Blue Catfish
Looking for a Texas-sized blue catfish near Royse City? Lavon Lake offers some excellent opportunities. This large reservoir is known for its thriving catfish population, and blues are a prized target. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall, when the water warms up and catfish are actively feeding. Focus on deeper channels, humps, and flats adjacent to the old Sabine River channel that runs through the lake. Cut bait (shad or perch) is the local favorite. A great tip is to use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish; big blues won't be far behind. Several boat ramps provide access, including the one at Ticky Creek Park. Be aware of strong winds, which can pick up quickly on Lavon, making boat control challenging. Fish over 20 pounds are regularly caught here, with even larger specimens possible.
