 Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Monday, May 19th, 2025.

We had sunrise this morning right around 6:20 AM and expect sunset about 7:10 PM, giving us a solid window for a full day on the water. The weather’s just about perfect with highs reaching the mid 80s today and a gentle southwest breeze at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Water clarity is decent, especially earlier in the day before heat and wind stir things up. River flow is steady at about 2900 to 3000 cubic feet per second below Glenwood Springs, which is good news for those planning to cast a line.

The Colorado here isn’t tidal, but we do see river levels creep up through late morning and into the afternoon due to dam releases. When you see that water level rise, look for fish in current breaks, along shoreline cover, and in the deeper holes. That moving water gets stripers and bass active and on the hunt.

Fishing has been hot this past week. Stripers are in especially good numbers, many in the three to five pound range, and there’s solid action early mornings and late afternoons. Anglers are catching them on cut anchovies, silver swimbaits, Jumpin Minnows, and Kastmasters, especially when working the drop-offs and deeper runs. Community Park and the stretches just below Davis Dam have both produced consistent catches—those are your hot spots right now if stripers are the target.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass are also hitting well, with soft plastics and spinnerbaits getting the job done. For trout, keep in mind some of the upstream spawning closures through June 1st, but there are still plenty of open sections where you can find hungry rainbows, especially in the cooler, shaded runs. The annual caddis hatch is in full swing this week, so fly anglers should pack caddis dries, blue winged olives, and a few midge patterns. PMD and small green drake nymphs are also turning heads subsurface.

Best bait right now for stripers is fresh cut anchovy, but do not overlook artificial lures like silver or white swimbaits and shad imitators. For bass, stick with craw soft plastics, spinnerbaits in white or chartreuse, and try topwaters during the low light hours. Trout will key in on small natural baits, caddis or midge imitations, especially in the cooler parts of the river.

To sum it up, Community Park and below Davis Dam are your top bets this week. Stripers are biting, bass are moving shallow, and trout are getting fired up as insect hatches take off. The weather is right and the fish are ready to play—tight lines out there, and see you on the water soon[1][2].
