Lake Lavon
Fishing Report

About Lake Lavon

Lake Lavon is located in Collin County northeast of Dallas and 4 miles northeast of Wylie, off Texas Highway 78. It has a surface area of 21,400 square feet and has a max depth of 59 feet. The lake was impounded in 1953 and doubled in size 1974. The lake is generally clear with a light green stain in the water. 

Fishing Lake Lavon

Fish in Lake Lavon primarily use underwater structure to stage and sit on. 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. Outflow from the electric generating plant on the east side of the east arm can attract fish in winter, when ambient water temperatures dip. Rip-rap along the dam provides excellent habitat for largemouth bass, channel catfish, and sunfish.

Video Report Transcript

how's it going everyone Tristan here with Lake Pro Tackle I just wrote a brand new fishing report for Lake Lavon about a week and a half ago so I'm going to break it down for you um I was out there on April 15th I was fishing a small little Club tournament out on the lake I had recently put in a report for from practice a few days before that practice report was really good we caught him really good but the night before the tournament we had some rain we had a little bit of a front come through and so the water temperature dropped from 68 to 62 degrees so the last time I was out there was about 62 degrees Lake wide water visibility out there range from about three inches of visibility to about a foot depending on if you were in a pocket or on the main Lake the main Lake was a little bit clearer than in the backs of some of the pockets where it was really really murky this particular day that I was out there we caught them shallow flipping Texas rigs in grass and holes in Bank grass in one of the marinas catching them off beds and then we were also able to fish some of the rip wrap along the dam in the bridges with a Strike King hybrid Hunter that's crankbait and and just crank some up doing that as well so we caught a few fish you know it was a lot slower than the practice day but we did still catch a few good ones I caught one that was about three and a half pounds and then we caught some other smaller Keepers but if you want to see the exact sizes and styles and colors of baits I was using make sure you head over to the website lakeprotactical.com hit the like LaVon fisher report page scroll down and you'll see my reports right there um it was a tough day guys you know we had a brutal win that day 25 to 30 miles an hour out of the West uh sunny skies warm temperatures probably in the 80s it was a good fishing day but the wind made it really tough to run around but I'd imagine that now with the warm weather that we've been having there's probably a lot more fish on beds and there's probably a lot that are starting to pull back out that have already spawned out so the fishing should be really good make sure you get out there on the lake and we appreciate you stopping by
