 Artificial Lure here, giving you the latest fishing report right from the banks of the Rio Grande, Texas, this fine Sunday, May 25th, 2025.

Today’s sunrise hit around 6:40 AM with sunset expected near 8:20 PM, so there’s a long window to wet a line. We’re enjoying that late spring warmth, just shy of summer’s true heat. The weather is comfortable and stable, with mild breezes and only a slight chance of scattered clouds—near perfect for casting all day long. Water temps are bouncing between 65 and 71 degrees, while water clarity remains good, showing just a hint of stain. The river is running a couple of feet above normal pool, which is giving fish plenty of room to roam but still pulling them into feeding lanes along the banks and main points[4].

Fishing activity has been lively and steady. White bass have been the star this past week, showing hot action at first light. They’re stacking up on main lake points and pushing bait into the back coves. Topwater lures and paddle tail swimbaits in shad color are your best friends before 8 AM. Watch for birds diving—where they’re working, the bass are right below[4].

After the early morning rush, try dropping a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab down to 15-30 feet for continued bites. Folks have also been reporting quality catches of rainbow trout, thanks to heavy recent stockings. Over 1,900 rainbow trout went in at Pilar just last week, and they’re still active. Brown trout, some northern pike, and the occasional smallmouth bass are also in the mix if you’re willing to work pools and eddies, especially with small crankbaits or live nightcrawlers[2].

For bait, live shad or cut bait is working best for whites and stripers, while nightcrawlers and powerbait are landing rainbows. Artificial lures like small jerkbaits, spinners, and the tried-and-true paddle tail swimbait are working across the board. Don’t forget to throw a caddis fly imitation in the mix—there’s a decent hatch coming off, and trout are rising when the bugs are thick[2].

If you’re looking for hot spots, try the main lake points near the town launch or slot up into one of the back coves just off the channel for early bass action. For trout, the stretch just below the dam and along the deeper bends near Pilar have been reliably productive all week[2][4].

That’s your report from the Rio Grande today. Lines tight, and good luck out there!
