Fishing Rules

Please be aware of the following rules and regulations regarding fishing in Hermann Park. Please call Visitor Services with any questions at (713) 526-2183.

• Fishing is restricted to those aged 12 and younger and 65 and older.
• A Texas fishing license is required for those aged 65-70. (Call 1-800-792-1112 for more information.)
• “Catch and Release” is recommended, so as to allow our young fish population to mature.
• Do not litter. Help keep McGovern Lake clean by picking up and properly disposing of all fishing line, bait containers, fish, and trash.
