I fished the lake on 04/12/23 to practice for an upcoming tournament I have on the lake. The water temperature ranged from about 64 to 72 degrees across the lake, and the water clarity was pretty stable everywhere I went, with about a foot of visibility, and a slight greenish hue to the water. I got out to the lake at about 1:30 PM, and it was sunny outside with virtually no wind at all, and almost no clouds. Outside temperatures were in the high 70's and low 80's for the entire time I was out there. I spent the day targeting matted vegetation along steeper banks out in front of flooded brush, and the flooded brush itself, in smaller main lake pockets where the water was warming quickly and fish were positioning on beds. I targeted these areas with a weightless fluke fished slowly along the bottom in holes in the grass, and a chatterbait around the edges of the grass and the brush. After catching several nice ones doing this, including the 5.20 pictured below, I was also able to go find some rip rap banks on bridges and the dam across the lake and catch some solid fish cranking a squarebill as well. Overall it was a great day on the water, Lavon is fishing very good right now, so be sure and get out there! Thank you all for reading my reports and good luck!
