Many fishermen have been finding dead and dying fish in the Lake for several weeks. The fish have been identified as tilapia. I contacted Mark A.Webb, District Supervisor, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Bryan Inland Fisheries Office and he advised me that the fish were “blue tilapia” an illegally introduced exotic species that do not withstand cold temperatures.

Lake Conroe December Fishing Report
With Christmas just around the corner, traffic on the Lake has been very light. Cloudy days with lots of fog and a little shower every now and then has kept most of the fishermen home; but, the fishing has been great. The Lake is just below pool and there is plenty of good fishing water on all the shorelines.

Hybrids feeding early on shad early near the dam area of Lake Conroe. Watch the birds. The Lake is just below pool and there is plenty of good fishing water on all the shorelines. The water temperature continues to fluxuate in the high 50's to low 60's with the Southeast wind warming the water the past few days. The wind has been calm to 5-10 making fishing very easy in all areas of the Lake. Early and late fishermen have found the lake very smooth to slick.

Black Bass are feeding in the new grass and cover next to the bank that has grown up while the lake was low and has now filled to pool. The water is clear and the fish move off pretty early to 8 to 11 feet of water. Texas rigged worms in plum, plum/blue, watermelon red and black have been good baits. The fish on the points are on the edge of the hydrilla beds. Shad colored crank bait have proven to be successful on the rocks and along bulkheads.
