A focused guide to fishing in and around The Woodlands, Texas. Find 81+ verified spots — from Township-managed ponds like Lake Paloma and Bear Branch Reservoir, to Spring Creek bank access at Pundt Park, to Lake Conroe public boat ramps and Harris County's stocked Community Fishing Lakes — each with the permit rules, species notes, current weather, and one-tap directions you actually need. NEW IN v1.5 • Current weather at every spot — air temp, conditions, and wind direction in a compact card right on the spot detail. Check before you head out. • Cleaner map at every zoom — nearby pins now cluster into a single marker with a count, so 81+ spots stay readable even when zoomed out. • Suggest a missing spot — found a lake I don't have? The About screen has a quick form to send me the name, coordinates, and notes. Live updates flow to every user without an app update. • 7 new spots — Wendtwoods, Smooth Stream, Tupelo, Timarron (all in Creekside Park), Dennis Johnston Park, Hart Pundt Lake, and the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center's Bluegill Pond. • Lake Conroe Park is now Lake Conroe Beach Park, reopened in May 2025 under a private operator — listing updated to reflect new access semantics. WHAT'S INSIDE • Live map with every spot color-coded by access type (public, limited, private) • Distance-sorted list with one-tap Apple Maps directions • Permits & rules tab covering Texas freshwater license, Township pond rules, Lake Conroe regulations, and W.G. Jones State Forest • Filters: public-only, catch-and-keep allowed, bank access, boat access, favorites, and species (bass, bluegill, catfish, crappie, white bass) • Per-spot favorites (heart icon) and trip log (date + notes, stays on your device) • Source links on every spot — verify rules with the official authority before you fish • Spot data updates automatically — new lakes and corrections appear without needing an app update WHO IT'S FOR Whether you're a Woodlands resident scouting your village ponds, a visitor heading to Lake Conroe, or new to the area and wondering where you can legally drop a line — this app gives you a clean answer without the guesswork. WHAT'S NOT INSIDE No social feed. No leaderboards. No subscriptions. No accounts. Your favorites and trip log stay on your device. A small banner ad helps keep the app free, and you can also tip via Ko-fi from the About screen — both fully optional. A NOTE ON PERMITS Fishing rules change. Each spot links directly to the authoritative source (Texas Parks & Wildlife, The Woodlands Township, San Jacinto River Authority, Harris County Pct 4, etc.) so you can verify before fishing. Anyone 17 or older needs a TPWD freshwater license to fish public Texas waters.
