Unless I'm missing something, even checking the Nueces which doesn't run into Choke, I don't see any significant water anywhere along the river. I think it's so dry it may have all already soaked in.

The water spiked at Uvalde yesterday at 5 pm. The next station, Asherton, doesn't show any change as of yet.

The Frio near Uvalde only rose about 2 ft. for three hours yesterday.

Unfortunately the Nueces and the Frio come together on the wrong side of the Choke dam.

The Nueces runs into Mathis, and some times water is let of out Choke to get to Mathis for the water supply for Corpus. So indirectly, even rain in the Nueces can help Choke.

Yep, dont confuse the name Three Rivers with Choke Canyon. Three Rivers was named for the confluence of the Atascosa, Nueces and the Frio Rivers but unfortunatly this confluence is just AFTER Choke Caynon below the dam. The Frio and San Miguel Creek are the major tributaries to Choke.....and have proven to be unreliable water sheds as far as keeping water in Choke are concerned.

So how is the fishing even with it as low as it is? Thinking of going Tuesday on my day off.

I went today, if I were you I would go somewhere else. My best 5 might have been 12 lbs. lake is looking pathetic and getting really murky. Caught about 20 but only 7 keepers. I did catch a 25 lb carp that had my attention for a bit, pretty fun battle! I probably wont be back for quite a while unless it catches a bunch of water, its really low!

I didnt beat the bank so maybe they are shallow, I doubt it though.

Total of 4 boats on the lake including me, and I think only 1 other was bass fishing.

Bummer to see the lake is still this low. I don't think I've been since 2010. Need a big tropical storm to come through. Even then it will take a few years for the fishing to take off again. Just the way that lake is.

Any of you that were around when the lake was on fire, 2006-2009?, how were those big stringers caught? I saw Bass Champs results I think in 09 and 2 bass over 15 lbs were caught, just curious what the pattern was back then.

I used to fish it in those days when it was full. I sat and watched 1st and 2nd place in Champs one time culling 6 pounders one day. They were tied up 10 feet apart to trees in a junker bay boat and an even junkier bass boat and throwing swimbaits at bluegill beds. Never seen anything like it. I bet they each threw back over 25-30 pound stringers. I want to say 38-40 won. My 20 wasn't even worth getting out the weigh bag. A lot of other huge bags were caught back then off road beds and especially bridges on those road beds. Oh to have had the Structure Scan back then...Haha

Yep. Fished BassChamps in those tournaments. Boat draw # was super important. There were a handful of the kind of spots you could catch those bags on. Everyone knew it. You had to get a good draw and race to get there. If not, you just had to scramble a bit--and even then you could stumble across a big one or two.
