So, the cage (enclosure) gives the weeds a head start, the chance to get a colony started before they are depredated and removed. When weeds start to grow, carp and turtles tend to do a number on them. The reason for this is that we are in a northern climate. This entails creating an enclosure to get some vegetation going. "As we've done on some of our larger reservoirs, such as East Lynn, is that of a pilot vegetative project. "The operator of the reservoir wants the water to evacuate quickly, without any problems with the spillway. "Because most of our lakes are managed as flood-control lakes, there is not a lot of habitat," Hansbarger said. Such instability in pool level does not bode well for the growth of aquatic vegetation. Interestingly, Hansbarger said the DNR is looking at ways to increase aquatic weed growth in its lakes, most of which are flood-control waters, subject to dramatic fluctuations in level. Naturally, the lake can become turbid during periods of high rainfall, but typically, anglers can expect the lake to be relatively clear. This growth exists in part because though its name implies otherwise, Upper Mud is a fairly clear body of water. Wood and weeds are the primary forms of bass cover, and Upper Mud has a bit of both.Īccording to Hansbarger, Upper Mud Lake has a fair level of submergent aquatic vegetation. Such habitat also serves as a place for anglers to target in hopes of connecting with bass.
In general, the better the habitat, the more bass a lake can support.
Habitat is a significant factor for both bass and bass anglers. The lake does have a 10-horsepower limit, though. Once at the lake, though, Hansbarger said the main boat launch is a good one, capable of handling larger boats. Reaching Upper Mud Lake involves traveling the back roads, an activity many anglers shy away from.
