Colorado River Fishing Report: Baits, Bites, and Basin Tensions

**ARTIFICIAL LURE'S COLORADO RIVER FISHING REPORT** Saturday, November 15th, 2025 Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the Colorado River around Las Vegas. We're heading into what's shaping up to be an interesting water situation. The seven Colorado River basin states—including Nevada—are working through some serious negotiations on water allocation post-2026. Right now, Lake Mead is projected to sink below record lows by September 2027 according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, so conditions are definitely tight. That said, this shouldn't drastically impact your Saturday fishing. **Weather & Conditions** We've had some serious atmospheric activity this week pushing through the Southwest. While the heaviest rain is moving south toward Southern California, you might catch some residual moisture and variable conditions around the lake this weekend. Expect cool temperatures and potentially some wind gusts, so dress in layers and secure your gear. **What's Biting** The recent storm activity has stirred up the lake. Bass fishing has been solid on jigs—specifically, a half-ounce Picasso Old School Dock Rocket is showing excellent results when you're targeting fish throughout the water column. Mix in some quality minnow presentations, and you're looking at a solid day. **Hot Spots** Check out the dock areas around the northwest coves where the creek inflows are—freshwater inputs from recent weather always trigger feeding. The boulder-laden points near the deeper drop-offs are producing consistently right now too. **Final Thoughts** Water levels matter, folks. Stay aware of those reservoir conditions and fish the structure you can find. Get out early, work those jigs, and make every cast count. Thanks for tuning in to the report!
