Blue Ridge Lake April

Temp 64
Level -13 ft
Clarity  6 to 8ft
Spring really transforms this lake like no other in the area . Grass starts growing and pulling bait and small fish up shallow. Big fish are cruising the shore line and grass edges looking to feed . This will create lots of fish catching opportunities this month .  Walleye will be on the rocky shorelines at night , just off the grass in the day time . You can find fish in shoreline timber as well as offshore rock piles , be versatile and cover water . What ever way you like to catch fish can be put to use . From crank baits to crawler harnesses you can literally throw the box at em this month .
      The bass fishing has been great the last few weeks and should really crank up as we get into April. Look for that top water bite in the morning on the main lake . Zara spooks and Berkley hijackers are a staple bait I keep tied on and ready to launch at any fish breaking the surface or at any school of bait acting nervous . The spoon bite has been good after the sun gets up . Look for fish that have dropped down to that 20 to 30ft range. Nicholas MOJO spoons and 3/4oz krocolidle spoons are my favorite for spring fishing in this clear water .
