Canyon Lake is looking good right now at 89% capacity.
For the best fishing at Canyon Lake go out to the Boulder Recreation area and fish off the pier. Here you will find a fishing pond within the lake where boats are not allowed. You an catch bluegill, largemouth bass, walleye and channel catfish.
The bass are hitting on plastic worms like Robo Worms on a drop shot. Look for overhanging vegetation.
The walleye prefer a chunk of night crawler on a jig. They also hang out near the steep, shaded submerged rocks.
The bluegills are in the back coves and are biting on worms.
The catfish are hitting the plastic worms as well but also try their favorites like hot dogs and chicken liver.

Canyon Lake elevation is around 1650 feet and is 94% full.
Great fishing is still coming from Canyon Lake with anglers reporting that fish are lively and healthy. Bluegill, bass and catfish are all biting and if your lucky, maybe a rainbow trout will be on the end of your line.
Some of the top spots for boats are: Beer Can Point, Beaver Landing, Mormon Flat, the mouth of First Water and LaBarge Cove near the bridge. If you’re shore fishing try the Boulder recreation area, Acacia picnic site, Teddy Bear Point, Mormon Flat and Beaver Landing.
Get out in the mornings, the bite seems to be over by noon.
For best results: Head over to Beer Can Point, Beaver Landing or Teddy Bear Point with your boat and a 1/8 oz. Kastmaster on your line. If you’re shore fishing go to Acacia picnic site with worms on a bobber.

Lake elevation is 1,658 feet, which is 96-percent full.
Fishing is a little inactive compared to April, at least for largemouth bass.
Channel catfish seem to be biting mildly but the need a lot of coaxing. Try dead minnows, silver rattle traps, and night crawler.
600,000 walleye sac fry were stocked end of April.

* Closed to boating.
Shoreline is ok but be careful. Water levels are dropping rapidly with a drawdown by SRP and the lake will be lowered to 50 feet for routine dam maintenance.
All recreation boating will be closed during the drawdown which will last until late June.
