 Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Saturday, June 21, 2025.

We kicked things off with the sun rising at 6:18 AM, and with the sunset not till 7:15 PM, there’s a full day of prime angling ahead. Weather’s in our favor: mild summer temps and gentle breezes make it a perfect day for both boaters and bank fishermen. No tidal issues to worry about on the river—the flow’s steady and water clarity is solid, so everyone’s got a fair shot at a good catch.

Fish activity on the Colorado River around Las Vegas is on fire right now. Striped bass are the main event, especially early mornings and just after sunset when they’re pushing shad and ambushing bait near the dam areas and deep channels. Reports from the last few days have anglers regularly landing multiple stripers, with some real bruisers breaking the 10-pound mark closer to the Lake Mohave stretch. Cut anchovy is still the top bait for numbers, but if you want that trophy bite, jointed swimbaits in rainbow trout patterns have been fooling the big ones. The Nevada Department of Wildlife confirms there’s been a solid uptick in both catch rates and size this week.

Largemouth bass have shifted to their summer routines, holding tight to structure and getting active at dawn and dusk. Try spinnerbaits, green pumpkin creature baits, or chatterbaits pitched into shaded pockets along rocky banks and submerged brush. Smallmouths are popping up in the rocky sections just below Davis Dam—finesse jigs, drop-shot rigs, and soft plastics that imitate minnows or crawfish are the go-to. Don’t overlook a Ned rig for a consistent bite.

If you’re looking to mix it up, trout are still being stocked in park areas, and while they’re a fun target on light tackle, their presence is also kicking the striper bite up a notch as the bigger fish respond to the easy meals. Catfish action is picking up at night with cut bait around slack eddies and deeper pools.

As for hot spots, the Willow Beach stretch is lighting up for both stripers and largemouth bass, especially in the coves early and late. The tailwater below Davis Dam is another standout—morning bite has been electric there all week. For those preferring easy access, the park areas in Laughlin offer plenty of bank fishing and reliable action, particularly for smaller stripers and stocked trout.

To sum it up: Stripers are the star, big ones biting near the dams and deeper channels, especially on cut anchovy and large swimbaits. Bass anglers should work structure with soft plastics and spinnerbaits, with best bites at dawn and dusk. Trout and catfish round out the action for those mixing it up.
