Late Fall Trout and Pike Bonanza on the Colorado River

# 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.
