Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:14 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 New Braunfels

Fishing in New Braunfels, Texas revolves around three primary waters: the cold, clear Guadalupe River, the spring-fed Comal River, and nearby Canyon Lake. Together they offer a mix of river and reservoir fishing for Guadalupe bass, largemouth, seasonal rainbow trout, plus catfish and panfish. Clear water and strong recreational traffic mean success comes from timing, stealth, and matching the natural forage.

Seasonal patterns drive how and where you fish. Late winter through early spring sees rainbow trout heavily stocked in the Guadalupe tailrace below Canyon Lake; this is prime time for light-line trout tactics in cold water. As water warms in March–May, Guadalupe bass and largemouth slide shallow to spawn along rocky banks and flats on both the rivers and Canyon Lake. Summer brings low, clear flows and heavy tubing traffic on the Guadalupe and Comal, so fishing early and late becomes critical. Fall is often the most consistent, with stable flows, cooling water, and aggressive bass feeding on shad and minnows throughout the system.

The Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake is famous for trout and Guadalupe bass. Target trout in deeper runs, riffle seams, and below obvious current breaks. Micro-jigs, small in-line spinners, and 1/16–1/8 oz marabou jigs under a small float work well; natural colors like olive, brown, and black are consistent producers in the clear water. Fly anglers do well with nymphs (pheasant tails, hare’s ears, midges) under indicators, plus woolly buggers swung through deeper slots. For Guadalupe bass, focus on chunk rock banks, laydowns, and current breaks; downsized suspending jerkbaits, 3" soft-plastic swimbaits, and small craw imitations on 1/8 oz jigheads are reliable.

The Comal River, one of the shortest rivers in Texas, fishes smaller and more technical. Ultra-clear water demands finesse: 4–6 lb fluorocarbon, small hooks, and compact lures. Target eddies, bridge pilings, and shaded banks for Guadalupe bass, Rio Grande cichlids, and sunfish. Tiny marabou jigs, 1"–2" grubs, and live worms or crickets under a small float excel here. Sight-fishing is common; long casts and keeping a low profile dramatically increase your hookups.

Canyon Lake offers deep, clear reservoir fishing just upstream of town. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass orient to rock, ledges, and flooded timber. Early and late in the day, work topwaters and walking baits over points and submerged humps. As the sun gets high, switch to Carolina-rigged soft plastics, drop-shots, and football jigs in 15–35 feet. White bass, stripers, and hybrids roam open water chasing shad; watch for birds and surface busts, then cast spoons, tail-spinners, or small swimbaits into the action. Night fishing around lighted docks with small jigs and minnows is effective for crappie and schooling whites.

Across all New Braunfels waters, a few tactical tips stand out:

  • Fish weekdays or dawn/dusk to avoid heavy recreational traffic, especially in summer.
  • Use light fluorocarbon leaders in clear water to increase bites.
  • Downsize lures when flows are low and skies are bluebird.
  • Cover water efficiently in the rivers with small kayaks or inflatables, working every current seam and piece of mid-river structure.
  • On Canyon Lake, let wind direction dictate which banks and points you fish; wind-blown areas often concentrate bait and feeding bass.

With adaptable tactics and attention to water clarity, flow, and seasonal movements, the New Braunfels area consistently rewards anglers with quality bass, trout, and panfish action in classic Texas Hill Country settings.
