  • Bite's on for Stripers, Bass, and Cats on the Vegas Stretch of the Colorado
    Artificial Lure here with your October 12th Colorado River fishing report for the Las Vegas stretch, hooking you up with the details only a local knows.Let’s start with today’s **weather**: it’s a classic fall morning—cool and mild with calm winds, mid-50s at dawn and pushing to the low 70s by mid-afternoon. Skies are mostly clear. Sunrise comes in right at 6:42 AM, with sunset around 6:13 PM. That gives you a prime window for early and late bites.**Water Conditions:** The river level is steady, but keep in mind that Lake Mead—a vital part of this system—still deals with lower pool levels, so launching is smooth at most spots but watch for shallow shelves closer to shore. Water clarity’s good, with surface temperatures running in the upper 60s.On the **fish front**, local anglers have been striking gold with stripers, largemouth bass, and catfish this past week. Lake Mead Marina reported stripers pushing 3 to 5 pounds, perfect for light-tackle action before breakfast. Bass are riding that fall transition, stacking up around rocks and deeper ledges. Fish activity peaks right around sunrise and again at dusk, especially as cooling temps concentrate baitfish into tighter schools.Recent catch logs point to a mixed bag:- **Striped bass**: Most common. Steady numbers on cut anchovy and shad. Early birds landed limits near Willow Beach and Echo Bay, using Carolina rigs and castable swimbaits.- **Largemouth bass**: Smaller numbers, but several quality fish landed on jigs and crankbaits along drop-offs and rocky points.- **Channel catfish**: Nighttime action held strong on stink baits and chicken liver near tailwater stretches.**Baits and lures:** If you’re chasing stripers, anchovy chunks or shad are top picks, especially in the deeper channels. For artificials, white or chartreuse soft swimbaits and small lipless crankbaits have put in work, particularly during low-light periods. Bass anglers are swinging football jigs in green pumpkin and craw patterns, with squarebill crankbaits getting slammed around riprap banks. If you’re working soft plastics, go natural for these clear waters—think watermelon or smoke. Catfish are hammering chicken liver and commercial stink baits along the slackwater eddies.**Best techniques:** - Drift fishing with cut bait for stripers in deep runs.- Tight-line jigging near submerged brush for bass.- Set-and-wait for cats after sundown under the bridges.**Hot spots** for today:- **Willow Beach**: Stripers are cruising the marina near the cold water discharge. Toss a swimbait at first light for a shot at a keeper.- **Eldorado Canyon**: Rock piles and submerged wood are stacked with both bass and a few cruising stripers. Work your way up from the mouth with slow retrieves.- **Las Vegas Bay**: A popular spot for night-time catfish and bonus bass—dead-stick a chicken liver from shore or anchor up close and cast toward drop-offs.No real tidal swing like you’d see on the coast, but water releases from the dam do create moving current throughout the day, which means fish will be more active when the water’s running. Keep an eye on those flow schedules if you’re planning to anchor up for stripers.Remember, fall on the Colorado River means fish are feeding up for winter, so don’t be afraid to bump up the size on your bait and lures. The big ones are getting greedy.Thanks for tuning in—subscribe so you don’t miss the next drop of local action.

  • Fishing the Drought-Stricken Colorado River: Lures, Tactics, and Hot Spots
    Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing around the Colorado River and Las Vegas. As of today, fishing conditions are looking decent, despite the ongoing drought affecting the region. The Colorado River Basin is experiencing severe drought, with water levels in reservoirs like Lake Mead a major concern. However, the recent rainfall in the Southwest has helped alleviate some of these issues, bringing cooler temperatures and reducing the fire risk.For fishing, the best spots are around the mid-to-lower sections of the Colorado River. Anglers have reported success with striped bass and largemouth bass using lures like vibrating jigs and soft plastics. The lack of tidal influence means you'll want to focus on structural elements like rocky outcroppings and weed beds. Look for areas with decent cover and drop-offs to increase your chances.Hot spots include the area just below the Hoover Dam and the Colorado River's stretch near Laughlin. Sunrise today is around 6:30 AM, and sunset is at 6:00 PM. The weather is mild, with highs in the mid-70s to low 80s, perfect for a day on the water.Thanks for tuning in, guys Don't forget to subscribe.

