Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report 05/30/2025
Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Friday, May 30th, 2025.
The sun rose at 5:29 AM this morning, and you'll have plenty of daylight with sunset coming around 7:42 PM. Weather-wise, we're looking at clear skies with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s by afternoon and mild southwest winds at 5-10 mph - nearly perfect fishing conditions!
River conditions are running higher than normal due to spring runoff, especially in the upper reaches. Water clarity has been an issue with the snowmelt collecting silt, typically appearing brown after hot days and slightly better after cooler days.
The fishing action has been phenomenal this week! Striped bass are showing up consistently, especially during morning and evening hours. Anglers are landing stripers up to five pounds on cut anchovies and silver swimbaits. Jumpin' Minnows and Kastmasters have been particularly effective in deeper runs and along drop-offs.
Rainbow trout action remains strong thanks to recent heavy stocking. The dry fly fishing has really picked up, with the morning bite being especially productive. For those targeting brown trout in the upper sections, I recommend larger flies and lures - woolly buggers fished in slack water have been landing some trophy-sized fish.
Bass fishing continues to be excellent throughout the area. Artificial lures are producing consistent results, particularly during early morning and late afternoon when fish are most active.
Catfish activity has definitely increased in the lower reaches and backwaters. Cut bait, livers, and catfish nuggets have all been working well as drift baits and still baits.
Remember that spawning closures are in effect at Grizzly, Canyon, Castle, and Elk Creeks until June 1st - look for the signs where fishing is off-limits.
Hot spots to check out today: Lake Mead's Hemenway Harbor for nice stripers, Willow Beach for rainbow trout, and the coves around Boulder City for largemouth bass. Community Park and below Davis Dam are producing excellent striper action.
Use caution if wading due to higher water flows, and always check the latest regulations from the Colorado Division of Wildlife before heading out.
That's all for today's report. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and good luck out there! Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for daily updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
