Colorado River Stripers and Bass Going Off This Morning
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for reelin' 'em in around the Colorado River here in Las Vegas. It's early mornin' on April 21, 2026, and the river's callin'—water's runnin' clear and steady at about 55-60°F, perfect for striper chasin' and bass beddin' down.
No tides to worry 'bout in this desert flow, but solunar charts from FishingReminder show very high fish activity today—dawn and dusk are prime, with major bites from 6-8 AM. Weather's lookin' cooperative: partly cloudy, highs near 75°F, light SSE winds 5-10 mph per West Michigan Charter vibes adapted local, no storms messin' things up. Sunrise at 6:15 AM, sunset 7:30 PM—get out there early.
Recent catches? Local reports mirror Lake Dunlap action: stripers and white bass schoolin' mid-river in big numbers, largemouth bass hittin' hard on spawn edges. Anglers pulled limits of 5-10 lb stripers, 2-4 lb bass, some catfish mixin' in—Captain Experiences notes schools between coves, just like our bends here.
Best lures: chatterbaits and underspins for bass in flooded brush, weightless worms along hydrilla edges. For stripers, live shad or anchovies drift-fished, or gold spoons on falling current. Soft plastics under poppers for trout-like bites if you're shore-bound.
Hot spots: Hit the protected bends near Party Cove stretch below Hoover Dam—schools ballin' bait. And Black Canyon walls, 10 miles downstream, for staging bass on rock ledges and brush piles.
Rig light, stay safe on the water, and tight lines!
