Canyon Lake with its steep rocky banks, isolated flooded timber, and clear water typical of a highland reservoir produces some excellent fishing. As you move up the river the water typically becomes more stained, and its typicall to use the slightly stained water to you advantage when fishing largemouth on Canyon Lake. Typcical cover for game fish on Canyon Lake includes lake rock ledges, rock piles, steep drop-offs, flooded timber, and a few marinas. The river portion of the reservoir is dominated by flooded timber, rock ledges, and laydowns. When the water level is high, largemouth bass anglers typically concentrate on the flooded terrestrial vegetation.

No Reports are available for Canyon Lake at this time.

Largemouth Bass
66 degrees in in the largemouth bass prime water temperature range and fishing should be good right now. Baitfish are much more active in this water temperature and the largemouth bass will be feeding aggressively throughout the day. This is a great time of year to be on the water.

Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass are generally their most active at 66. Baitfish are much more active in this water temperature and the smallmouth bass will be feeding aggressively throughout the day.

Spotted Bass
In the 66 degrees range, spotted bass are generally their most active at this water temperature. Baitfish are much more active in this water temperature and the spotted bass will be feeding aggressively throughout the day.

Sauger
This is the water temperature of choice for sauger. They are feeding well and moving in patterns that should be fairly easy to pick up and capitalize on today. Baitfish are not at the peak of activity but they will be in good supply in the deeper water. The lake is really turning on this time of year and the fish should be biting well.

Walleye
This is the water temperature of choice for walleye. They are feeding well and moving in patterns that should be fairly easy to pick up and capitalize on today. Baitfish are not at the peak of activity but they will be in good supply in the deeper water. The lake is really turning on this time of year and the fish should be biting well.

Fishingnotes.com has developed a highly accurate and sophisticated water temperature modeling algorithm to determine the mean daily water temperature based on climatic and geophysical data for this lake. Some of the variables used to determine the mean daily water temperature include past weather trends, solar radiation, evaporation, lake size, and lake geometry.

Currently the accuracy of the estimated mean water temperature is within 4 degrees Fahrenheit of measured temperature value in approximately 90% of our lakes. However Fishingnotes.com is continuously updating our water temperature algorithms to improve the accuracy. You can help make the estimated water temperature for this lake more accurate by providing the water temperature readings when you are out on the water. To do this add a fishing report below with the actual water temperature at this lake. This will provide helpful data to correlate the water temperature algorithms with.

Temperature: 61

Barometric Pressure: 29.99 (Normal)
With the barometric pressure normal it’s time to practice on some new fishing techniques. Don’t get set on one type or specific bait. Experiment different retrieves, speeds and depths. The fishing may not be excellent, but finding a good fishing pattern can result in a excellent day on the water. When you find something that works when the barometric pressure is normal, you should be able to duplicate enough to have an excellent day of fishing.

Wind Speed: North at 05 Knots (6 MPH)
