Fayette County is another power plant lake and it tends to put out even bigger bass than Bastrop. It has lots of vegetation and timber to hold those big girls. It also has old ponds with pond dams and reeds where you can catch some big bass on frogs, etc. You can also find them schooling up on shad throughout the lake in the summertime where a top water plug can catch a lot. There are lots of 3-6 lb fish that can be caught with an occasional bigger one. This can be a really fun lake with lots of numbers and quality. Since this is a power plant lake, you can find some bass spawning early in the year, before the other lakes in the region so even when it's still cold out, this lake produces well. There are also plenty of other species of fish as well like bluegill and catfish which can be a very good size.
