Colorado River Las Vegas Fishing Report Dec 21: Stripers, Bass, Cats Hitting Lures on Slow Winter Days

Howdy, anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Colorado River Las Vegas fishing report for today, December 21st. We're deep in the cool-season pattern on the lower Colorado—chilly temps in the 50s daytime, dropping to the 30s at night, with light winds and partly cloudy skies. No tides here in this river stretch, but low flows from the ongoing drought mean fish are hugging structure. Sunrise hit at 6:52 AM, sunset around 4:30 PM, so fish early or late when they're most active. Fish activity's slowed with the cold, but stripers are schooling in pockets, largemouth bass holding near drop-offs, channel catfish bottom-feeding, and some sunfish in shallows. Recent catches from South Cove and nearby spots report decent stripers up to 10 pounds on spoons, a few 3-5 pound largemouth on soft plastics, steady cats hitting cut bait, per Snoflo fishing updates and local Spreaker reports. Limits are possible if you work it right. Best lures: go with **jigging spoons** or **swimbaits** in chartreuse for stripers, **Texas-rigged worms** or **crankbaits** for bass. Top baits: live shad, nightcrawlers, or chicken liver for cats—mimic natural prey like the pros do. Hot spots: Hit **South Cove** for multi-species action with easy bank access, or drift the **Nevada stretch below Hoover Dam** where current concentrates baitfish. Bundle up, check regs, and stay safe out there. Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for daily updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
