Flooded bass fishing cover conditions incites one of two responses from fishermen; there are anglers who dream of endless shallow water targets to fish, while there are others who dread the confusing maze of new cover available when water levels rise. Whether you love it or hate it, high water and flooded conditions are a common occurrence in most reservoirs, lakes and rivers. Especially in spring, when bass migrate shallow, so you need to understand these scenarios.

Flooded bass fishing cover conditions

Flooded bass fishing cover now available from heavy rains

With all of the crazy rain many of you have been experiencing, I decided to put together a comprehensive piece that will help you keep catching ’em even in these nasty conditions. I will teach you how to make the most of a muddy situation and fish through a flood on your local fisheries.

“The best advice that I can give anybody, is that they need to do their research on flooded bass fishing cover as to what that body of water normally does when it comes up or goes down.”

Some fisheries are able to move more water through them at a faster pace than others, returning to a somewhat stable level more quickly. Whereas on some other fisheries, the same amount of rainfall has longer lasting effects.

There is always a pattern within a pattern in high water. Some days they want to be in the thickest part of the bush, others they may swarm new growth (green limbs or leaves in the water) or you’ll notice you get bit every time you come across a horizontal laydown in the water. They might be in the deepest bushes or the ones in the dirt. If you get more than one bite on a specific type of cover, it’s no accident.

Not all fisheries flood the same. Some come up and go down quicker. Others rise 25 feet and some just two. Some have more current and in some the fish are less effected by the mud than in others.
