About Conway Chain Images of Lakes
About the Conway Chain of Lakes:
The Chain has four interconnected pools or lakes (east, west, middle, and south) in the Disney or South Orlando area, collectively known as Lake Conway or the Conway Chain of Lakes. The larger lakes have only two public boat ramps located off Hoffner Avenue, two blocks east of Orange Avenue (SR 527).
Like the Butler Chain, public bank access is, for all practical purposes, non-existent. The chain has nearly 1,800 acres of clear water and hard sand bottom, with beds of peppergrass, eelgrass, and hydrilla scattered offshore. Largemouth bass fishing is good in every season, even in summer, when the bass are often schooling on shad in the open water.
One of Conway’s “claims to fame” is its schooling bass. Schooling activity often seems best during pre-cold-front conditions and during summer feeds with 10 to 15mph winds. Schooling bass can generally be found by watching for surface activity or by watching birds feeding.
Most schooling will occur in offshore areas, but deep-water access points are also significant. Jigging spoons, topwater lures, soft jerk baits, and white spinnerbaits are some of the best choices to catch this schooling bass; however, it is essential to remain flexible because, as with all bass fishing, what’s worked today will often be ignored tomorrow.
