  • Summary

  • For December 1, 2024, if you're planning to fish the Rio Grande in Texas, here's what you need to know. First, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees and a low of 50 degrees, making it a pleasant day on the water.

    Sunrise is at 6:58 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you ample time to fish. Since the Rio Grande is a river, tidal cycles are not a major factor, but the water levels are currently about 65.80 feet below pool, with a normal stain.

    Fish activity has been good, especially for white bass, stripers, and black bass. White bass are active in 25-35 feet of water on main river channels, particularly around bait balls. Follow the birds, as they often indicate where the fish are schooling. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of white bass using blades in shad patterns, spoons, and small rattle traps.

    Stripers are fair around the dam and buoys in 20-25 feet of water. They have been caught using flutter spoons, swim baits, and bucktail jigs in white and chartreuse. Black bass are fair on main lake and secondary points, with anglers using flukes, chatterbaits, rattle traps, and soft plastics in 15-20 feet of water.

    For the best results, focus on areas like the main river channels and around the dam. The Devils River and the main lake channels are also productive spots, especially where you find deeper bait balls and sheer ledges.

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a productive day of fishing on the Rio Grande. Just remember to dress in layers and enjoy the mild winter weather.
