Montgomery County The Great Outdoors

Lake Conroe covers 20,118 acres on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River in Montgomery and Walker Counties. The reservoir was created in 1973. Largemouth bass are the most-sought species, with anglers reporting very good catch rates. Channel catfish are the most abundant fish in the lake. Hybrid striped bass and crappie are also popular targets.

Note that a Triploid Grass Carp Permit is in effect on Lake Conroe. If you catch a grass carp, you must release it immediately. Special bass regulations also apply — check current TPWD rules before fishing. Public boat ramps are available. Contact the San Jacinto River Authority at 936-588-1111 for facility details.
