Thanks for the info., guys. I can vouch for sunfish beds. I used my smallest fly rod on Saturday and caught sunfish one after another off beds in Bonney Lake...they were all over the place. They're a real kick in the pants on a small fly rod.

The sunfish beds could be a sign that bass have spawned. They usually spawn after bass do in the same areas. I don't think there is a set temp, but more of a range. It seems like there is about a 10 degree range around here that bass will spawn in, from 60-70. There are so many others determining exactly when bass will spawn however.

I also was at spanaway today, and caught 3 smallies off beds, and didnt see any largies on beds. In fact I only saw a few largies. I sure did see a zillion sunfish beds however. I havent fished this lake in 3 weeks, so I dont know what happened (what phase the largies are in). I found numerous largies on beds on washington two weeks ago, but when we went back there last weekend in a tourny, only saw a few bucks.

i would say mid sixties seem to be a temp for largies to start faning beds. water temp today was 66, 67 at spanaway and alot of bass were cruising. only found a couple beds thought. Althought i saw the exact same thing there a three weeks ago with temps a little lower.

Hi guys, I'm wondering what the typical water temperature is in this general area (Western Washington) that causes largemouths to get the spawn going in full swing. Anybody know?
