Largemouth Bass and Rain

Largemouth Bass and Rain

Rain usually creates some excellent bass fishing opportunities. If a
front is coming in, bass will typically go on a feeding spree just before
the front gets there. On days when it is just a steady light rain, bass
fishermen can have some of their best days. Bass will stay shallower
throughout the day because of the reduced light penetration, which
makes it easier for anglers to target these fish. Heavy rains make it
tough to fish, so most anglers will not even be on the water, but it is
possible to catch bass during a heavy rain. Once the water gets all
kicked up from a heavy rain, fishing does tend to slow down for a day
or two after because it's a lot harder for bass to find your bait. A
couple of exceptions to this are spillways and clear water. Clear
waters will get a little cloudy, but fish will still be able to feed regularly
and the bass may even stay shallower because the water isn't so
clear. Spillways are typically great fishing spots right after a rain. The
water can be the same color as milk chocolate, but bass will be there
feeding on worms that are getting washed away and on small baitfish
that are in the area feeding as well.
