From this description you can see where its name comes from.
Canyon Lake is very popular for the incredible musky fishing.
Earlier in the year, from opening in June to August, the Musky are in a shallow pattern. During this time, the most successful fisherman use spinnerbaits, bucktails and topwater lures. Most of the bigger fish are caught in September and October when the Musky head to deeper water. Fishing is then concentrated more on trolling, casting the rocks, and using more live bait.
