Located barely more than an hour’s drive from San Antonio, Choke Canyon Reservoir is among Texas’ best big bass lakes and perhaps the biggest bass fishing secret in the country. Since it is surrounded by state parkland, Choke Canyon is devoid of any shoreside development. This lack of development has certainly aided in Choke’s relative anonymity. It has also prevented the lake from hosting nationally televised bass tournaments – which are often responsible for spreading the word about hot bass lakes. So, despite producing an incredible amount of 5 to 10-pound bass in recent years, Choke Canyon sees relatively little fishing pressure.
