Can't think of any better place to fish during the first couple days of fall than the Nueces Canyon. Fished a couple of days last week on the Nueces River in both Uvalde and Real Counties. The bite was on FIRE and the fish were very active. Caught a nice variety of fish that had nice size and were fat! Longear,LM Bass,Guadalupe Bass,Bluegill,Redear,Redbreast,Rios,and even a nice Warmouth. River is in GREAT shape and according to current reports the Nueces got a "TON" of rain these past few days. Fish were all caught on worms using a bottom technique. Fish were holding close to grass beds and at the ends of currents. Caught well over 50 nice fish. A few were kept for a person that lives on the Nueces River who loves fish. Great people,super scenery,nice fish,and good places to eat. It just don't get any better!

Thanks guys for the replies. Great time to be fishing right now. Fish are in their fall feeding mode and are very active.

Thanks Gitter for the reply.  The White Bass bite is FANTASTIC on the lower end of the Nueces in Three Rivers.  There was a super run last year. Should be a GREAT run this year! River is in GREAT shape.

I think I'm going to take a day off when the white ruin starts next year and finally make it to the nueces. Fishing the run had been on my bucket list for a while now...
 Wishing I was in my kayak.

Thanks Doc for the reply! I was able to fish the run last winter and the bite was GREAT! With all the rain this year next years run should be GREAT as well.

Thanks Curtis for the reply! Spring is a good time to fish the Canyon. Fish are getting active. I would say Mid Spring to late spring would be the best time. Some fish will be in their spawn mode!
