Fawn Bayou is a lake in Louisiana, near St. Tammany County.
Anglers looking at St. Tammany Parish will find Fawn Bayou, a lake, which is why I would learn the nearest stretch before making a long run. I would give one familiar-looking section of bank a fair chance before making a bigger move, because a first trip should give you a useful clue rather than a tour of every corner.
Fawn Bayou does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, so on a first visit I would treat the first outing as a chance to learn the water's scale, and I would rather judge the scale in person before making a long run. I would start by seeing the water before choosing a pattern, because I would plan modestly until the size of the water is clear.
Public fish information for Fawn Bayou is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, which makes it smarter to treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets, and I would rather let the first catches narrow the plan. I would carry one versatile setup carrying a jig, a spinner, and a bait rig, because the goal is to find out what responds before narrowing the tackle any further.
If I were seeing Fawn Bayou for the first time, I would work one promising part of the water with only a few dependable baits; I would spend more time fishing a promising area than driving around looking for a perfect one.
