Sorry! Right now we are working on the problem and will fix it soon.
Due to irregular bottom of the Lake Rousseau, fishing on the lake can be a little dangerous. It is worth giving up high speeds.
The water is clear, so it is better to use fluorocarbon leaders to attract fish.
If you want to fish for black crappie you should stay near the shoreline. Drift fishing method with minnows under bobbers also works great here.
There is dense vegetation in this area. Live wild shiners are the best baits on the Rousseau. Flipping fishing method also works well.
A four-inch plastic worm for bass works well here. The light line and tackle are good to use in this place. Periodically put the hook up and down slightly so that it doesn’t get tangled in the thick vegetation of the area.
