Fayette County Reservoir Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Fayette County Reservoir is first and foremost a largemouth bass lake. Statewide annual tournament surveys consistently rank this lake at or near the top using quality indicators like average weight and bass caught per hour. Large numbers of two- to five-pound fish are available and relatively easy to catch at most times of the year. Channel, blue, and flathead catfish have been stocked.

Cover & Structure

Standing timber provides cover in the back of some coves. Submerged aquatic vegetation is present in limited quantities. Submerged tank dams, drop offs, roadbeds and creek channels also provide structure.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishermen can be successful year round in Fayette, but the most productive time is between February and June. A lipless crankbait can be very effective in the spring, and allows fishermen to quickly cover water. Chrome/blue and red are popular colors. Another extremely effective artificial bait is a Carolina-rigged centipede (french fry) or lizard. Fish slowly around points, along the dam or along drop-offs.

Fishing Regulations

Special bass limits and gear restrictions are in effect. In addition, the LCRA prohibits bow fishing at Fayette County Reservoir.
