He then accompanied Parry's attempt on the northwest passage on the Hecla in 1823 publishing The private journal of Captain G. F. Lyon the following year. Lyon was then promoted captain and appointed the Griper. "Lyon's instructions were to reach Repulse Bay by whatever route he judged best and from it to examine the coast of the mainland westward to the point where John Franklin's voyage had ended its survey. He sailed on 6 June but the season proved unfavourable and he returned to England in November." The route that he chose "for reasons that never became clear" Howgego took them south of Southampton Island approaching Repulse Bay through Roes Welcome Sound and required "navigating a labyrinth of treacherous shoals". Foul weather and high winds forced Lyon to return incurring the wrath of Sir John Barrow at the Admiralty as a result of which he was never offered another commission.
