Houston Lake

GOOD. Water clear; 71 degrees; 0.09 feet above pool. Fishing on Lake Houston is heating up as water temperatures rise, making it an excellent time to target multiple species. Largemouth bass are being caught in 2-4 feet of water under dead lily pads and around cypress trees near adjacent drop-offs, with spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and chatterbaits in white and green producing strong results. White bass have pushed into Spring, Cypress, Peach, and Caney creeks as well as the East Fork, where they’re hitting small rattle traps, curly-tail jigs, and Rooster tails in white, black, and chartreuse; focus on pockets, holes, and eddies, especially behind laydowns. Crappie are holding tight to structure in the muddy East Fork and Lucious Bayou and are biting hand-tied jigs and small dark plastics. Catfish are active along creek and river drop-offs on punch bait and fresh shad. Always wear your kill switch and stay prepared for changing weather conditions.
