Rough River help

Taking my Dad for some crappie or monster bluegill hunting on Rough River. Any info would be appreciated, haven't done this in a while.

I haven't been down then in a month or so now but I would drop some minnows or small crappie jigs down by timber. That's usually how I catch them this time of year.

Crappie are starting to transition and minnows and tubes are producing

I know rough has some nice crappie in it, I have caught several while bass fishing, but I have never seen good bluegill come out of here, are there monster bluegill in rough river.

They're there but they're hard to find. If you find one there will be 50 more with it.

thanks for the info everyone. Hopefully will have a good report on Monday to share

Good luck. I'll probably be down mid week for a couple days.

Sloan's Taxidermy has mounted several very nice bluegill this year out of Rough. Like stated above ,they are there but just have to hit them just right at times
