Smallmouth Bass become a problem on Lake Tahoe

Lake Superior is one big lake. It's average depth is about 480 feet, whereas Tahoe averages 1,000 ft. There is enough water in Superior to cover all of North and South America with one foot of water. Tahoe holds enough to do the same to the state of California.

As to its freezing: according to a study by professors at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Lake Superior may have warmed faster than its surrounding climate.[13] Summer surface temperatures in the lake appeared to have increased by about 4.5 °F (2.5 °C) since 1979, compared with an approximately 2.7 °F (1.5 °C) increase in the surrounding average air temperature. The increase in the lake's surface temperature may be related to the decreasing ice cover. Less winter ice cover allows more solar radiation to penetrate the lake and warm the water. If trends continue Lake Superior, which freezes over completely once every 20 years, could routinely be ice-free by 2040.[14] These warmer temperatures can actually lead to more snow in the lake effect snow belts along the shores of the lake, especially in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Ok now that I have had a history lesson on lake tahoe. I'm still shocked that bass cause poor water clarity?

I personally find this hard to believe.

My guess is the declining water clarity is more a cause of the developwmnts around lake tahoe, lawn fertilizers, global warming and more algea.

Why is the bass getting the blame. What do bass do that trout don't do?



Anthony Adams - As your director I believe in promoting the enjoyment of fishing to all. I encourage good sportsmanship and preserving of natural resources. I strongly encourage all individuals regardless of age, race, or gender to be more involved in the world of fishing

Orvis folks like their fish in the seven inch range and the bass just get too big for their 9 weights. ;D
