Comal is still low but flowing, we have had a little rain this week but not enough to make any difference to the lakes and rivers. Last I heard the visibility in Canon lake is 10-15'ish down to 40 feet. then opens up again below 60'.
We dove the Comal the last weekend of August. Depths ranged from 5ft to 12ft. Viz was probably 8-10 feet. Lots of swimmers and tubers to deal with. We got there early on Sunday AM and had it pretty much to ourselves for a while.
They had the road to Hinman (sp?) park closed, so we had to park in the adjacent parking lot (next to the tennis courts) and walk the gear over. It was a hike for sure, but worth it to us. We walked to the last staircase, then swam up from there. The kiddos got tired around the train trestle and we started our dives from there. Lots of fun.

Thanks Jay.. I will make a visit once I get to town. Whats the current temp?.. I was thinking about bringing my 2mm shorty and/or 3mm Full. Any advice?

You would probably be fine with that, the year round is around 72 degrees but with the low flow the sun is heating the water up nicely. If you're cold natured do the full. I dove the Comal New Years Day in a 3mm. I think the air temp and water was about the same that day. I would suggest doing just the Hinnman Island area it will be the deepest and easier since you're solo.
