Tournament for April will be held at Lake Bonham. Most of the shoreline is ringed with cattails which provides some cover. Scattered boat houses also provide cover for largemouth bass along with a modest amount of standing timber and cut banks. Probably some of the best cover is provided by the 1.5 miles of rip-rap along the dam

Best Pattern: Flipping/Pitching Flooded Bushes/Lily Pads
Water Temp: 61-67
Weather: Warm, blue bird, day became breezy.
