I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Roger Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Roger Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
