Fishing the Colorado River Near Las Vegas on a Perfect November Day
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
If you're planning to hit the Colorado River near Las Vegas today, November 30, 2024, here’s what you need to know:
The weather is looking perfect for a day on the water, with clear skies and mild temperatures. Expect a high of around 78°F and a low of 58°F. Sunrise is at about 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:00 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to catch some fish.
There are no significant tidal changes to worry about in this section of the river, as the Colorado River below the dams does not experience tidal fluctuations.
Yesterday saw a good number of fish being caught. Anglers reported success with striped bass and trout. For striped bass, trolling umbrella rigs, especially in areas like the Government Wash and Virgin Basin, has been highly effective. Some striped bass caught yesterday weighed up to 20 pounds. For trout, small jigs and spinners worked well, particularly in areas with structure like rocks and drop-offs.
If you're targeting brown trout, consider using lures like swimbaits and crankbaits, especially during the early morning and late afternoon. Rainbow trout, which have been consistently stocked in the area, can also be caught using these methods.
For specific hot spots, focus on the Government Wash and Virgin Basin for striped bass. For trout, areas around rocky drop-offs and shelves on the Nevada side of the dam are highly productive.
Overall, the stable water levels and good clarity make it an ideal day for both surface and sub-surface fishing. So, grab your gear and head out to enjoy the excellent fishing conditions on the Colorado River near Las Vegas.
