 Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025, focused on the stretch near Las Vegas.

Sunrise came in at around 5:32 AM this morning and you’ll have daylight to cast lines until sunset at about 7:36 PM. The weather today is ideal for fishing: expect clear skies, temperatures peaking near 82 degrees, and light southwest winds around 5 to 8 miles per hour. The Colorado’s water level is holding steady, with flows a bit above what we saw earlier this month—perfect for stirring up those deeper river channels and getting the fish moving[3].

The recent bite has been downright lively. Rainbow trout action is strong thanks to recent heavy stocking. Storrie Lake just northeast of town received more than 4,000 catchable rainbows on May 6 and another 450 larger models averaging 16.5 inches just after that. While those fish were stocked upstream, similar stockings in the Colorado system are keeping the bite hot around Las Vegas. Anglers have been hooking plenty of rainbows, with small spinners—especially gold or silver blades—producing best results. If you’re bait fishing, salmon eggs and brightly colored PowerBait are working wonders[3].

Striped bass are also active in the main river channels and below the spillways. The rising flows have them chasing schools of shad and smaller fish. Trolling with swimbaits, casting topwater plugs during low-light periods, and fishing live shad will all get you strikes. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are coming out of their spring spawn and starting to move back into the shallower rocks and submerged structure, hitting on soft plastics and crankbaits that imitate baitfish[2][3].

Best hot spots right now include the river bends north of Willow Beach and the areas just below Davis Dam. These sections have some deeper runs and eddies where trout and stripers are holding. Early mornings, just after sunrise, are prime time, but bite windows often reopen in the late afternoon as shadows stretch over the water[3].

With water clarity a bit off due to higher flows, stick to lures with some flash or vibration. Try Panther Martin or Rooster Tail spinners for trout, and for bass and stripers, go with white or shad-pattern swimbaits, or bright crankbaits.

To sum it up: rainbow trout are biting well, stripers are actively hunting, and bass fishing is on the upswing as we move into summer. Salmon eggs, PowerBait, gold and silver spinners, soft plastics, and shad-pattern crankbaits are all on the menu.

Tight lines and good luck out there on the Colorado!
