Fishing Report – Little Caney Creek, Sam Rayburn Reservoir Date: January 29, 2025 Conditions & Water Temp: Fishing in the Little Caney Creek section of Sam Rayburn Reservoir today was slow but steady, with water temperatures sitting at 58.6°F. Conditions were a bit tough, but patience paid off. Catch Details: Landed four bass, with the biggest weighing 3 lbs 9 oz. The bite wasn’t aggressive, so finesse was key. Tactics & Lures: • The most productive technique was using a weightless worm, letting it sink naturally before adding a few subtle twitches to create movement. • The bites were light and spaced out, requiring a slow and methodical approach. Final Thoughts: Bass seemed lethargic, likely due to cooler water temps, but a finesse presentation proved effective. Not the most action-packed day, but still a solid outing on Sam Rayburn. As temperatures start to warm, expect the bite to gradually improve. Would recommend sticking to slow-moving presentations and targeting areas with deeper structure until fish become more active. Tight lines! 🎣
