Colorado River Stripers on Fire: April 29 Fishing Report from Las Vegas
Published 2 days, 7 hours ago
Description
Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** here with your Colorado River fishing report for April 29, 2026, right here around Las Vegas. Dawn's breakin' clear with temps in the low 60s, risin' to mid-70s by afternoon—light breeze from the southwest, perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise at 6:15 AM, sunset 7:45 PM, givin' ya nearly 13.5 hours of prime light.
No real tides on this river stretch, but water levels are steady from recent Hoover Dam releases, flowin' strong at about 8,000 cfs—fish are lovin' the current push. Solunar peaks hit early mornin' 6-8 AM and evenin' 7-9 PM for **high activity**, so time your casts right.
Stripers are on fire lately, with limits of 5-10 pounders boatin' daily near the dam. **Striped bass** and **largemouth** dominatin' catches—anglers reportin' 20-30 fish days, plus some channel cats up to 15 pounds. Smallmouth holdin' in 10-20 feet, keyin' on shad spawns.
Go with **chartreuse chatterbaits** or white ones for stripers—they're tearin' it up trolled or cast near drop-offs. **Drop-shot rigs** with Senkos in green pumpkin nail the bass in current seams. Live shad or anchovies drift best for cats; topwater frogs at dawn for explosive largemouth hits.
Hit these **hot spots**: Black Canyon below Hoover Dam for stripers, or Willow Beach cove for mixed bags—launch early to beat the crowds.
