  • Colorado River Fishing Report: Clear Water, Steady Flows, and Predictable Bites

    Colorado River Fishing Report: Clear Water, Steady Flows, and Predictable Bites
    Dec 5 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River, Las Vegas fishing report.

    Out on the Colorado below Hoover Dam and down through the Laughlin stretch, flows are steady and water clarity is running on the clear side, which makes light line and a natural presentation important. Mornings are cool and crisp with afternoons warming up nicely, so layers are the name of the game. Sunrise and sunset are tight feeding windows right now, and that low light is when the bite really comes alive.

    No real tide to worry about on this river, but the “fake tide” is the dam release: when flows bump up, you’ll see bass and stripers slide tighter to current breaks and seams. On the softer edges and back eddies, trout and panfish stay active most of the day, especially when the sun gets up and takes the chill off the surface. Stable weather and clear water are keeping fish spooky but predictable.

    Recent catches on this stretch have been a mixed bag: rainbow trout stocked in good numbers, schoolie striped bass with the occasional bigger line-sider, plus smallmouth and largemouth hanging tight to rock and brush. Anglers have been picking off decent counts of rainbows on light gear, with a handful of stripers per boat when folks find the schools, and bass numbers good but size-minded—more action than trophies most days. Catfish are still showing up for those soaking bait after dark.

    For lures, keep it simple and local. Small silver or gold Kastmasters, Rooster Tails, and Panther Martin–style spinners shine for trout in the fast runs. For bass, tie on 3–4 inch soft plastic swimbaits in shad or green pumpkin, Ned rigs, and small football jigs dragged slowly over rock. Stripers are chewing on white flukes, small swimbaits, and medium-diving shad crankbaits, especially when worked through current seams. If you’re bait fishing, go with nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, and PowerBait for trout; cut anchovy, sardine, or chicken liver for stripers and cats.

    A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar:
    - The tailwater section right below Hoover Dam, where the cold, oxygenated water keeps trout and stripers stacked around the deeper slots and rock breaks.
    - The casino stretch and coves around Laughlin/Bullhead, where dock lights and structure draw baitfish and, in turn, bass and stripers, especially in the low-light hours and into the evening.

    Fish slow, downsize your offerings, and let that clear water work for you instead of against you. If you can time it with a bump in flow and the first or last hour of light, you’re in the game.

  • Colorado River Winter Fishing Report: Stripers and Bass Biting Strong

    Colorado River Winter Fishing Report: Stripers and Bass Biting Strong
    Dec 4 2025
    Well folks, Artificial Lure here with your Thursday morning report from the Colorado River near Las Vegas. We're in the thick of winter fishing season, and conditions are shaping up nicely for a productive day on the water.

    **Weather & Conditions**

    Bundle up if you're heading out before dawn – we're looking at cool desert conditions with a freeze warning in effect through early morning. 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 working in our favor, pushing fish into more predictable patterns and increasing their feeding activity.

    **What's Biting**

    Stripers and largemouth bass are absolutely active right now. The cooler water temperatures have these fish keyed in and aggressive – this is prime time for winter stripers that are feeding heavily before the coldest months set in. Reports from local anglers show consistent action over the past few days, so we're expecting another solid day.

    **Lures & Bait**

    Bring your crankbaits in natural colors – they're working great. Live minnows are your best bet if you want to target those 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 throughout the week.

    **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, especially when you're fishing in the morning hours.

    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.

  • Colorado River & Lake Mead Fishing Report - December 2, 2025

    Colorado River & Lake Mead Fishing Report - December 2, 2025
    Dec 2 2025
    # Colorado River & Lake Mead Fishing Report – December 2, 2025

    Well folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report for the Colorado River and Lake Mead area around Las Vegas.

    **Current Conditions**

    We've got cool desert days in full swing here in December. Sunrise was around 6:47 AM and sunset's coming in around 4:55 PM, so you've got a decent window to get out on the water. We're sitting with a waxing crescent moon at 23% visibility, and visibility in the water is holding steady. It's a nice day to be out there – nothing too extreme weather-wise for the desert this time of year.

    **Fish Activity**

    The big news is that roaming schools of striped bass are active around Lake Mead right now. Winter fishing has these fish on the move, and they're definitely cooperating. Your major bite times are 3:10 AM to 5:10 AM and 3:34 PM to 5:34 PM. If you can't make those early morning or late afternoon sessions, don't worry – we've also got minor bite times at 10:58 AM to 12:58 PM and 8:10 PM to 10:10 PM. All of these windows are worth your time.

    **What to Use**

    For striped bass in these winter conditions, you'll want to focus on live bait like shad and herring – these fish are aggressive feeders right now. If you're throwing lures, work medium-sized swimbaits and crankbaits in the 3 to 5-inch range. White and silver patterns are your friend in these clear desert waters.

    **Hot Spots**

    I'd definitely recommend hitting **Las Vegas Bay** about 27 kilometers out – it's a productive area for striped bass schooling activity. Another solid choice is **Lake Mead Marina** at roughly 33 kilometers. Both of these spots have sheltered conditions that attract plenty of baitfish, which means where the bait is, the stripers won't be far behind.

  • Lake Mead Fishing Report - Crankbaits Shine, Stripers and Smallies Bite Strong

    Lake Mead Fishing Report - Crankbaits Shine, Stripers and Smallies Bite Strong
    Dec 1 2025
    # Lake Mead Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live from the Las Vegas fishing scene. Let me break down what's happening on the water today around Lake Mead and the Colorado River system.

    We're looking at a crisp December morning here in Nevada. Sunrise hit around 6:47 AM, and we've got sunset coming in at around 4:47 PM, so make your time count out there. The moon's in a waxing crescent phase, which typically means decent bite windows through midday and evening hours.

