Lake Conroe Fishing Report & Bass Guide

We do not have a lot of specific catch details from the lake this week, but the overall picture is a classic fall transition. The water level is continuing a slow, steady decline, recently dropping past 199.5 feet. Cooler nights and shorter days are pushing the lake firmly into its November pattern, and the main driver right now is baitfish shifting locations.\n\nAs the shad move back into the creeks and up the river channel, the largemouth are following them. The upper lake is usually the place to be this time of year, especially around the standing timber. Down on the lower end, you might find fish transitioning around the bulkheads and boat docks, but the most reliable action usually follows the bait migration up north.\n\nFor this weekend, focus on the standing timber up the river or the backs of creeks where you find active shad. A squarebill crankbait or a spinnerbait worked through the wood is your best bet for putting numbers in the boat before winter sets in.
