Upper Rogers Lake is one of the named reservoir waters in Alexander County, so I would begin around one sheltered section of bank and avoid a long move until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. I would rather understand one section well than skim five, so I would stay around one straightforward shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
Upper Rogers Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Published physical measurements are limited for Upper Rogers Lake, so I would avoid borrowing numbers from another lake until an official lake survey confirms the number and fish one promising shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first setup.
Fish Species and Best Baits
Fish recorded for Upper Rogers Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, so I would make one primary species the opening focus around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and stay with it until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. For largemouths at Upper Rogers Lake, I would start with a search bait around one nearby section of water and move to a jig or Texas rig when I get a useful answer from the first area.
