Back in the early 90's Lake Conroe Texas was going to be the " NEW " Lake Fork. Texas parks and Wildlife following what they had learned from Lake Fork had a plan. They lake was producing a lot of Trophy LMB. But, the lake was close to Houston where many of the surrounding land owners were from. There was a lot of money there. Complaints were coming from many about how the vegetation was too much and the jet ski boaters and non fishing recreation crowd was raising cane. The TP&W stocked Grass Carp and had not learned the lesson that to many was not good when it came to fishing. So, they overstocked Grass Carp. The great fishery collapsed. It became hard for the fisherman to locate and catch any lmb. It remained that way for the next 20 to 25 yrs and is just now starting to come back because the carp finally started to die from old age. Today, they are finally adding some of their fish to the share-a-lunker program. And the TP&W will admit their mistake and they learned from that mistake.
