The water levels this year are low all over the place, this is due to an early spring and lack of rain. When this happens there is a lower quantity of run off from melting snow and rain that goes into the lakes. Canyon lake is roughly two and a half feet low, they have not been able to lower the damn at forest lake due to low water levels on forest lake and the connecting bodies of water. Wen the water levels change like this it can be a factor on how the fishing is on larger lakes, as the the water rises it gives the fish more area making them more spread out, wen the water lowers it tends to make them school up as they have less area to go. However on smaller lakes like Canyon it does not normally make a great difference as the fishing tends to be consistent.
