Tips & Tactics
Largemouth bass fishing is at its best in March and April. Areas of the lake protected from the north wind are an excellent place to look for spawning bass at this time of year. Spinner baits and soft plastics are excellent choices. From May through September, look for bass in downed timber next to the river channel. Spinner baits, buzz baits, chuggers, and plastic worms are popular baits.
