Parker Canyon Lake

Summary

Fished it all through 2008.  Caught several small Bass and one great big Bluegill (about a pound)!  The Bluegill was caught on a 3 hook Husky Jerk!  The Bass were caught on several different lures.  Not reliable enough to establish a pattern.  All my fishing is bank fishing as I do not have a boat.  Do NOT believe reports of Northern Pike in this lake.  They had some a few years back but after shocking the lake several times they are gone.  The store worker has not seen a Pike there in over 5 years.  Note the elevation on this one.  Always plan on it being cooler then the surrounding area.

 

Just take I 10 to SR83.  Follow SR83 and it will drop you at the lake.  Very well marked with signes.
