このコンテンツについて
Weather’s typical for late June—warm, muggy mornings pushing into the upper 80s by midafternoon, with a light south wind to keep things bearable. No big storms on the radar, so you’ll have stable barometric pressure—always a plus for consistent fish activity.
Fish action’s heating up just like the temps. According to recent reports, largemouth bass are hanging shallow early, often near submerged timber and grassy points, before sliding deeper once the sun’s high. Green pumpkin and watermelon red soft plastics are getting the most bites, and if you’re after a reaction strike, lipless crankbaits in chrome or red are getting those more aggressive fish to commit. Anglers are reporting good numbers of bass, including several in the 3-to-5-pound range, especially in the main river and backwater sloughs.
Catfish fans are seeing steady action along the deeper bends, with the stretch near Boquillas Canyon being especially productive—cut shad and classic stinkbait are drawing solid channel cats up to 6 pounds, with a few blue cats tipping the scales at 20 pounds making headlines this week. Night fishing for cats is producing too, with the cooler temps after sunset making for a comfortable bite.
Don’t forget about the trout bite—while the Rio Grande isn’t known as a classic trout river in these deep South Texas stretches, there have been a few scattered reports of Rio Grande cutthroat where cooler spring inflows hit, thanks to earlier stocking efforts upstream. Most of the action down here, though, is bass and cats.
For bait, stick with live or fresh-cut shad for catfish and soft plastics or lipless crankbaits for bass—if you’re feeling old-school, chicken livers are always a winner for channel cats.
Hot spots this week: try the main channel around Boquillas Canyon for steady catfish action, or hit the backwater sloughs near the mouth of Tornillo Creek if you’re chasing early-morning largemouth. If you’re visiting Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande itself along with Tornillo and Terlingua Creeks are your best bets—just remember, you’ll need a park fishing permit, but no state license required in the park.
That wraps up your Rio Grande report. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss the latest bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
