Anglers have been having good success at Canyon lake throughout the winter, catching large bass, stocked trout, and catfish, as always. Bass are the most targeted fish by anglers, as the lake is home to some of the biggest in the state. Rigging swimbaits and soft plastic worms (of 3''+) on a Carolina, Texas, Dropshots, or Wacky rigs, has worked well lately. The trout in the lake are stocked monthly by AZGFD, and angler have found the spinners and jigs work well. Fly fishermen should try wolly buggars and leeches. Catfish are still enticed by the same things as always, try either live bait or bait that is well scented; the go to's are nightcrawlers, stinkbaits, and chicken livers. It is best to fish the lake from a boat or kayak, as there isn't much shoreline available. There are a few docks to fish from, and the limited available shoreline should be enough for anyone persistent on fishing from the shore
