We woke up this morning to a classic South Texas summer start—temps right around 80 at dawn, a light southeast breeze, and that muggy river-bottom air. The sun broke the horizon at 6:43 a.m., and you can expect to squeeze in every bit of daylight you can handle with sunset not until 8:34 p.m. Weather’s calling for highs up around the mid-90s, mostly partly cloudy, and it’s going to feel every bit as sticky as you’d imagine for late June on the Rio. If you’re after fish and not just a sunburn, plan your trip around the coolest parts of the day.
Tide-wise, we’ve got a moderate swing with the high tide pushing in at 10:30 a.m. The water’ll drop back out through the afternoon, so anglers wanting active fish should target that late morning window and ride the moving water for best results.
The bite’s been steady and strong this week. Largemouth bass are snapping early, especially in the main river channel and the backwater oxbows. Topwater poppers and buzzbaits are money at dawn around brush, laydowns, and rocky banks. As the sun peeks higher, bass are sliding deeper—Texas-rigged plastics in watermelon or chartreuse and crankbaits near structure have been pulling some nice fish. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, anglers are landing multiple 3-to-5-pounders, especially on the upstream bends and around submerged timber.
Catfish are a can’t-miss right now. Channel cats and the occasional big blue are holed up in deeper runs and undercut banks. Best bet for these whisker-faces is cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait, fished on bottom or just off ledges. Some reports from Boquillas Canyon have folks landing channel cats up to 6 pounds, and blues pushing 20 pounds aren’t unheard of this month.
Trout action is worth a look too, up near the upper river reaches and cool creek mouths—recent stockings have boosted the numbers of rainbow and even the occasional Rio Grande cutthroat. If you’re fly fishing, keep your eyes peeled for the caddis hatch, which usually kicks off this time of year. Otherwise, small inline spinners and salmon eggs will do the trick for rainbows.
Best hot spots right now? Head for the oxbow just south of Falcon Dam for early topwater bass, or make your way to the deep bend below Boquillas Canyon for heavy catfish. Creek mouths and submerged timber near San Ygnacio are holding good fish, too.
And don’t forget your bug spray—the mosquitoes are as hungry as the fish.
