Tesla Site · Thompsons Fishing Weather & Forecast

Fishing Tesla Site · Thompsons

Thompsons is a few hundred people, a giant power plant on Smithers Lake, and — with Tesla's Project Crystal Sun rising in the FM 762 corridor — one of the busiest construction sites in Texas. For the crews out there, the weather that matters is Gulf-coast weather without the beach: brutal summer heat indexes, afternoon storms that build off the sea breeze with real lightning, and the radar view that decides when to clear the steel. When the workday ends, the fishing nearby is quietly excellent: Brazos Bend State Park's lakes, fifteen minutes east, are stacked with largemouth and crappie (mind the alligators — they are not a rumor), and the Brazos River itself holds channel and blue cats and alligator gar that run over a hundred pounds. Smithers Lake, the legendary power-plant reservoir next door, is private water — you will hear stories about it, and they are true, but there is no public access.

Local tip: No tides out here — beat the heat instead. First light and the last hour before dark fish best all summer, and the two days after a front breaks the humidity are the days to burn a vacation hour.
