    Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Update May 18, 2025
    May 18 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Sunday, May 18th, 2025.

    The sun rose at 5:32 AM today and will set around 7:36 PM, giving us a beautiful long day for fishing. Weather's looking mighty fine with temperatures expected to reach about 82°F with clear skies and light winds from the southwest at 5-8 mph - perfect conditions for a day on the water!

    Water levels on the Colorado are holding steady compared to last week. Current flow is running a bit higher than we saw in early May, similar to the 238 cubic-feet-per-second we reported on the Pecos last week. This increased flow has stirred up some good action for anglers working the river channels.

    Rainbow trout fishing has been excellent following the recent stockings. Storrie Lake near Las Vegas received over 4,000 catchable-size rainbows on May 6th, plus an additional 450 larger rainbows averaging 16.5 inches on May 7th. These fish are hungry and hitting well on small spinners, especially gold and silver patterns. For bait fishermen, salmon eggs and PowerBait in bright colors have been very productive.

    Largemouth bass activity is picking up nicely as we move deeper into spring. They're starting to move closer to shorelines for pre-spawn activity. Plastic worms in watermelon and pumpkin colors rigged Texas-style have been working well, especially during early morning and evening hours.

    Catfish action is heating up too, particularly in the backwaters and coves. Cut bait and chicken liver have been the go-to choices, with most success coming after sunset.

    For those willing to make the short drive, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave are showing good action for smallmouth bass and crappie. The smallies are hitting crayfish-pattern crankbaits and drop-shot rigs with finesse worms.

    Hot spots this week include the area just below Hoover Dam, where cooler waters are holding some nice trout. The Government Wash area of Lake Mead is producing some quality largemouth. For shore anglers, the fishing pier at Hemenway Harbor has been consistently good for stripers.

    Don't forget your polarized sunglasses and plenty of water - it's getting warmer out there! Also, I've noticed fish are hitting more aggressively on tackle with a bit of flash, so add some shine to whatever you're throwing.

    That's your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Sunday, May 18th. Until next time, keep your line tight and your hook sharp. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and good fishing to you all!

    Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report 051725
    May 17 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Saturday, May 17th, 2025.

    The sun rose at approximately 6:20 AM and will set around 7:10 PM today, giving you plenty of daylight hours for fishing. Weather conditions are favorable with temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s, with light breezes from the southwest at 5-10 mph.

    Water conditions have stabilized somewhat since our last report. The Colorado River flow is running at approximately 2900-3000 CFS below Glenwood Springs, similar to what we saw earlier this month. Water clarity has improved following some cooler days, though you might still encounter some brown water after particularly hot afternoons.

    The fishing has been excellent this past week! Stripers and bass have been biting strong, especially in the early morning and late afternoon hours. The annual caddis hatch is in full swing now, joining the blue winged olives and midges that have been present throughout spring. Some anglers have also reported seeing small green drake and PMD nymphs becoming more active.

    For those targeting trout, remember that spawning closures remain in effect at Grizzly, Canyon, Castle, and Elk Creeks until June 1st. However, these are just small portions of the greater river, leaving plenty of accessible fishing spots.

    Hot spots for today include the areas below Lake Mead, where striped bass have been particularly active, and the stretches near Las Vegas Wash, which has been productive for largemouth bass. Lake Mohave has also been yielding good catches for those willing to make the trip.

    Lure recommendations? Caddis patterns are working extremely well right now - both dry flies and emerger patterns. For conventional gear, small spinners in silver and gold have been effective in the morning hours, while darker-colored crankbaits have been producing in the afternoon. If you're after catfish, chicken liver and prepared stink baits are your best bet.

    For live bait enthusiasts, nightcrawlers and minnows remain reliable choices for multiple species. The stripers have been responding well to anchovies and cut bait.

    In nearby waters, Storrie Lake was recently stocked with over 4,500 rainbow trout, including some trophy-sized fish averaging 16.5 inches. That's a great option if you're looking to mix up your fishing locations this weekend.

    Remember to stay hydrated out there as temperatures climb, and as always, tight lines and good fishing!

    This is Artificial Lure, signing off until tomorrow's report. See you on the water!

    Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report - May 16, 2025
    May 16 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Friday, May 16th, 2025. We're well into spring now, and I've got all the latest info to help you make the most of your day on the water.

    The sun rose at 6:20 AM and will set around 7:08 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to land that big catch. Weather today is looking favorable with clear skies and temperatures reaching the low 80s, with a light breeze from the southwest around 5-10 mph - perfect fishing conditions!

    Fishing activity has been strong this past week, especially for stripers and bass. The water temperature is in that sweet spot that's got the fish really active. Based on recent reports, anglers have been having great success with stripers, largemouth bass, and rainbow trout in various sections of the river.

    For those targeting stripers, they've been hitting strong since mid-week. If you're after bass, they're also biting well in the shallower areas, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

    Lure selection has been key to success. For stripers, try using deep-diving crankbaits or swimbaits that mimic their natural prey. Topwater lures have been working well in the early morning for bass. If you're more of a bait fisher, nightcrawlers and cut bait have been producing good results for catfish.

    Rainbow trout are also available, especially in the stocked areas. Light tackle with small spinners or PowerBait has been the go-to for many successful anglers this week.

    For hot spots, I highly recommend the areas around Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. The inlets have been particularly productive. Also, the section of the Colorado near the Pecos River junction has been yielding good catches of rainbow and brown trout.

    One important note: Rainbow trout are currently spawning. Please be responsible and avoid fishing in the clearly marked "NO FISH ZONES" to protect our future fish populations.

    For those looking to get out on the water this weekend, I suggest heading out early to capitalize on the morning bite. The fish have been most active before the heat of the day sets in.

    Remember to check your licenses and limits before heading out. Water levels have been fluctuating, so be careful when wading.

    That's your fishing report for today, May 16th, 2025. Get out there and enjoy the great fishing opportunities the Colorado River has to offer! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow.
