Spending a few days up there looking for any tips. Never fished in this lake before. Thank guys
Bass Lake can be tough this time of year because of all the visitors and boats. If you're boat fishing for bass, north shore early along docks, back in the coves later to escape all the wake from boat traffic. Green plastics on drop shot can be effective but you might fight the weeds. I'm sure others have success with other methods but I tend to bottom fish. Shore fishing all along the south side of the lake. Shore fishing trout fisherman generally are down by the dam. Lots of people troll for trout and kokanee but you will struggle with all the other boats. I don't know any magic, I do well there sometimes and others not so much. I almost never fish it in summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Good luck.

Thank you John for the info appreciate it. Hopefully we can get there earily enough and we are going on Tuesday, where I have been reading boat traffic is lighter.
