Fishing Falling Water

[Charles B. Summers]

Everyone knows that when the lake levels are rising, to seek bass in the
shallows water closest to the newly flooded brush/wood/whatever... but how
do you usually handle lake levels that are dropping?

I flip deep banks along the fast current.

Charles,

Falling water ins a reservoir in summer, the first thing I try is a small,
deep diving crankbait along rocky banks. The falling water forces the
crawfish to relocate. If it's something that goes on fairly regularly, you
can bet your butt that the smallies know it.

This was something that Jack Dalzell and I were discussing last week, and I
realized that I had no clue as to what to do. Your explaination also make me
realize why those little zipper grubs work so well for me during and after
the draw down. Crankbaits will have to be a "must try" thing for me this
fall.

Now, if the rain raises a lake or reservoir... as they are dropping the
levels back slowly, does this still apply?

Depends on the area, but I expect that would be a raising water circumstance
due to fresh feed, mud lines, etc... Probably more so than spring runoff
from snow melt seasonally raising the water level. You may have some
unusual currents in those circumstances to make thing more interesting.

If I've been on fish, I will fish cover on the first drop away from the shore
in the same areas.

Someone left the drain open on my big lake this year, they were drawing some
water out and di not close it back off. The lake dropped over 2 feet real
quick. Small jigs were the answer, However fish that were located tight to
cover before were now holding in deeper open water
