Colorado River Fishing Report: February 28th - Stripers Schooling Aggressive Near Las Vegas
Published 2 months ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with your Colorado River fishin' report for February 28th, right here around Las Vegas. Mornin' bite's lookin' prime at 6:45 AM sunrise, with sunset hittin' 5:50 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em down. Weather's classic desert winter: sunny skies, highs pushin' 65°F, light breeze off the river, no tides to worry about since we're talkin' freshwater flow from Hoover Dam.
Fish activity's steady despite low river levels—striped bass are schoolin' aggressive in the shallows, rainbows and channel cats bitin' consistent from recent angler logs. Locals pulled in 20-pound stripers last week on swimbaits, plus limits of 2-5 pound rainbows and a mess of cats up to 15 pounds. Smallmouth bass showin' too near structure.
Best lures? Go with **chartreuse swimbaits or crankbaits** for stripers—they're tearin' it up trollin' 10 feet down. Drop-shot rigs with **minnow-imitatin' soft plastics** nail rainbows. For cats, **stinkbaits like chicken liver** or cut anchovies on the bottom—can't beat 'em. Live minnows work universal if you can net some.
Hot spots: Hit **Windsor Beach** for calm white-sand access and family-friendly stripers, or **Horseshoe Bend overlook** for epic bends holdin' big rainbows—launch from Las Vegas Boat Harbor and drift downstream.
Water's clear but low, so watch your props and check Hoover Dam releases for flow updates. Tight lines, stay safe out there!
