Angling Opportunities
Crappie is the most popular fish in Granger Lake. Large numbers of legal-size crappie are present. Channel, flathead, and blue catfish are present in good numbers. White bass are also present and provide a consistent fishery.
Cover & Structure
Granger Lake is dominated by flooded willows, stumps, and laydowns. Generally speaking, it is a very shallow reservoir with turbid water. The best cover can be found in the old creek channels, main-lake humps and ridges, and up the San Gabriel River.
Tips & Tactics
Crappie fishing is at its best in the spring. The fall can be good as well. In February, crappie move to shallow water in preparation to spawn. They start spawning around 56 F; during this time they can be found in water as shallow as a foot deep. fishermen should concentrate their efforts near flooded trees and laydowns, which are found in abundance in the creeks and upper end of the reservoir.
