Seasonal Activity Chart
Catfish
Lake Conroe is a premier destination for Texas catfish anglers, offering a diverse habitat that supports healthy populations of blues, channels, and flatheads. The key to success here is understanding the seasonal movements of the catfish as they follow their forage. Spring and early summer are prime times, as catfish move shallow to spawn. Focus on baited areas near creek channels and submerged timber, especially after a warming trend. Chicken liver, stink baits, and cut shad are all effective. As the water heats up, catfish will retreat to deeper waters near the river channel and main lake points. Drifting with live bait or using sonar to locate schools of baitfish and suspended catfish is a productive tactic during this time. A local tip: The FM 1097 bridge area is a popular spot, but be mindful of boat traffic. Also, check lake levels before you go, as they can fluctuate significantly.
