Canyon Lake - Freshwater Fishing Report
CANYON LAKE
Condtions are perfect for the early morning topwater & subsurface action we're having; water very clear, 78 degrees and normal elevation. Main lake sloping points and flats with flooded buck brush and willows are holding largemouth to 5+ lbs., white bass & stripers to 24". Just before first good light try Zara
Spooks, Super Pop R's and Terminator buzzbaits. Watch for fish chasing shad. You can catch 10-20 bass, whites and stripers before daylight. At and just after daylight switch to subsurface lures: chrome Rat-L-Traps
or 2" Lit'l Fishie Shads and the action will continue.
After full light, move to banklines in 4'-10' and work Terminator Blue Shad spinnerbaits & plastic jerkbaits
through the buckbrush and trees. The best action is before daylight until midmorning and slows until late evening. JR'S GUIDE SERVICE www.jrguidesevice.com Is the most experienced/recommended, licensed and ONLY FULLTIME guide service on the lake.

Just before daylight we target largemouth, spotted bass and smallmouth areas catching blacks between 3-8 lbs. on a topwater bite using Terminator "Tiny-T" buzzbaits, Spitfire, Berkley poppers and Pop R's. At daylight switch to 2" Lit'l Fishie Shads, Devil's Tongues and Scoundrel worms.