  • Lively Fall Bite on the Colorado River Near Las Vegas
    Artificial Lure here, reporting from the banks of the Colorado River near Las Vegas on this crisp Friday, October 10th, 2025.Las Vegas woke up to a stretch of **clear skies and mild temperatures** today, with cooler-than-average days lingering after last week’s heavy rains. According to the local drought update, these showers have improved streamflow and water clarity, making conditions ideal for anglers across the Colorado River corridor. Expect a high near 76°F and light breezes for most of the day.**Sunrise hit at 6:44 AM and sunset’s coming at 6:16 PM**, giving you a long window to work all the hot spots. With the full moon just having passed, tidal influence is less dramatic here than out West, but nocturnal and early morning activity is still up—cats, stripers, and bass feeding along deeper drop-offs and current seams.The **fish activity has been rock steady** in this stretch as fall transitions push baitfish into tighter schools. Willow Beach guides and tackle shops report **good numbers of striped bass** pulled early in the week, ranging from school-sized up to a few citation fish breaking the ten-pound mark by dusk. **Channel catfish** are also moving well at night – several folks landed cats weighing between 5-8 lbs on cut bait just south of Big Bend State Recreation Area.**Smallmouth bass** and largemouth are staging near rocky outcroppings and submerged brush, especially in coves around Cottonwood Cove and the downstream edges of Willow Beach. Recent catches favor reaction baits in the morning, moving to slower presentations as the sun climbs.For optimal results, locals have been sticking with:- **Topwater lures** at dawn—Whopper Plopper, Zara Spook, or walking baits get the boils along shallow flats- **Jerkbaits and swimbaits** during midday, particularly in shad patterns- **Crankbaits** in craw colors fished tight to drop-offs and submerged wood- **Cut anchovy and chicken liver** for catfish and even stripers at night- **Soft plastics (Senko, Ned rig, tube baits)** around rocky banks for smallies and largemouthsInsider tip: If you’re gunning for a trophy striper, make sure to drift a live shad or big chunk of anchovy near the deeper ledges off Willow Beach before sunrise, where several fish in the 15-20 lb class have been spotted lately.**Hot spots worth hitting:**- **Willow Beach Marina**: Consistent stripers and a good mix of catfish off the docks and rocky shelf.- **Cottonwood Cove**: Best bass bite in the afternoons, with aggressive fish feeding in 8–15 feet of water near submerged brush.- **Big Bend State Recreation Area**: Productive for nighttime catfish action and the occasional striper cruising the shallows.Boat traffic is lighter today, thanks to that post-rain stretch, and the improved water quality means jerkbaits and crankbaits running a touch clearer are a smart pick. Don’t forget extra fluorocarbon leader if you’re chasing stripers—their bite’s been sharp.That’s your boots-on-the-ground report for the Colorado River in Las Vegas.

  • Fall Feast on the Colorado River: Stripers, Bass, and Catfish Bonanza
    Fishing the Colorado River in and around Las Vegas this morning, October 8, 2025, the desert’s cool dawn gave way to a picture-perfect fall day—clear skies, gentle breezes, and a high near 86°F, as forecast by local Laughlin weather services. Sunrise hit at 6:37 a.m. with sunset expected at 6:18 p.m., giving anglers plenty of time on the water. Tidal influence here is minimal compared with coastal systems, so best action comes with low-light and steady weather rather than chasing a tide chart.Recent fishing has been hot, especially as striped bass move into their classic fall feeding pattern. According to Hooked On Stripers out of Willow Beach, night anglers have been slamming trophy stripers, including some pushing the 20-pound mark. Just last week, evenings saw several limits hit with solid fish in the 4-10 pound range. The all-time Nevada state record striper (67+ pounds) was caught at Willow Beach and the spot continues to produce best around sunset and first light before motorboat traffic picks up.Daytime fishing is solid too, with smallmouth and largemouth bass active along rocky points and drop-offs. Reports from local guides and forums say you can expect to catch stripers, channel catfish, largemouth, and plenty of panfish. Catfish bite is better late afternoon into dusk, with some double-digit cats landed recently off deeper shelves near coves.Best baits right now for stripers are live shad and anchovies, but if you want to throw artificials—bring your swimbaits in white or silver, especially paddletail varieties for deeper troughs. If you prefer hard baits, big topwater lures like