Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report - Stripers, Trout, and Bass Biting Strong
Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Sunday, May 25th, 2025.
The sun rose about 6:18 AM this morning and will set around 7:15 PM tonight, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get out on the water. Weather today is looking favorable with mild temperatures, perfect for a full day of fishing.
I'm excited to share that fishing conditions along the Colorado River are absolutely stellar right now! We're seeing some of the best action of the spring season. Over the past week, the trout, stripers, and bass have all been biting strong, with activity heating up considerably since mid-May.
Striper action has been particularly hot near the dam areas, with anglers reporting multiple catches using anchovies and cut bait. These fighters are providing some real excitement, especially in the early morning hours. Bass fishing has picked up significantly as well, with largemouth hitting spinnerbaits and soft plastics near structure.
For trout enthusiasts, the fishing remains productive despite the changing water conditions. The Colorado is running at about 2640 CFS below Glenwood Springs with varying clarity - typically brown after hot days but slightly better following cooler periods. Blue winged olive patterns, caddis imitations, and small green drake nymphs are all producing results. If you're fly fishing, guides are moving away from smaller patterns and switching to stonefly and caddis rigs as we head toward summer.
Hot spots to try today include the areas just below Hoover Dam for stripers, Willow Beach for a mix of trout and bass, and Lake Mohave for some excellent smallmouth action. Just remember that annual spawning closures are still in effect at several creek mouths until June 1st - you'll see the signs where fishing is off limits.
Bait recommendations: For trout, try PowerBait in chartreuse or salmon peach colors. For stripers, anchovies or chicken liver have been working wonders. Bass are hitting on watermelon-colored soft plastics and chartreuse spinnerbaits.
Lure suggestions: Medium diving crankbaits in shad patterns have been productive for stripers. For bass, try Texas-rigged worms in the morning and switch to topwater as the day heats up.
The tides aren't a factor on our section of the Colorado, but water releases from the dam can affect fishing conditions, so check the latest flow reports before heading out.
Folks, this is prime time on the Colorado River. With the excellent bite we're experiencing, don't miss your chance to get out there today. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and good luck!
