2,400 Acres of Prime Fishing

Fayette County Lake is a 2,400-acre cooling pond for the Fayette Power Project. Water that is discharged into the lake creates a warm-water lake that can be fished year-around.

When the gates swung open at Fayette County Lake on September 5, 1979, some 120 boatloads of anglers were waiting in line to sample what at the time was thought to be the hottest ticket on the Texas bass-fishing scene.

Average Weight of Fish in 1979 was 3.56 pounds
THEY'RE JUST GETTING BIGGER

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists checked 573 bass weighing 2,042 pounds on opening day. The average fish weighed 3.56 pounds. This was the beginning of what was to become one of the showcase lakes in Texas for future management of largemouth bass on heavily-fished lakes.

Warm water lake year-around means great fishing year-around
