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.
