.

**Hot Spots**

Head to the main lake body near the Boulder Basin – deeper structure holds plenty of winter stripers. The areas around the old creek channels are holding good populations of bass. These deeper zones are where fish concentrate during cooler months.

**Final Thoughts**

Make sure you've got all your gear before you leave the dock – it's a cool morning out there. Thanks for tuning in to the Colorado River fishing report. Don't forget to subscribe for daily updates on conditions and bite reports.
