Spring Fishing Patterns on Rogers Lake

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	52-62	Bass actively staging in and around early-growing submerged vegetation, showing aggressive feeding behavior particularly during warming trends Fish making pre-spawn movements from winter areas to shallow staging areas, responding well to reaction-style presentations	Submerged vegetation patches in pre-spawn staging areas Shallow flats with emerging vegetation near deeper water access Hard bottom areas with vegetation where crawfish are active	Lipless Crankbaits ripped through vegetation Bladed Jigs worked through grass edges Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') worked parallel to vegetation edges	Crawfish becoming active in warming shallows Small baitfish relating to emerging vegetation	Natural Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	58-68	Bass are actively moving to spawning areas in shallow water (2-4 feet), especially around submerged vegetation Fish are aggressive and territorial, defending nesting sites and striking reaction baits Pre-spawn feeding is intense, with fish targeting both crawfish and baitfish near spawning areas	Shallow flats with emerging submerged vegetation in 2-4 feet of water Protected areas with firm bottom composition for spawning Transition areas where vegetation meets slightly deeper water	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) around vegetation edges and spawning areas Lipless Crankbaits ripped through emerging grass Spinnerbaits worked parallel to vegetation edges Bladed Jigs through scattered vegetation	Crawfish emerging from winter dormancy Small bluegills and perch in the vegetation Young of the year baitfish beginning to appear	Natural Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	65-75	Post-spawn bass are actively feeding to recover energy, primarily relating to newly emerging vegetation and shallow cover Fish are establishing summer patterns, moving between shallow feeding areas and slightly deeper rest areas throughout the day	Edges of submerged vegetation in 2-4 feet of water Sparse vegetation patches near the deepest available water (around 4-5 feet) Any available hard cover (docks, fallen trees) adjacent to vegetation	Swim Jigs worked through vegetation edges Texas Rigs (Worming) through vegetation patches Spinnerbaits parallel to weed edges	Crayfish emerging in vegetation Young of year bluegill in shallow vegetation Small baitfish relating to weed edges	Natural Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors Green Colors

Summer Fishing Patterns

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Summer	Largemouth Bass	68-85	Bass will be heavily relating to dense vegetation edges and mats due to shallow lake conditions and moderate clarity Fish are likely to feed actively during early morning and evening, moving to deeper vegetation edges during midday heat Aggressive defensive behavior around spawning areas transitions to active feeding patterns in established vegetation	Thick vegetation mats and edges in 3-4 foot depth range Any available harder structure (docks, fallen trees) adjacent to vegetation Slightly deeper pockets within vegetation fields	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) through vegetation mats and edges Frogs/Toads worked over vegetation Swim Jigs along vegetation edges	Crayfish in and around vegetation Bluegill and small panfish Young of year baitfish in vegetation	Natural Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals

Fall Fishing Guide for Rogers Lake

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Fall	Largemouth Bass	52-68	Bass are actively feeding to build reserves for winter, following baitfish schools and utilizing dying vegetation as ambush points Fish moving between shallow feeding areas and slightly deeper staging areas as water temperatures fluctuate	Dying weed edges in 2-4 feet of water where vegetation is thinning out Remaining green vegetation patches, especially in areas protected from wind Any hard structure (rocks, wood) near vegetation edges providing ambush points	Spinnerbaits worked parallel to dying weed edges Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') across vegetation transitions Texas Rigs (Worming) through remaining vegetation patches	Young-of-year baitfish schooling near vegetation edges Crayfish active in remaining vegetation Small bluegills concentrated in remaining green vegetation	Natural Baitfish Colors Natural Craw Colors Purple Colors
