You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Rogers Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name Atlantic salmon, alewife, rainbow smelt and American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Rogers Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -9°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That is the shape of the year on Rogers Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Dicks Lake is 1.7 km distant. Treat Rogers Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