the River2Sea Whopper Plopper, and classic pencil poppers early or late, have been drawing explosive hits. For bass, soft plastics on drop-shots or shaky heads along brush piles or submerged rock, as well as crankbaits in threadfin shad patterns, are producing.Catfish respond well to cut baits—chicken liver and stinkbait are the standards at night, especially below the Hoover Dam. Don’t overlook the humble nightcrawler, either, which is catching plenty of sunfish and smaller whisker cats.This week, boaters and kayakers focused on these key hot spots:- **Willow Beach**: Best for evening and night striper action, especially trolling deep-diving plugs or drifting live bait near the marina lights. - **Davis Dam Tailwater and Community Park**: Prime for mixed bags—stripers are stacked up in current breaks early, while smallmouth relate to ledges and gravelly runs.Remember, zebra mussels are being closely monitored around willow and Mohave; clean, drain, and dry your gear to help keep this fishery healthy. Water clarity is excellent, with slight stain after recent wind, and lake levels are steady though the river is running seasonally low—so stay alert in shallow channels.Locals are reporting the best bite coincides with cooler, calm mornings and the two hours before sunset. With less pleasure boat traffic as the season turns, the river is prime for serious anglers right now.Thanks for tuning in to today’s Colorado River fishing report!

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy on the Colorado River - Lures, Tactics, and Hot Spots for Bass, Stripers, and More
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you today’s Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Sunday, October 5, 2025.We kicked off the morning cool and crisp, with a gentle breeze off the river. Sunrise hit at 6:34 AM and sunset’s coming at 6:18 PM, setting up a great day for anglers. As of dawn, Cottonwood Cove reported temps in the mid-60s, expected to climb toward the low 80s with mostly clear skies—a perfect combo for fall fishing. No tidal swings to fuss with, but morning’s still prime for river current and bass activity, so set that alarm early.Fishing’s in classic autumn transition. The drop in water temps has the bass chasing threadfin shad, especially in the shallows at first and last light. Word from local guides and my own outings: smallmouth and largemouth are moving tighter together, holding on rocky points, submerged wood, and inside river eddies. This past week, folks have been hauling in good numbers of 1–3 pound largemouth and a steady parade of smallies, some up to 2.5 pounds, especially around Willow Beach and the coves upriver from Laughlin.Striped bass action is steady—morning boils are popping around the deeper runs near Hoover Dam and in coves like Telephone Cove. Several anglers reported landing stripers up to 6 pounds with mid-size models in the mix. Bluegill and catfish are still biting along slower stretches, great for the kids or filling up a stringer for the pan.Fall’s the time for changing up your presentations. This week, spinnerbaits have been downright deadly, especially with a little chop on the water. I recommend chartreuse or white 1/2 oz models for covering water and locating active fish—recent pro circuits have crowned spinnerbaits as comeback kings, and local tournament results back it up. If you’re fishing through grass beds or around submerged brush, a white or green pumpkin chatterbait offers a hard-thumping alternative. Soft plastics—Senko-style worms in green pumpkin, or Texas-rigged creature baits in watermelon—are putting fish in the boat once the sun gets high.For striper chasers, toss out swimbaits that match local shad, like 4" paddle tails, or troll shallow-diving crankbaits in silver-blue. Anchored folks have had luck with cut anchovy or chicken liver as bait for stripers and catfish alike.Here are a couple hotspots to circle on your map:- Willow Beach: Early morning casting near submerged structure for both bass and stripers. Fish cling to current breaks just after first light.- Big Bend State Recreation Area: Productive eddies along the Nevada side, especially the shaded banks late afternoon for a solid mixed bag.- Telephone Cove: Reliable for those looking to fill a stringer with panfish, plus a solid chance at a few bonus stripers chasing schools of shad.The bite’s best dawn to mid-morning and then again in the last 90 minutes before dark as the sun drops and water temps cool. Expect the fish to get tighter to cover as the day heats up, so slow down and work those laydowns or shade pockets in the afternoon.Thanks for tuning in—tight lines out there, and don’t forget to subscribe for news, tips, and hot bite reports from the Colorado every week.
