Wimberley Fishing Forecast

Best time to fish Wimberley

Flow is the thing to check, not tides — the swimming holes are best a few days after good rain has cleared, and they shrink through a dry summer. Spring and fall are the prime hiking and riding months, and a storm anywhere in the upper Blanco watershed is reason enough to stay out of the water.

On any given day, the windows above are the honest answer: they weight the solunar periods (moon overhead and underfoot), first and last light, and they subtract for wind that makes the water unfishable and for lightning. A slow day still shows its best hour or two, because that’s when you’d go.

How the rating works

Every day gets a 0–100 score from the same data the rest of Salty Forecast runs on: wind carries the most weight (32%), because it decides whether you can even fish, then sky, barometer and moon phase — there’s no tide to score on fresh water, so those weights are redistributed rather than counted as zero. A falling barometer ahead of a front scores high; a hard post-frontal rise scores low. Nothing here is a black box — the factor bars above show exactly what helped and what hurt.

Generic solunar calculators give Wimberley the same “activity” times as a lake in Ohio, because they only look at the moon. The moon matters — it’s in here — but a 20 mph wind beats it every time, and that’s why this score reads the whole picture.

Common questions

Is today a good day to fish Wimberley?

The live rating refreshes every half hour on this page and on the Wimberley dashboard — wind, sky and barometer scored 0–100.

What time should I fish Wimberley today?

First light, last light, and the solunar periods (moon overhead or underfoot) are the reliable windows on this water.

How is this different from a solunar calendar?

Solunar tables only track the moon, so every town gets the same "activity" times. This rating starts with what actually cancels trips — wind and lightning — then adds barometric trend and the moon. When a day scores Prime here, it means the whole picture lines up, not just the calendar.
