Lake Conroe
Fishing Report
On average, about 2,000 acres of the lake is covered with vegetation - either emergent, submergent or floating - particularly in the shallow water of the coves and creek arms. There's also a fair amount of flooded timer to be found around Cagle Recreation Area and upstream from Scotts Ridge. Late in the 70's there was an excessive amount of hydrilla in the lake and Grass Carp were introduced to manage the vegetation. Today, a Triploid Grass Carp Permit is in effect on this lake. If a grass carp is caught, it must be immediately returned to the water unharmed.
Local Species
- Largemouth Bass
