Lake Travis is one of the larger freshwater lakes in central Texas. It has a diverse selection of areas to fish. It is known for quantity rather than quality but there have been some hawgs taken out of it in the past few years. In fact, starting in 2011, it has been the best for quality I've ever seen. Plenty of 4-5lb fish have been caught and some even bigger. That's pretty awesome for a lake that usually mostly produces 1-3 pound bass. This is also the best lake to take your kids. It's easy to fish and most likely your kids will catch the most fish here.
