Canal Lakes was a nice place, right by the bridge in the middle of the diversion canal. Ray Sedgewick owned it and put me up there a several times when we fished BASS T's there. He sold it since then, so I'm not sure how it's been the past several years. It has a ramp/slips and a nice place to eat. Those bridge pilings can hold some fish, worth a look see. The gravel bar on the right just past the bridge heading South (by the chain link fence/power lines) is a good spot to work as well. The blow-throughs on both sides heading South at the end of the canal are great areas to work. (spawning/staging grounds) I like the North end of the lower lake around to Black's and on the other side to Angel's Cove. Good grass, spawning flats and some protection from the North winds. The Hatchery area around to the South of Angel's is very good as well. If it hasn't gotten muddy or the winds aren't kicking the Brickyard on the North side just west before entering the canal is a very good area with stump flats, ditches, and live trees. (key on the ditches at the edges w/ wood) I've stayed and eaten at Charlie's (or is it Harry's?) on the North end of the canal, too. It's got decent cabins and great location with great catfish and ramp/slips. The rock piles at the base of the channel markers right in front of Charlie's can be profitable also. Good luck!
