Fishing

Canyon Lake is one of the deepest lakes in Texas at an average of 43 feet, helping to create ideal fishing conditions. “Largemouth bass is the most popular and most abundant sportfish in the reservoir,” according to Texas Parks & Wildlife. “White bass and striped bass also provide an excellent fishery. Stripers provide excellent angling because of their growth potential and strong fighting characteristics. An annual TPWD stocking program maintains the fishery because striped bass do not successfully reproduce in this reservoir. Crappie fishing is generally poor, although occasionally good catches can be made, especially along standing timber in the river. Angling for redbreast sunfish can provide an excellent fishing experience for the family. Channel, blue, and flathead catfish are present in good numbers. A low density smallmouth bass fishery exists. These fish were stocked in the 1970s and 1980s and persist through natural reproduction. Fishing for smallmouth is better in the lower 1/3 of the reservoir.”

Boating and other amenities

Canyon Lake is known for its abundant water sports; you can pretty much traverse the lake in every way imaginable, and boaters can make use of the Canyon Lake Marina on the north shore, as well as boat ramps and boat rentals for those who have not yet bought their own vessel. Numerous other amenities make Canyon Lake an ideal place to spend time. The lake has about 80 miles of shoreline, with eight public parks and picnic areas and rich wildlife in the surrounding area. Go for a hike and you might spot a roadrunner, white tailed deer, or fox!
