Went to Converse Lake to see how the recent rains have helped it. The Lake is in good condition and has filled up a lot since I was last there in October. I fished from 3pm till 5:30pm and located some small Gills. Caught ten of em fishing off of the bottom using worms. Also caught a small bass about 10 inches in length. Fish were in pretty good shape. All were caught on ultra light tackle and were released to fight again. A simply way to just relax. fish

Thanks Gitter. I think those trees provide some great cover for a lot of those fish. That is one reason it keeps a good population of Gills and Bass. Providing we keep getting some decent rain this winter Converse Lake should be super this spring.

Both Converse and Live Oak lakes have some great tree lines and tree cover. I agree. If we keep getting some decent rain those two lakes will be super this upcoming year. banana

"DR" I have fished that lake several times. The last time I fished it was this past summer. Usually get the same type of fish and quality of fish at either lake. I fish the park lake the most because it is closer and super easy to get to. fish
