Questions people ask about Canyon Lake

Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Canyon Lake.

Is it worth fishing Canyon Lake today?
7 out of 10 — good. Solid window. Be on the water early. The strongest stretch is 3:22 AM–5:22 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level.
What time should you fish Canyon Lake?
Today's major windows run 3:22 AM–5:22 AM and 3:44 PM–5:44 PM, with minor windows at 10:05 AM–11:05 AM and 10:16 PM–11:16 PM. Sunrise is 6:52 AM and sunset 8:24 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
What is the water temperature at Canyon Lake?
No gauge on Canyon Lake measures water temperature. US reservoir gauges report height, not temperature — so rather than estimate it, this page leaves it out and leans on the windows and the pressure trend instead.
What is the water level at Canyon Lake right now?
910.14 ft, read at 11:15 PM from USGS station 08167700. Over 24 hours it is up 0.05 ft.
Can you eat the fish you catch in Canyon Lake?
That is a health question, and it is answered officially rather than by us. Texas Department of State Health Services publishes the fish consumption advisory covering these waters, where an interactive viewer shows advisories and possession bans by waterbody. Read it before you keep a meal — we give no eating advice.
What size fish can you keep in TX?
It depends on the species, and several have slot limits rather than a simple minimum. Open to harvest today: red drum (redfish), spotted seatrout (speckled trout), black drum, southern flounder. Seasons here change mid-year by agency order, so the status is re-checked every morning.
