 Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for Friday, May 23rd, 2025.

The sun rose at about 5:30 AM today and will set around 7:40 PM, giving us a beautiful long day for fishing. Weather's looking mighty fine with temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s with clear skies and light winds - just perfect conditions for a day on the water!

Water levels on the Colorado have been holding steady this past week. The flow has remained similar to what we saw in mid-May, around 240 cubic-feet-per-second, which is a bit higher than we had in early May. This increased flow has been stirring up some excellent action, especially in the deeper channels.

Rainbow trout fishing continues to be excellent following those stockings we had earlier this month. Remember, Storrie Lake near Las Vegas received over 4,000 catchable-size rainbows on May 6th, plus those beautiful 450 larger rainbows averaging 16.5 inches on May 7th. These fish are still active and hitting well on small spinners, especially gold and silver patterns. For you bait fishermen, salmon eggs and PowerBait in bright colors have been very productive.

The striper bite has picked up considerably in the last few days, particularly early morning and late evening. They've been hitting topwater lures at dawn, then moving deeper as the day progresses. Try white or chartreuse crankbaits in the 10-15 foot depths during midday.

Bass fishing has been steady with some nice largemouth being caught near structure using plastic worms in dark colors. The smallmouth are hitting crawdad imitations in the rocky areas.

For catfish, try the deeper pools with chicken liver or prepared stinkbaits, especially as we move toward dusk. Some anglers reported nice 3-5 pound channel cats this past week.

Hot spots this week include the area just below Hoover Dam for trout, the coves around Lake Mead Marina for stripers, and the rocky points near Hemenway Harbor for smallmouth bass.

For you shore anglers, try the fishing pier at Boulder Beach - it's been producing some nice catches lately. Boat anglers should check out Black Canyon, where the deeper channels have been holding some monster stripers.

Overall, fishing conditions are prime right now, folks. The recent stable weather has these fish in a predictable pattern, so it's a great time to get out there. Just remember to stay hydrated in this heat!

This is Artificial Lure signing off for now. Tight lines, everyone, and I'll see you on the water!
