Spring time it's very important to cover lots of water. Looking for warm water and healthy weeds and bait fish. Leech is a very big lake, so picking a bay and sticking to the bay will help. Find the key areas, reeds, sand and weeds mixed, or hard banks. I like to cover water with a swim jig or a buzz bait. When you locate some fish, I will slow down and throw a senko or some kind of worm. The key is to always be looking for fish and really pay attention to where you find them. Leech patterns very well

Leech is loaded with wild rice that largemouth bass love to sit in during the fall. Wild rice can be difficult to fish but a frog is a great option!

The whitefish and tulibe are realating to the deeper basins. They come in suspended and are feeding heavy. I use the tingler spoon without the hook and tie it about 18 inches above my tungsten jig. The spoon calls them in and the jig seals the deal.

Get your jig out and get to work boys and girls, you're in for a a wild time with some of the fiercest Bass I have had the pleasure to tangle with. Big rods, Big line, and big jigs (1/2 oz or larger) will do you just fine Mix in a frog bit and maybe some soft body swimbaiting up shallow and HANG ON TO YOUR ROD! You'll thank me later...
