About Alamo River

As a river in California, United States, Alamo River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Alamo River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Flathead catfish

    Fish near structure like submerged logs, rock piles, and deep holes, especially during low light conditions, as flatheads are ambush predators.

  • For Channel catfish

    Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
