Canyon Lake - Freshwater Fishing Report
CANYON LAKE: Water clear; Temp. N/A; 933':
The lake remains closed. The constant release of water at the rate of more than 5,000 cfs 24/7 is steadily dropping the lake toward 920' msl, the level at which the county judge has promised to reopen this lake. The Corps. of Engineers is predicting that magic number can
be reached by or before Labor Day if the release rate can be maintained.
