Flash flood warning for the Rio Grand near Dryden. Expected to crest at 8.7’ above flood stage.  got a long way to go and I doubt we get a significant rise from any of them, but great to see all three catch a drink. Yep, looks like Amistad might be the only one to benefit a little. But, they’ll just let it out, again.

That next one is now predicted to take almost the same path. This could get interesting! Yup actually looks like it'll skirt the Mexican coast and go in around Brownsville. Could definitely make a difference especially so close to this one. I have no idea what will happen.. But I like the way you guys think...

It is incredible how dry south Texas, especially the Frio river basin was before this storm. Widespread coverage of over 5" in the drainage and the flow is relatively non existent.

I driven over the Frio on 35 south many times when the river was a half a mile wide..
Choke comes up six inches..
When Max's cafe has water in it.. Then you gonna catch some at Choke..

Not six feet..
We're up almost two feet so far.. Still coming up and we should catch about three to five feet overall..
Too early to tell..

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I'm upping my prediction to 6'. Two bigger flows have already gone through Laredo with a third slowly tapering off now.

Last time I was there I caught a spinnerbait fish off the old church. I think it still has a ways to go.

Last time I was there I caught a spinnerbait fish off the old church. I think it still has a ways to go. That was about the time I killed my last Mexico Buck about 10 miles from there. It was kind of Leary hunting over there about that time. Maybe one day I will go back. Deer hunting is just as good as the bass fishing. Theres nothing like Fishing and Hunting in south Texas or Mexico. Truely a sportsman paradise. If you can afford it
