Fish and Useful Baits at Rowand Lake

Fish reported from Rowand Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch. Brown trout and rainbow trout are also stocked in Rowand Lake.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Rowand Lake can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Rowand Lake crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Rowand Lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Rowand Lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Chain Pickerel

Chain pickerel in Rowand Lake can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Rowand Lake

Use a moving lure to locate the first active stretch, then slow down on the exact cover that produced a bite on Rowand Lake. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Rowand Lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Rowand Lake

Spring at Rowand Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Rowand Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Rowand Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
