  • "Fishing the Rio Grande in Texas: Conditions, Hot Spots, and Recommended Lures"

    "Fishing the Rio Grande in Texas: Conditions, Hot Spots, and Recommended Lures"
    Sep 26 2024
    If you're planning to hit the Rio Grande in Texas today, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, the weather is looking pretty good with a high of 94°F and a low of 75°F. Sunrise is at about 7:12 AM, and sunset will be around 7:39 PM.

    For the Rio Grande, the water conditions have been a bit challenging lately due to recent rains, but things are starting to settle down. The streamflow is still a bit higher than normal, but it's manageable for fishing. As of the last report, the streamflow at Taos Junction Bridge was 211 cubic-feet-per-second, which is lower than last week but still below normal.

    Fish activity has been decent, especially for white bass and stripers. These fish are often found in the deeper sections of the river, around 30-50 feet deep, particularly around buoys 20-23. Follow the shad bait balls, and you'll likely find the fish right under them. For these species, using Alabama rigs, underspins, spoons, deep diving jerkbaits, and swim baits have been highly effective.

    For other species, the Rio Grande has seen some good catches of rainbow trout and wild brown trout. The area around Pilar has been stocked recently with rainbow trout, and there are also northern pike and smallmouth bass present.

    In terms of the best lures and bait, for the white bass and stripers, go with shad pattern crankbaits, topwater baits in bone and shad colors, and deep diving jerkbaits. For trout, live bait and small jigs have been working well.

    If you're looking for hot spots, consider the area around buoys 20-23 for the white bass and stripers. For trout, the Rio Grande Gorge above Pilar and the area near the Taos Junction Bridge have been productive. Also, the Orilla Verde Recreation Area on the Rio Grande at Pilar is worth a visit.

    Remember to check the local fishing regulations for any specific limits and restrictions before you head out. Happy fishing

  • Catch of the Day: Rio Grande Fishing Report for September 24, 2024

    Catch of the Day: Rio Grande Fishing Report for September 24, 2024
    Sep 24 2024
    For anglers heading to the Rio Grande in Texas on September 24, 2024, here’s a comprehensive daily fishing report to help you make the most of your day on the water.

    ### Current Weather Conditions
    As of the morning of September 24, the weather in the Rio Grande area is expected to be partly cloudy with a high temperature of around 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind speed is moderate, blowing at about 10 miles per hour, which should provide a comfortable fishing environment. There is a slight chance of precipitation, but it is not expected to significantly impact your fishing plans.

    ### Water Conditions
    The water level in the Rio Grande is slightly below normal, which can affect fish behavior. The water temperature is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and the clarity is slightly stained, typical for this time of year. These conditions suggest that fish may be seeking cooler, more shaded areas.

    ### Best Fishing Spots
    For those targeting trout, the Rio Grande Gorge above Pilar is a promising spot. This area was recently stocked with rainbow trout on September 6, and it also hosts wild brown trout and northern pike.

    ### Bait and Tackle Recommendations
    - For trout, use small to medium-sized lures such as spinners, spoons, and dry flies. Live bait like worms and minnows can also be effective.
    - If you're after smallmouth bass, consider using soft plastics, crankbaits, and topwater baits, especially around rocky structures and weed lines.
    - Northern pike can be caught using larger spoons and spinners, as well as live bait like shad or minnows.

    ### Fish Activity
    Trout are likely to be found in the deeper pools and around structure such as rocks and weed lines. They tend to feed early in the morning and late in the evening when the water is cooler. Smallmouth bass are active in the shallower areas, particularly around grass edges and retaining walls, and can be caught using shad patterns and crankbaits.

    ### Local Events, Regulations, and Restrictions
    The daily catch limit for trout in the Rio Grande from the Colorado border to the Taos Junction Bridge is two trout per day. There are no major local events or closures reported for today, but always check with local authorities for any last-minute updates.

    ### Tips from Local Anglers
    Local anglers recommend fishing from a float tube or kayak to navigate the river more effectively and reach areas that might be difficult to access from the shore. Early morning and late evening are the best times for fishing, as these periods offer the best feeding times for most fish species.

    ### Best Times for Fishing Today
    Given the weather and water conditions, the best times to fish today would be early in the morning from around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and then again in the late evening from around 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. These times coincide with the cooler parts of the day when fish are most active.

    Enjoy your fishing trip to the Rio Grande, and remember to respect local regulations and the environment to ensure a sustainable fishing experience for everyone.

  • Rio Grande Fishing Report: Trout Targets, Reddies, and Weather Insights for September 23, 2024

    Rio Grande Fishing Report: Trout Targets, Reddies, and Weather Insights for September 23, 2024
    Sep 23 2024
    For anglers heading to the Rio Grande in Texas on September 23, 2024, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    **Weather Conditions:**
    Expect a warm day with temperatures ranging from 69°F to 83°F. Wind speeds are moderate, around 10-15 mph, with a slight chance of precipitation. This weather should provide a comfortable fishing environment.

    **Water Conditions:**
    The water level is slightly above normal due to recent rainfall, but it's slowly receding. Water temperatures are around 85-88 degrees, and the clarity is slightly stained, especially in areas with recent flooding.

    **Best Fishing Spots:**
    For those targeting speckled trout and redfish, the far west side of San Luis Pass and areas around the jetties are highly recommended. These spots have been producing consistent catches, especially with live natural baits on deep shell.

    **Bait and Tackle:**
    Live shrimp and finger mullet are the top choices for speckled trout and redfish. For those preferring artificial lures, larger paddle tails in purple and chartreuse, as well as straight tail lures like Coastal Brew’s 6-inch darts in purple and orange crush, have been effective. MirrOLure Little John’s in dark colors and Custom Corky SoftDines in dark colors with chartreuse are also recommended.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Speckled trout and redfish are active in the early morning and late afternoon. Trout are often found in the same areas they have been for months, despite the high water levels. Redfish are scattered but will start to gather on shorelines as the water temperatures drop. Look for areas with good concentrations of bait and pelicans diving, as these are indicators of active fish.

    **Local Tips:**
    Captain David Dillman from Galveston Bay Charter Fishing advises anglers to focus on shallow areas with positive qualities such as baitfish and diving pelicans. He recommends fishing these areas deliberately and safely.

    **Best Fishing Times:**
    According to the solunar forecast, the best fishing times today are between 2:24 AM-4:24 AM and 2:51 PM-4:51 PM, with minor times between 9:37 AM-10:37 AM.

    **Local Events and Regulations:**
    There are no major local fishing events today, but it's important to note that fishing regulations, including catch limits, remain in place. For speckled trout and redfish, ensure you are aware of the daily bag limits and size restrictions to avoid any penalties.

    With these tips and conditions in mind, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day of fishing on the Rio Grande. Always remember to stay safe, be courteous to other anglers, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Tight lines
