Geography of a Bass Lake

Anglers must be able to navigate around a lake successfully in order to locate fish. A fundamental understanding of a lakes geographic layout can be valuable knowlege. I use topgraphical maps for most dams I fish and it is a combination of these and my catch card system that allows me to keep records of envirnmental conditions (weather and water levels) and catch results.
Generally bass cab be found throughout a lake, but under certain conditions, bass concentrate in areas where optimal water conditions prevail and where combinations of structure, cover and forage are found in one area.
