Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	48-58	Fish are staging in pre-spawn areas, moving from winter depths to warming shallow areas, particularly near potential spawning flats Feeding activity increases as water temperatures rise, with fish becoming more aggressive in preparation for spawning	Secondary points and staging areas adjacent to shallow spawning flats Deep weed edges near rock transitions in 11-15 foot range Northwest reed lines, especially where they meet deeper water	Lipless Crankbaits worked through emerging vegetation Bladed Jigs along weed edges and through sparse cover Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) around reed lines and visible cover	Bluegill in and around emerging vegetation Crawfish becoming active in rocky areas	Vibrant Craw Colors Bold Striped Patterns Dark Neutrals
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	58-65	Largemouth bass are in spawning mode, with males creating and guarding nests in shallow protected areas, particularly around reeds and lily pad areas Fish are moving from pre-spawn staging areas into shallow spawning flats, becoming more territorial and aggressive in protecting nesting sites	Reed beds along northwest shore in 1-3 feet of water Shallow lily pad fields with firm bottom composition Protected shallow flats adjacent to deeper water staging areas	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) targeting visible spawning beds and cover Swim Jigs worked through shallow cover Soft Jerkbaits worked slowly around spawning areas	Bluegill gathering in shallow spawning areas Small baitfish in emerging vegetation Crawfish becoming active in warming shallows	Vibrant Craw Colors Bold Striped Patterns Dark Neutrals
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	62-72	Bass are in post-spawn recovery mode, actively feeding in shallow areas near spawning flats Fish are utilizing lily pads and shallow vegetation as primary cover, showing aggressive topwater feeding behavior	Lily pad fields, especially those adjacent to spawning flats Emergent reed beds along northwest shore Shallow vegetation edges in 2-4 foot depth range	Hard Topwater (Popping) worked around lily pads and vegetation edges Frogs/Toads cast into heavy pad cover Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) worked through vegetation	Bluegill in shallow vegetation Young of year panfish in pad fields	Vibrant Craw Colors Bold Striped Patterns Dark Neutrals
