Spring
is a season that many associate with cleaning and de-cluttering. For
fishing enthusiasts however, spring is the perfect time to visit a
lake, cast their rods, and kick off the
fishing season. Before you romp your way into a fishing frenzy
though, have you checked the weather yet?
When
spring weather is cooler than normal, minimal evaporation is the
result, which means lakes will generally be at high levels. Some
fishing fanatics think that high water levels indicate they should
stay away from any kind of fishing, but the opposite is actually the
case. Fishing buffs stand a good chance of catching bass and trout as
long as they know what to do and where to look.
Bass
fishing is likely to be more productive than usual during high water
levels because this is when fish tend to stay in shallow portions of
lakes (where they are easily visible). All locals have to do is steer
their boats toward the banks, where the water’s edge meets the
surrounding land.
Trout-fishing
works in a similar way, as trout also have a tendency to head along
banks with trees or bushes. Such wood elements break the current,
providing trout a refuge. When on a mission to catch a large fish,
such as a Michigan steelhead, in particular, going for a two-handed
rod with at least 12 feet in length is a good move.
