Clear water, highland reservoir fishing for largemouth bass can be tough at anytime, but in the summer it can be really tough.

If you're next trip has you heading to a clear water fishery this summer you definitely want to try these baits and locations to help narrow down your lake or rivers summer pattern. I'm convinced they'll help put more bass in the boat! Especially in June or whenever the shad spawn kicks off in your region of the country. 

Location: Loch Raven Reservoir - 

Time: A few Weekends through June

Gear: Ugly Stix MH Spin Rod, Penn Fierce III Spinning Reel, 12 lb Berkely x9 braid to long (20 foot) to 10lb Seaguar Fluorocarbon leader. 
***I use extra long leaders on my spinning reels for clear water because I love braid to flouro and it still gives me a lot of stealth during the retrieve.***

Abu Garcia Pro Max Baitcaster, Abu Garcia Pro Max MH baitcaster rod Power Pro 15lb to 10lb Seaguar Fluoro leader. 
***the leader on my baitcaster is much shorter, only about 3-4 feet to keep my double uni knot out of the reel housing.***
