About the fishing here
Amistad Reservoir straddles the Rio Grande on the Texas-Mexico border near Del Rio, a huge, clear-water lake built across flooded limestone canyons. It has built a national reputation as a world-class largemouth bass fishery, with striped bass and catfish adding to the draw in open water. Because it sits on an international border, rules differ between the US and Mexican sides, so check which water you are fishing. A Texas fishing license is required on the US side.
The usual catches here are Striped Bass, Black Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Blue Catfish, Bluegill and Channel Catfish.
Striped Bass is generally most active around Apr-May, Oct-Nov. The best windows are usually dawn and dusk.
A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.

About this water
Amistad Reservoir is a reservoir on the Rio Grande at its confluence with the Devils River 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Del Rio, Texas. The lake is bounded by Val Verde County on the United States side of the international border and by the state of Coahuila on the Mexican side of the border; the American shoreline forms the Amistad National Recreation Area. The reservoir was formed in 1969 by the construction of Amistad Dam. The dam and lake are managed jointly by the governments of the United States and Mexico through the International Boundary and Water Commission. The name of the dam and lake is the Spanish word for "friendship". The reservoir is also known as Lake Amistad.
