Lavon Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

This lake is noted for crappie fishing, especially in winter and spring. Largemouth bass, channel catfish, and blue catfish offer good fishing opportunities. Sunfish are plentiful, with good populations of several species.

Cover & Structure

Most structure in this lake is in the form of standing timber, especially uplake in the East Fork Trinity River arm and the Sister Grove/Pilot Grove Creek arm. When present, aquatic vegetation is generally in the backs of the many small bays and coves along both sides of the two main arms running north and south. Infrequent stands of cattail surrounded by water can provide excellent habitat for most species.

Tips & Tactics

During the winter, crappie school in deep water and are usually found around deep structure, especially on south-facing shorelines. Some fishermen place brush piles in deep water near boat houses for winter fishing. In the spring, these fish migrate into shallow water to spawn and become very vulnerable to fishing. Baits of choice would be jigs and minnows. In winter, a very small (1/32 oz) black and white jig can be effective.

Fishing Regulations

Lavon Lake has a special regulation on catfish. See bag and size limits. Check current TPWD regulations before your trip.
