Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 11, 2005 -- Due to heavy western rains and the withholding of irrigation water, Lake Mead lake levels came up almost ten feet in the months of January and early February. With continued snowfall in the western Rocky Mountain region, this trend could make for excellent spring fishing.

As spring approaches and the water starts to warm, the threadfin shad will start to come into the shallows to spawn. The combination of warm water and baitfish spawning begins to move the stripers into shallow water. By April, the stripers will begin to respond to swim baits in and around the spawning areas. The early morning action can be fast and furious.

As the day progresses, both the bait and the stripers will drop into 30-50 feet of water. The stripers can then be caught while the boat is anchored, assisted by chumming with shad or anchovies.

If the Lake Mead water level continues to rise, the Largemouth will be in the brush in the backs of coves, spawning. Given an abundance of flooded brush, this can make for excellent sight fishing.

In addition to the improved spring bass fishing, the higher water level gives the baitfish a place to hide and has the potential to create a tremendous mid-summer top water bite.
