Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:5 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Los Lunas

Fishing in Los Lunas, New Mexico revolves around the middle Rio Grande and its web of ditches, drains, and small ponds that cut through this agricultural valley. Anglers target catfish, bass, carp, and seasonal trout within a short drive of town, using straightforward rigs and light to medium spinning tackle. The key to success here is understanding flows, water clarity, and how seasonal shifts push fish between the main river channel and slower backwaters.

Seasonal patterns are dictated by runoff and irrigation demands. In late winter and early spring, when flows are generally lower and clearer, catfish and carp concentrate in the deeper bends and holes of the Rio Grande; this is a prime time for bank anglers using bait on bottom rigs. As snowmelt increases flows in late spring, look for calmer current seams behind islands, bridge pilings, and riprap. Summer brings warm water and active warmwater species; night fishing for channel catfish with cut bait or stink bait becomes a staple, while early mornings and evenings are best for bass and panfish in side channels and slower eddies. Fall sees more stable flows and cooler water, which often sparks a final feeding push for catfish and bass and better daytime action.

Habitat types around Los Lunas are varied for a desert river. The main Rio Grande features long, sandy runs broken up by deeper scour holes below bends, drops near bridge abutments, and riprap banks protecting road crossings. Side channels and irrigation return flows create gentle eddies with softer current that attract baitfish and, in turn, bass and panfish. The bosque (riverside cottonwood corridor) hides undercut banks and submerged wood that hold catfish and carp. Nearby canals and small ponds typically offer slower, warmer water that’s ideal for bluegill, green sunfish, and occasional largemouth bass, especially where there’s vegetation or culverts providing current and shade.

Effective techniques here favor simple, durable setups suited to mixed species. For channel and flathead catfish in the Rio Grande, a 7–8 ft medium-heavy spinning or casting rod, 12–20 lb line, and a sliding sinker rig with a 1–3 oz egg sinker is a practical standard. Baits like cut shad, nightcrawlers, shrimp, and commercial dip baits produce well when fished in deeper holes or along current seams at dusk and after dark. Carp anglers do well with hair rigs or basic bait hooks tipped with canned corn or dough baits, cast to the edges of current or into quieter backwaters.

Bass and panfish around Los Lunas respond to downsized presentations. In canals and ponds, a 6–7 ft medium-light spinning rod with 6–10 lb line handles small crankbaits, soft plastics, and inline spinners. Work the shady sides of bridges, culverts, and any visible structure. For white bass or walleye in deeper runs and below constrictions in the river, small jigheads tipped with soft-plastic minnows or curly-tail grubs are productive when hopped along bottom with the current. When trout are stocked in nearby ponds or slower stretches, anglers score using small spoons, spinners, and dough-style trout baits fished near the bottom or under a light slip bobber.

Tactical tips for Los Lunas focus on reading the river and timing. Move frequently until you contact fish; don’t spend more than 20–30 minutes in a spot with no bites. Watch water color—slightly stained, greenish-brown conditions often outproduce extremely clear or chocolate-muddy flows. In summer, prioritize low-light periods and night sessions for bigger catfish and more comfortable temperatures. Wear sturdy footwear for walking riprap and sandy banks, and always check water levels before committing to a bank spot, as irrigation releases can shift flows quickly around Los Lunas.
