Canyon Lake - Freshwater Fishing Report
Lake LBJ
The action on largemouth & spotted bass has greatly improved
with all of the rain recently. Top water action has come on strong in the past 3 days:
Both species are running bank lines and seawalls in 2'-6'.
Bone or shad Pop R's, Albino Lake Fork Magic Shad, silver
1/4 oz. Terminator buzzbaits and Yellow Bass Rat-L-Traps are working throughout the day under cloudy skies. If the sun pops through, fish immediately head for cover; e.g., stumps, laydowns, brushpiles or tree tops. In water along breaklines (3'-8') a "natural" Creme Scoundrel worm on wacky rig works well. In thicker cover, a pumpkin Minnie Bucket lizard or watermelon/chartreuse Creme Scremer worms
on Texas rig pitched or flipped into the thick stuff & just barely jiggled produces very good fish.
Canyon Lake
All of the recent rain should generate a major change in the
lake conditions; i.e., ph, oxygen, color/visibility. This lake is so very clear the majority of the year that anytime
high water upriver produces cloudy or murky conditions, the largemouth and smallmouth will move up from their deep haunts of 12'-25' and hold relatively shallow throughout the day. Early morning top water action along secondary
creek points and bluff ledges is good on silver 1/4 oz.
Terminator buzzbaits, Jade Stone Rat-L-Traps & Zara Puppies.
White Terminator 1/4 oz. spinnerbaits or Lake Fork Magic Shads worked through submerged trees on bluffs. Deeper, fish will taking crawdad or blue Creme Super Tubes rigged
on 1/8th oz. heads.
All species (striper, whites, crappie) should activate & remain so for the duration of the improved conditions.