    **The Bite Report**

    Here's what's been working lately around Lake Mead. We've been seeing solid stripers and smallmouth bass action in the fall transition. Crankbaits have been absolutely shining in recent conditions—they're your go-to for stripers right now. If you're working the shallows, live minnows are producing well, and finesse techniques with soft plastics have been connecting too.

    The Lake Mead Marina area and Las Vegas Bay out to around 26 kilometers are your prime zones. If you're looking for something closer, Vegas Creek and Twin Lakes within just a few kilometers of the city limits are holding decent populations.

    **Hot Spots to Hit**

    I'd recommend heading to Boulder Harbor or Saddle Cove if you want structure and depth. Both areas consistently produce throughout the season. The Harbor Marina is your sheltered option if you want calmer conditions—those protected environments attract baitfish concentration.

    **Pro Tips**

    Get your gear prepped before you head out. Bring crankbaits in natural colors, stock some live minnows, and have finesse rigs ready. Water temps are cooling, so fish are more aggressive but also more selective about what they chase.

  • Late Fall Trout and Pike Bonanza on the Colorado River

    Late Fall Trout and Pike Bonanza on the Colorado River
    Nov 30 2025
    # Colorado River, Las Vegas Fishing Report – November 30, 2025

    Hey everyone, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Sunday morning fishing report for the Colorado River and the Las Vegas area.

    We're heading into late fall conditions, and things are really starting to heat up – or should I say, cool down – for some fantastic angling opportunities. The Colorado River system is showing some solid activity right now, and if you've got the time to get out on the water today, you're in for a treat.

    Let's talk what's biting. According to recent reports from the Colorado River fishing community, trophy trout and pike are seeing hot fall action right now. Late November is prime time for both species, and the cooler water temperatures have these fish feeding aggressively. You'll want to focus on deeper holes and structure where these predators are staging up.

    For lures, I'm recommending you bring a solid selection of spoons – they mimic natural forage and work fantastic in these conditions. Throw in some streamer patterns if you're fly fishing, and don't sleep on crankbaits that dive down to where the bigger fish are holding. If you're a live bait angler, shiners and crawfish are your go-to offerings right now.

    The lake levels across the system are running lower than we'd like – Lake Mead is sitting at 31 percent capacity and Lake Powell at 29 percent – so focus on the deeper channels and pools. You'll find concentrations of fish in these areas.

    For hot spots, I'd suggest hitting the areas near the major tributary confluences where water mixing creates feeding zones. The back coves and deeper pockets are holding fish right now as they avoid the shallows in this season.

    Get out there early, stay safe, and make every cast count. Thanks for tuning in to the Colorado River fishing report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates and reports.

  • Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report - November 29th

    Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report - November 29th
    Nov 29 2025
    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Saturday, November 29th.

    Let me give you the breakdown on conditions out there today. We're looking at surface temps holding steady in the mid-50s, which is perfect for our stripers right now. These guys have been absolutely the main show lately, and they're feeding aggressively in these cooler temperatures.

    Sun's coming up around sunrise this morning, and we've got good visibility at about 23% with a waxing crescent moon. Your best bite windows are going to be that major time from 3:10 to 5:10 in the morning—yeah, I know it's early, but trust me—and then you've got another major window from 3:34 to 5:34 in the afternoon. There are minor times scattered throughout the day too if you can't make those major windows.

    Here's what's been working: stripers have been crushing shad balls, so get yourself some live shad if you can find them. Throw topwater early and late, and don't sleep on your crankbaits and swimbaits that mimic that shad profile. If you're into artificials, go with white and silver—keep it natural looking.

    For hot spots, I'd recommend Lake Mead Marina area—it's about 32 kilometers from the Vegas strip and consistently productive. Also check out Las Vegas Bay, roughly 27 kilometers out. Both spots have been holding fish regularly.

    The Colorado River system is still managing decent water levels, so access is solid right now. Get out there early, work those shad balls, and you've got a real shot at some quality stripers today.

  • Colorado River Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and Catfish Await Near Las Vegas

    Colorado River Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, and Catfish Await Near Las Vegas
    Nov 28 2025
    # Colorado River, Las Vegas Fishing Report - November 28, 2025

    Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning fishing report for the Colorado River around Las Vegas.

    We're looking at a solid day on the water today. It's going to be partly sunny with temps climbing to around 80 degrees, with light north winds becoming southwest this afternoon. Sunrise was around 6:45 this morning, and we're looking at sunset right around 5:15 PM, so you've got a good eight-plus hours to work with out there.

    Now, let me give you the real talk about what's happening on the Colorado. The water level situation has been challenging lately—Lake Mead is sitting at about 32 percent capacity as of late November. That said, the fish are still out there and feeding. We've been seeing solid striper activity in the deeper pools, especially early morning and late afternoon when the light gets low. Largemouth bass are hanging around the structure—rock piles, submerged timber, and the deeper channels. Catfish have been cooperative too, particularly at dusk.

    For lures, I'd recommend working some crankbaits in natural colors for the stripers—think shad patterns. For bass, throw some soft plastics like creature baits and worms in the morning, then switch to topwater when the sun gets higher. If you're going after catfish, skip the fancy stuff and bring some cut mackerel or chicken liver—that's your bread and butter.

    Here's where I'd point you: Head out to the launch areas near Boulder Beach if you can access them—that's classic Colorado River territory with good depth and structure. If you're looking for another solid spot, check out the areas around the narrows where the river gets more confined. Current flow is better there and fish stack up.

    Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in to this fishing report, and please subscribe for daily updates on water conditions and fish activity around the Las Vegas area.
