Fishing at McGovern Lake

Please be advised of the following temporary rules and regulations:

  • Fishing is restricted to those 12 and under and 65 and over
  • Texas Fishing License required for those aged 65-70 (Call 1-800-792-1112 for more information)
  • “Catch and Release” is recommended. This is to allow our young fish population to mature.
