Good morning, anglers! This is Artificial Lure with your Colorado River fishing report for November 10, 2025.

Startin’ off today, sunrise hit around 6:40 AM with sunset lookin’ to drop just after 4:54 PM. Colorado’s fall palette is poppin’ but the chill’s bitin’ a little harder, with early hours in the upper 30s but climbing toward the mid-50s by afternoon. Winds are forecast to be light and steady, humidity holding around average—ideal for a few casts if you’re prepped for brisk mornings.

On the water, the river level’s good, flows are moderate, visibility is better than last week after recent cold snaps. No tidal shifts here since the river’s well upstream, but consult your favorite fishing app for those lunar phases—today’s a waning gibbous, 76% illuminated. Farmer’s Almanac says tonight’s not our best; “poor evening” expected for fish activity, so hit those prime daylight windows, especially before the next cold front moves in.

Action’s been decent at Corn Lake, part of the Colorado River State Park, with locals reporting steady catches of largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, bluegill, and the odd carp. Worms and live minnows are your best bait bets here—Minnow under a bobber was working wonders last weekend, with a few anglers landing bass over three pounds according to Snoflo.

If you’re lookin’ for artificials, we’ve seen solid movement on spinnerbaits and vibrating jigs (ChatterBaits). Green pumpkin and chartreuse colors are top choices right now, especially if visibility’s got a haze and the water’s running a touch cold. Early morning, try a 3/8-ounce spinnerbait with Colorado blades for that extra thump—fish seem to be favoring a slower roll. Midday, ChatterBaits along grass lines and submerged structure have hooked a couple of post-spawn bass. For the finesse crowd, wacky-rigged Senkos in natural colors like green pumpkin are picking up bass near hard-bottomed banks.

Catfish are still running good—locals suggest stink baits, chicken liver, or even range cubes for those targeting them after dark. Carp are active in the slower current stretches: dough balls and sweet corn both draw bites, especially if you chum the water a bit before you set up.

Recent reports from FishExplorer note that crappie are schooling tighter with the dropping temps. Small jigs, especially in white or pink, tipped with a bit of worm, work best at dawn and dusk. Bluegill are still hitting if you’re near shallows; ultra-light gear and small pieces of nightcrawler will fill your bucket quick.

Hot spots today:
- **Corn Lake**: Consistent results for bass, crappie, and bluegill—hit the east bank near submerged trees.
- **Island Acres Section**: Good for catfish after sunset, and the water’s holding a few bigger carp.
- **James M. Robb State Park channels**: Quiet but quick action on smaller bass and panfish.

If you’re new to the river, always check regs before wetting a line—special rules on bait and bag limits help keep our fishery thriving.
