River Rodeo 2026 | Kids Out and About San Antonio

River Rodeo 2026

River Rodeo is a community-wide fishing challenge hosted by the San Antonio River Authority and the San Antonio River Foundation in partnership with Angler’s Atlas, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Fin Addict Angler Foundation, and the Brackenridge Park Conservancy. From April 4 through May 31, 2026, anglers of all experience levels are invited to fish the San Antonio River — from the Headwaters to the Mission Reach — and log their catches using the MyCatch app.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Fish the River. Log Your Catch. Make an Impact.

River Rodeo is more than a fishing competition. By submitting species, size, and general location data, participants contribute valuable information that supports fisheries research, river management, and conservation efforts along the San Antonio River.

Friendly Competition & Prizes

Participants can:

  • Compete across multiple live leaderboards

  • Stay eligible for prizes and random raffles

  • Track their catches throughout the season

  • Support citizen science while enjoying time outdoors

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or casting a line for the first time, River Rodeo celebrates the San Antonio River as a safe, clean, and enjoyable place to fish.
