Many lakes and reservoirs that are home to largemouth bass will have current in them. While largemouth bass will usually prefer the slack water over moving water, they do often use the current to their advantage for feeding and protection.
Ambush Spots
Bass often position themselves behind rocks, logs, or other structures to stay out of the main flow while waiting to ambush passing prey.
Oxygen & Food
Current brings a constant supply of oxygen and food, making areas with moving water attractive to bass.
Cooler Water Temperatures
Cooler, moving water can be very appealing during the warmer months of the year as it provides a more comfortable environment for largemouth bass.
