Fish species in Falcon Reservoir

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Falcon is a largemouth bass lake with broad, sloping banks and cover that changes sharply with water level. Channel catfish offer a useful second target.

Where and how to fish

At lower levels, study rock piles, standing timber and submerged roadbeds. Higher water puts more brush within reach. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits and Texas- or Carolina-rigged worms suit those different targets. During hot weather, give topwaters a try early or late. Shad or prepared bait can produce catfish without spending the day casting.

Access and time at the lake

Arroyo Veleno is a county launch around mid-lake. Falcon State Park provides another ramp near the downstream end, plus tent and RV camping. Check current launch conditions before towing. Falcon straddles the international border, so plan the water you will fish and check the applicable rules.
