Falcon Lake Fishing Report, Cabins For Rent

Falcon Lake is a mainstream reservoir on the Rio Grand River between Texas and Mexico The Falcon Lake water is shallow with gradual sloping banks When the lake is low, timber and rock piles are the only cover to fish. At pool level, Falcon Lake vegetation along the shore provides the best cover. Hydrilla is sparse at this time.

According to the latest Falcon Lake Fishing, fish are more active during the fall, winter and spring months due to the cooler weather. Fish are active on Falcon Lake much longer during daylight hours and are normally found in shallow water early morning and late afternoon For active fish on Falcon Lake, spinner baits and crank baits are most fisherman's choice. The most recent Falcon Lake Fishing Report suggests using a variety of watermelon green plastic worms Texas and Carolina rigged.

Early morning is an anglers dream on Falcon Lake...top water baits are just about anything that floats will work fine. Normally Poppers, Prop Baits, Flukes, or just about any Stick Bait. Fishing can be difficult on Falcon Lake during the hotter summer months so try a buzzbait in the early morning and late afternoon for topwater.
