Colorado River Spring Bite: Stripers and Bass Going Off

# Artificial Lure's Colorado River Fishing ReportHey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for the Colorado River down here in Vegas.Water conditions are looking solid right now. We're in that sweet spot of spring where the river's warming up nicely, sitting around 62-65 degrees. The recent runoff has settled down, so visibility is decent—about 3 to 4 feet, which is perfect for sight fishing.Sunrise was around 5:45 this morning, and we'll get sunset around 8:15 tonight, giving us a solid 14-plus hours of fishing. Weather's looking beautiful—mostly clear skies, light winds from the south around 5-8 knots, and temperatures climbing into the low 80s by afternoon. Couldn't ask for better conditions.Fish activity has been fantastic lately. The stripers are feeding aggressively right now, especially during the early morning hours. We've been seeing good numbers of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and some decent crappie action. Reports from the past week show anglers landing stripers in the 4-8 pound range, with some bigger girls pushing 12-15 pounds. Catfish have been solid, running 3-6 pounds.For lures, I'm throwing swimbaits and topwater early—the stripers love that commotion at dawn. Soft plastics work great too, especially in shad patterns. For bass, stick with crankbaits and jigs. Live bait is your ticket though—shiners and shad are producing like crazy right now. Fresh mackerel works excellent for catfish.Two hot spots I'm hitting today: First, the area around Willow Beach near the dam—current breaks there are holding stripers like crazy. Second, check out the backwater coves near Overton Arm. The shallow water's warming up, and the bass are staging hard in those areas.Get out there and tight lines, everyone!
