**Rio Grande Fishing Report - January 19th**
Well folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure here with today's fishing report for the Rio Grande area. Let me break down what's happening on the water right now.
**Weather and Conditions**
We're looking at some beautiful weather today. Sunrise was this morning at 7:24 AM and you've got until 6:07 PM before the sun dips below the horizon. Conditions in the area are clear and calm, which means visibility should be excellent for sight casting if you're into that sort of thing.
**Tide and Solunar Activity**
Here's the thing about Rio Grande fishing—we've got excellent solunar times working in our favor. Your major feeding times are running from 8:31 AM to 10:31 AM and again from 9:01 PM to 11:01 PM. If you can't make those windows, the minor times from 3:49 AM to 4:49 AM and 2:10 PM to 3:10 PM will still produce. Today's rated as an average day overall, so you'll want to hit those prime feeding windows.
**What's Been Biting**
Based on recent catches in our waters, cichlids have been active—anglers landed one recently using a worm that weighed in at 1.68 pounds. Black crappie are also solid right now, with recent catches around 4.40 pounds. Channel catfish are cooperating too, with recent reports of 11.96-pound specimens taken on cut bait.
**Best Lures and Bait**
For the crappie, fly rod patterns like the Death to Crappie Clouser and wooly buggers are absolutely deadly. If you're throwing conventional tackle, moe-beta lures work great. For catfish, cut bait is your bread and butter—bluegill works excellent. Crawfish imitations like the Briminator are pulling in some solid fish right now too.
**Hot Spots**
Focus your efforts on the clearer sections of the Rio Grande where recent reports mentioned cichlids and crappie biting in clear waters. Those deeper holes near structure are where the catfish congregate, especially on the cuts.
