Rough River Lake fishing report — kentuckyfishing.com — Aug. 15

Fishing for largemouth this weekend was terrific in early morning and late evening on Rough River Lake. Pop-R-style baits worked well in the morning and small spinners worked well at night and in the morning. In an effort to catch what he thought were hybrid bass in the jumps, the author threw inline spinners — Roostertails — and caught numerous largemouth that were chasing baitfish on and near long points. The largemouth would “boil” for a minute or so and two or three fish — some nearing three pounds — could be caught before each boil ended. Fishing was best with boat traffic or wind because both pushed baitfish off of the rocks they were using for shelter. After dark and before daylight, this kind of fishing slowed considerably because the water’s surface was still.

Looking for a good fishing guide at Rough River Lake. I haven’t had a boat but for a few months and I’m an amateur fisherman trying to become more familiar with the lake and get some fishing tips. Bob
