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 except striped bass and white bass. 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.

A TYPICAL LAKE LAVON GUIDED FISHING TRIP WITH CAPT
LARRY
"I’m fortunate to live here on Lake Lavon. Lavon is one of the best catfish lakes in Texas. My goal is to have the R&R
blue catfish record broken on my boat. The best way to do that is to spend more time on the water. I have fished this lake since I
was fourteen and know Lake Lavon like my own backyard.
Starting in October through about the first part of March, the big catfish
start finding their way to the photo studios that are drifting above them. The bigger fish on my boat are photographed and returned
to the lake to be caught another day when
they will be even bigger."
Come join Captain Larry for a relaxing day just kickin'
back and enjoying the ride ...until that monster cat bites... then the war is on!
