Because the grass is just getting established. Canyon is way better now than 10 yrs ago. If the grass stays I expect the fish weights to increase. This above, it hasn’t had the good thick grass that it has now for very long (seems like it’s been 3-4 years, but might be wrong on that) and there is a FB page of canyon lake homeowner’s that are fighting to get it removed. It’s been putting out quite a few 5-7 pounders this year and that hasn’t been all that common in years past. Holy smokes. Guess I’ll go fish it this month when I’m home I think they said there was only 1 ramp open and it gets to be a zoo, obviously.

It should have less of a crowd

I've not fished the lakes mentioned but fishing any lake w/ grass is waaaaaayyyyy better than no grass lakes. Ex - Joe Pool and Cedar Creek

From what I read on FB, those Canyon lake bass are always biting like “chow dogs”! If you’re on the canyon pages, you know what that means, that guy cracks me up.
25lb stringers are common in tournaments there now, best lake in the area, it’s ON FIRE!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 might as well tear it up, before the grass is gone.

I used to bank fish from the rocks by the dam. jig/pig or light t rig worms. this was about 1981 I think. used to be some huge striper in there too, caught a few in the river below the dam that went over 25#. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/06/full-33597-185154-scan.jpg1.jpg)

Ahhhh, the Hop and his sleeping on a picnic table with the alligators trying to get him. When you guys get those 10 pounder’s figured out at Canyon, I’m buying waypoints.

Rumor has it for the last several years a group had been moving larger bass from Choke to Canyon … that’s how the hydrilla got so good, plus newborn baby gators regurgitated by the larger bass. True rumor.
