# Colorado River Fishing Report - November 20, 2025

Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Colorado River fishing report for today, November 20th.

We're heading into prime late fall conditions on the Colorado, and things are heating up nicely. Water temperatures are sitting in the upper 60s to low 70s depending on which stretch you're hitting, which means the fish are still actively feeding before winter really sets in.

**Recent Activity**

The Colorado River near Bullhead City saw solid rainbow trout stocking just two days ago, with 1,000 fresh rainbows planted at the Community Park. Up at Willow Beach, they dropped 2,000 rainbows last week, so if you haven't gotten out there yet, now's your window. These stockies are hungry and aggressive right after planting.

**Best Techniques & Lures**

For targeting these recently stocked rainbows, spinnerbaits are absolutely crushing it right now—go with white and chartreuse patterns if you can. If you prefer soft plastics, paddle tail swimbaits in natural colors are producing solid strikes. Crankbaits and small swimbaits also work well around structure and deeper drop-offs. Live minnows under a popping cork remain a deadly presentation for trout in 2 to 3 feet of water.

**Hot Spots**

Hit the Bullhead City Community Park first—those fresh stockies haven't learned the ropes yet. Willow Beach Fishing Pier is your second stop, especially if you want to target deeper water with more established populations. Both locations offer excellent bank and wade access.

**Conditions**

Water clarity ranges from 3 to 4 feet depending on recent flows, which actually helps with both artificial and live bait presentations. Fishing is best on days with cloud coverage, so if today gets overcast, get out there.
