• Where to Fish on Tanque los Cuates

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Tanque los Cuates gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 84°F at the top of summer and 58°F at the bottom of winter. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to Tanque los Cuates by conditions rather than dates.
