Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass near McKinney, Texas, Lavon Lake is your best bet. This large reservoir offers diverse habitat from shallow, grassy flats to deeper, timber-filled coves, supporting a healthy bass population. Spring and fall are peak seasons, with bass actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. During the spawn, target shallow, protected areas with reeds and brush. In the heat of summer, focus on deeper structure like submerged humps and creek channels. Texas-rigged worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lure choices, depending on the season and water clarity. Public boat ramps provide good access around the lake. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity as it can vary greatly depending on rainfall. If the water is stained, opt for brighter colored lures. Also, be sure to check the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department website for any fishing regulations specific to Lavon Lake. Bass in Lavon Lake typically range from 2-5 pounds, but larger fish are certainly possible, especially during the spring spawn.
