Big Bend Region Week of January 7, 2026
- Amistad
- GOOD. Water stained 58 degrees; 63.18 feet below pool. Conditions at Lake Amistad remain steady, with water temperatures holding in the low 60s, and lake levels continuing a slow decline. The lake lake dropped 5.75 inches over the past 10 days. Bass fishing has been somewhat challenging as fish are scattered throughout the water column, though most success is coming from shallow areas with available cover such as rocks or grass with some fish also being caught deep in 25-plus feet near adjacent 40-plus-feet of water. Crappie fishing is good around trees in 15-25 feet of water using 2-3 inch plastic minnows fished vertically, while catfish action remains steady in deep drains in 40-60 feet of water on prepared baits fished mostly vertical on small treble hooks.
