Canyon Lake - Freshwater Fishing Report
LAKE LBJ
Weather is hampering fishing and few fishermen are out.
Lake and weather conditions are making fishing difficult,
especially on the lower end; from Horseshoe Bay to midlake
water color is chocolate milk and 48 degrees. Constant cold fronts and wind is keeping it stirred up. Some creeks are fishable as is the upper river arms. LARGEMOUTH are holding tight to isolated cover and rock piles along 8' to 12' breaklines but are mostly inactive until the sun has warmed the water a degree or two about midday. 1/4 or 3/8 oz. pumpkin or watermelon Terminator jigs, chartreuse Devil's Tongues and 3" Creme Super Tubes worked on a very slow presentation will work.
STRIPERS and WHITE BASS are schooling up on rocky points on channel turns. Try drifting live minnows or vertically jigging Horizon Pirk Minnows.
CRAPPIE are very slow, holding over brush piles in 16'-20' feet on minnows and 1/32 oz. Curb's Crappie Jigs.
Canyon Lake
Fishing in general is slow with few fishermen out due to weather.
LARGEMOUTH are fair along chunk rock banks from midmorning
until about midafternoon using 3/8 oz. pumpkin Terminator
jigs, Spider Jigs and crawfish or pumpkin Creme Super Tubes.
SMALLMOUTH are holding over submerged rock jetties and boulders on flats in 6'-15' with distinct preference for chartreuse Devil's Tongues, chartreuse/pepper Creme Super Tubes and pumpkin Scoundrel worms.
STRIPERS and WHITE BASS have moved to midlake creeks and humps in 20'-30' preparing for a spawing run when water temps. reaches 55 or above. Drifting live bait or jigging
Horizon Prik Minnows, Curb's striper jigs and Sassy Shads
will produce a fish or two.
