# Artificial Lure's Colorado River Fishing Report - October 30, 2025
Good morning, anglers! This is Artificial Lure bringing you your daily fishing report for the Colorado River near Las Vegas.
We're heading into late autumn here in the desert, and conditions are shaping up nicely for a solid day on the water. The Colorado River section between Hoover Dam and Willow Beach is running calm and clear—perfect conditions for targeting stripers and bass. Water temps are cooling down as we transition seasons, which means fish are feeding more aggressively to prepare for winter.
**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**
The stripers have been biting both shallow and deep throughout the lake system. Bass are hitting the shallows hard right now, especially early morning, so get out there before the sun gets too high. Catfish are steady throughout the night hours if you're looking to do some nocturnal angling. According to the recent Lake Mead fishing reports, this pattern has been consistent over the past week.
**What's Working**
For stripers, work deep-diving crankbaits and swimbaits—the fish are positioning at various depths. For bass in the shallows, throw topwater early and transition to soft plastics as the day progresses. Catfish anglers should rely on fresh cut bait and chicken liver during evening hours.
**Hot Spot Recommendations**
First up is the **Emerald Cove area** near Willow Beach. This stretch offers crystal-clear water and good structure. The second spot is along the deeper channels between Hoover Dam and the lower basin—perfect for stripers this time of year.
**Getting Out There**
The put-in is at Kayak Beach near Willow Beach Marina, roughly an hour from downtown Las Vegas. Water conditions are flat and manageable for all skill levels right now.
