Rumors have been floating around at some our of local tournaments about B.A.S.S bringing the 2017 classic to Canyon lake in New Braunfels Tx, saying that the mayor has got the ball rolling already. Here is a quote from BASSEDITOR about it below. I was in some tackle manufacturers meetings in San Antonio last fall. That was the rumor at that meeting. I think it could happen. I won't say it will happen. But, I hope it does.
BASS guys spent a day on Canyon Lake the day before the tackle meetings.
San Antonio would be a great venue.

So other than its size, what would be wrong with Canyon Lake? I would think that an alright Texas bass lake would out produce a good northern bass lake.

I would be very surprised. My first thought was not big enough. But the classic is only 50 anglers, so it could happen. Im still very doubtful. VERY DOUBTFUL.

As much as we wold love to see a Texas Classic, we don't think San Antonio is heart of fishing in Texas. Great area, lots to do, though not near the anglers DFW to Houston has.

Travis maybe if it fills back up but I don't think you would ever see a classic on a lake less than 15 or 20 k acres.
