Amistad Fishing Report
- Feb 25, 2026
- SLOW. Water stained 65 degrees; 65.52 feet below pool. Conditions at Lake Amistad continue to transition into a classic spring bass pattern, with water temperatures ranging from the high 50s to mid 60s. River areas are warming faster than the main lake. Many buck bass and some females are moving shallow into spawning areas, and bass are being caught in 0-10 feet of water. Moving baits such as bladed jigs and crankbaits are effective for pre-spawn fish. Slower presentations like lizards and creature baits are producing bites around beds. With a warming trend in the long-range forecast, bass fishing should remain strong over the next 8-12 weeks as fish progress from pre-spawn to spawn and post-spawn in shallow areas–making it an excellent time to be on the lake.
