Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:8 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Roswell

Fishing in Roswell, New Mexico centers on the Pecos River and nearby reservoirs carved out of the high desert. Around town, the Pecos, small community ponds, and irrigation canals offer quick-hit sessions before or after work, while larger waters within an easy drive provide serious bass, catfish, and walleye potential. Water levels and clarity swing with irrigation demand and summer storms, so successful anglers stay flexible and move to where current, structure, and bait intersect.

Seasonal patterns around Roswell hinge on water temperature. In late winter and early spring, bass and crappie slide from deep wintering areas toward staging banks and channel edges. Slow-rolled spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, and compact jigs are productive along the Pecos River's deeper bends and at the upper ends of area lakes where slightly stained water warms first. Stocked rainbow trout bite aggressively on PowerBait, salmon eggs, and small in-line spinners whenever water temps stay cool.

By late spring, spawning activity peaks. Look for largemouth bass on protected flats, backs of coves, and gentle gravel banks, especially where submerged brush or riprap adds cover. Soft plastics—Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, and wacky-rigged stickbaits—excel around flooded mesquite, laydowns, and boat docks. Crappie stack on vertical structure like timber, bridge pilings, and brush piles; small tube jigs and minnows under a fixed float are reliable producers.

Summer in Roswell is hot and bright, so fish push to deeper structure and shaded cover. On lakes, work main-lake points, ledges, and submerged roadbeds early and late with deep-diving crankbaits, Carolina rigs, and football jigs. Midday, focus tight to heavy shade: bridge riprap, steep banks, and undercut edges along the Pecos. Channel and blue catfish offer consistent night fishing; set cut shad, chicken liver, or prepared baits on slip-sinker rigs along current seams, outside river bends, and the heads of reservoirs where fresh flow carries scent downstream.

Fall brings some of the best multi-species action. Cooling nights push baitfish shallow, and bass, walleye, and white bass follow. Cover windblown banks and points with medium-diving crankbaits, swimbaits, and topwater walking baits at dawn and dusk. Carp and panfish remain active well into late fall; simple float rigs with worms or corn catch steady numbers in canals and slower Pecos stretches, making them ideal targets for beginners or quick urban sessions.

Key habitat types around Roswell include:

  • River bends and current breaks on the Pecos, which gather catfish, bass, and carp.
  • Rocky riprap and bridge abutments that attract baitfish, crappie, and gamefish year-round.
  • Brushy coves and flooded mesquite in area lakes for bass and crappie.
  • Irrigation canals and small ponds that hold stocked trout, catfish, and sunfish, especially in cooler months.

Presentation speed is critical in Roswell's often-clear, pressured waters. In bright conditions, downsize line, switch to natural colors, and slow your retrieve. When wind muddies the water, move shallower, upsize baits, and lean on vibration—spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and rattling crankbaits. Always pay attention to wind direction and any inflowing water; in this desert environment, even subtle current or fresh runoff can concentrate fish and dramatically improve the bite.
