I have decided, all things considered, that I'll probably be moving to Canyon when I retire in a year or so. I have had some very encouraging PMs. If anyone lives on or near the lake, I would appreciate any info that you might care to share.
thanks again and in the future, capt david

Im from new braunfels and as far as fishing going canyon is one of the slowest lakes around thins area. Dunlap is way better fishing than canyon if you like this area

What fish are on Dunlap, in numbers? I checked the P/W website and they don't mention whites/hybrids/stripers, or trout. capt davod

I would consider Richland Chambers. Much better fishing and you get two for one Cedar Creek is near. Both really great lakes.
When the bite gets tough, fish harder.

I love the trout fishing area near Sattler. That is the best luck I have had in the Canyon area. It's very serene and peaceful and there are some large fish in the trophy area. I just moved into a house at Canyon and am seriously considering hiring a guide for a few trips to learn some tricks on the lake itself.

Dunlap has good population of Bass and bream. It has some cats though I find them extrememly difficult to find except on Jugs. Very very few stripers and crappie, never heard of anyone catching whites but that doesn't mean they haven't. Too far downstream for trout.

Dunlap is great for kids with perch fishing. Not so good for anything else.

I recently retired and moved to Canyon Lake, haven't tried fishing yet. Think I will need to hire a guide to get some pointers. btw we just love living here it's so peaceful.

I 100% agree with Hendo. Yea they are in there, but go out and try to catch one. You will have to do an awful lot of fishing to boat one.

Gosh, guess whoever caught that 20 lbder didn't want to claim the record. Pro Guide Sean Kubiak says he holds the Dunlap striper record at 14 ponds, caught by accident while bass fishing.
