Your Secret Spot. To Beaver A pril at Beaver Lake in Rogers, AZ means bass on the beds and lots of fish in the shallows. The water temperature is in the 60's and the water is extremely clear, but abundant pollen in the water makes it pretty hard to see the fish. This lake has largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass with spots being the predominant species.
Spotted bass are fun to catch because they bite readily and pull so hard.
In the clear water lake that we're fishing for the FLW Wal-Mart Open tournament, I like to use watermelon, green pumpkin or any other shade of green. I use an All Star AST 843 spinning rod and 8-pound green Maxima line. Small spinnerbaits will also produce fish this time of year. Ideal is a small-frame spinnerbait that s also heavy. On a windy day, this will catch the active fish that are feeding in the same places you throw the mojo rig.
