Conroe Fishing Report

Feb 11, 2026

GREAT. Water stained; 54.4 degrees; 1.19 feet under pool. Lake Conroe water temperatures briefly dipped into the low 50s before climbing back into the upper 50s, and fishing has been good overall as baitfish shift and predators follow. Catfish are active from shallow water out to 50 feet, with baited holes along creek channel ledges producing well; drifting natural baits, targeting soft bottom flats, and fishing wind-blown coves have all been effective. Bass fishing shows a split pattern, with some fish holding deep and feeding on shad–responding to deep-diving crankbaits and jerkbaits–while others are moving shallow with early bedding activity beginning. Crappie fishing has been good when schools can be located, though weather swings have them moving; the north end is producing limits in 3-8 feet on jigs and minnows, while the south end bite is more inconsistent in 12-34 feet. Report by Brad Doyle with Bradley’s Guide Service. Hybrid stripers are still being caught dead-sticking in 22-44 feet, though that pattern may fade as temperatures rise; slabs, spoons, and large minnows or shad are also working, with many juvenile hybrids mixed in with white bass, so check identification features if needed. As conditions stabilize, the multi-species bite should continue improving. Always wear your life jacket. Report by Mike Cason, Fishical Therapy.
