Nested on the Guadalupe River between San Antonio and Austin, Canyon Lake ensures good fishing throughout the year. Its rocky banks and flooded timber provide a perfect hideout for plenty of species and skillful Canyon Lake fishing guides will leave no stone unturned to help you catch headliners.
Whereas White Bass, Striped Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Sunfish are among the top targeted species in the area, Largemouth Bass dominate these waters. They guarantee an action-packed experience with sudden runs for cover and aggressive fights, so it’s no surprise that they’re the most sought-after fish.
Largemouth Bass are not picky predators, so a variety of lures and fishing techniques will work wonders. You can start casting for them as early as spring. The situation is slightly different with species like White Bass, where you’ll be most successful fishing the surface with spinners during the fall.
Located only an hour’s drive from San Antonio and Austin, Canyon Lake is ideal for both half day and full day fishing trips. Shorter trips are popular among families with children, while more seasoned anglers opt for spending the entire day on the water chasing trophy catches. If you visit Canyon Lake in December, you may also be in for a treat with the traditional Boat Parade of Lights.
Regardless of the trip you choose, Canyon Lake fishing guides promise to cater to your needs and make sure that you get the hang of the most common fishing techniques, like light tackle and fly fishing.
