Do you think snow can affect the bass fishing right now ?

Depending on the drop in temperature. It shouldn't cool the water off all that much but if the snow storm brings a drop in barametric pressure, it could kill things altogether for a few days. I've actually caught bass on a buzzbait during a pretty decent snow fall. Just a freak thing I guess.

Dom,
Snow at this time of year affects the angler more than the fish. It's hard to concentrate and keep confidence when it's snowing, but Craig said, they will still bite. Snow melt-run off can slow fishing a little though, if enough cold water runs into the area you're fishing. Hang tough, spring will come! Johnnie

What about wind does wind affect bass ?

Yes, breaks up light penetration and moves baitfish....concentrating bass in obvious locations, Always fish into the wind andon wind blown banks or areas.
