I've been given a choice of spending a week fishing at one of the following lakes in late February or Early March.
I've never been to either. I'd be pulling my boat from Austin, and my non-fishing better half would be with me.

Sam Rayburn or Lake Conroe


Which lake would you recommend, for someone of average bass fishing skills, looking to have a decent chance to catch some fish over the course of a week -- and taking in some new scenery and nature?

Thanks for your ideas. I2D

Sam for sure pick a section of lake lets say fine fingers to veach basin u can fish allot of creeks and coves with good grass you will be able to focus on fishing 5-10ft deep with traps worms and c-rigs. Also Rayburn has great scenery!

+ 1. Also, Rayburn has so many coves and bays you can find somewhere to fish in almost any weather if you tow to the right ramp.

If the wife doesn't really like fishing etc she would like Conroe much better. Plenty of shopping and other things to do nearby.

From what I have heard Rayburn for sure. Cousin fishes it and does really well. Like said above there are a lot of coves so you can find your own water. As far as getting out in nature goes I would guess Rayburn would be more scenic just looking at where it is on a map.

Rayburn for sure if you want to catch fish. Conroe if you want to shop and eat.
