Although it still looks a lot like winter, spring-and spring fishing-is just artSund the corner. March, April and May are usually our most productive months of the year, since most popular game fish spawn in Kentucky during this -period.

While the fish are concentrated in their spawning areas (usually in shallow water) they are much easier to locate and catch than they will be la te ; in the summer, when they are deeper and more scattered.

Many anglers t ry to plan weekend trips Or even long vacations to coincide with the spawning activities of their , favorite fish. But predicting when a spawn will take places is difficult, if not downright impossible.

The difficult arises because it is necessary first to predict the weather, since weather determines water temperatures, which in turn tr iggers spawning activity.

' But it's not only temperature alone, but also the rate a t which the water" temperature rises that governs when a spawn will occur. It takes time for eggs and milt to develop in the fish's body to a * rapid rise to spawning temperature may End the fish not yet .ready to start spawning, even though water tempera-tures may be "just right."

So what follows should be taken as . only the most general of guides, subject to a variety of environmental factors -which is just another way of saying it's not our fault If the fish aren't biting when we say they're supposed to.

Walleye usually spawn- first, at water temperatures of around 50. to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (10-13 degress Celsius). White bass s tar t spawning when the water temperatures reaches 55 to 60 degrees. Since both these fish "run" up/tr ibutary streams or into the headwaters of lakes to spawn, it isn't unusual to catch a mixed string of white bass and walleyes in areas where both 6sh exist.

As water temperatures continue to rise, the crappie s tar t moving from their 'deep wate t winter homes toward shallow- water spawning areas. They

a t vMer temper&tuses. between 60 and 65 degrees, in water from three t o ten feet deep with some kind of brush, weeds or sunken tree tops for protection. These fish are communal spawners, with large numbers concen-trating in the same area!

After the crappie have just about completed their spawn, the largemouth bass begin. Like crappie, bass prefer water from three to ten feet deep, but they like open water over a sand, gravel or hard clay bottom. Although bass are

because suitable bottom conditions exist there. Bass guard their nests and will attack all' intruders, including artificial hires.

BtaegOl wait until water tempera-ture^ reach or exceed 80 degrees before spawning. These fish build nests in water one to three feet deep, often in areas where there a r e overhanging tree or bushes. Live worms or small artificial lures a re productive over bluegill beds i s long as the angler doesn't spook the i s h into deeper water.

And here s a tuial note to whet your appetite: af ter a long cold winter, fish are more likely to have very intense, active spawns, according to Kentucky's Director of Fisheries, Charlie Bowers, who says this could be an excellent year, for fishermen throughout the common-wealth. After a winter like this one, we need some compensation, so get ready for some fine spring fishing.
