How Water Levels Affect Bass and Bass Fishing

Natural lakes have stable water levels; outflow balances inflow, and except in times of serious droughts, depth changes only a few feet between rainy and dry seasons.  Many reservoirs, in contrast, alternately store and release water.  Inflow and outflow are seldom balanced, and the surface level is often rising or falling.

Bass love to hang around brush piles especially during the spawning season. Brush piles in 4 to 7 feet of water with a mildly sandy bottom tend to hold many bass during the spring. Females, if possible will always bed near brush piles because they provide protection and tend to hold some baitfish.
