We’re starting off the day down here in deep South Texas with a typical early summer morning—temperatures at sunrise hovering around the low 80s and a light southeast breeze rippling the river. Today’s sunrise came right at 6:43 a.m., with sunset expected at 8:34 p.m. You can expect partly cloudy skies, highs pushing the mid-90s, and those muggy river-bottom conditions we know so well. The heat will build fast, so plan on getting lines in early or waiting until the evening bite when things cool off.
The tidal swing today is moderate, with a late morning high tide around 10:30 a.m. and a low falling off mid-afternoon. That incoming tide will keep fish moving, especially near creek mouths and deeper bends off the main flow.
Now, for the fish: The Rio Grande is giving up a strong early summer bite, and according to the most recent Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly reports, the largemouth bass are still active in the main river channel as well as in oxbows and backwaters. Brush piles and rocky banks have been hot zones, with topwater poppers and buzzbaits working well at dawn. As the sun climbs, switch to Texas-rigged plastics or crankbaits in watermelon and chartreuse colors. Prime time is dawn, dusk, and after dark for the bigger fish.
Catfish action is also solid—plenty of channel cats and the occasional blue cat being hauled in from deeper runs and beneath overhanging brush. Best bets have been cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait fished just above bottom. Look for them near the old bridge pilings and around any sort of submerged timber.
If you’re after panfish, the bream and sunfish are stacked up along grassy shorelines and around brush. Small worms or crickets under a bobber will keep the kids busy all day.
Up closer to Big Bend National Park, the river has also been giving up a few nice catches to those willing to hike in—especially around Tornillo and Terlingua Creeks. You’ll find smallmouth and even a few Rio Grande cutthroat trout in deeper, cooler pockets. For trout, pack along some spinners or single-hook Panther Martins, and remember, inside the park a free permit is required—no state license needed.
Hot spots for the day:
- The deep bend just above the old Roma bridge—always a producer for bass and catfish.
- The mouth of Falcon Lake, especially early as the bait moves with the incoming tide.
- For the adventurous, hike-in access below Dryden Crossing or in Big Bend NP for a shot at wild trout and smallmouth.
Top lures right now:
- Early: Zara Spooks, Heddon Torpedoes, and buzzbaits in shad or bone.
- Midday: Deep-diving crankbaits, Texas-rigged plastics, or live bait for catfish.
Don’t forget to hydrate, wear your sun gear, and watch for quick-moving storms this time of year.
