Roscommon County has the Largest inland lake in Michigan Houghton Lake. This lake is one of the best producers of panfish in the state of Michigan. It also has a good population of walleye and pike. Higgins Lake is the King for ice fishing when it freezes in the middle of January. The target fish are perch and smelt which they catch by the bucket on Hali’s. This lake has a huge population of lake, brown, and rainbow trout, it is the place to be in the late winter when the shallow lakes are not producing. Ogemaw County Main lakes are Peach, Sage, Clear, Lake George, Rifle, and Hardwood lake. Lots of fisherman head to Lake St. Helen which is just across the line in Roscommon as it produces lots of fish in the winter.

Rock bass out of cold water is just as good as bluegill

Just so everyone knows, reason we kept the rock bass was the guy I had out liked to eat them. Says their similar to bluegill, I don’t keep them personally But there are a TON in the lake

Pike wont even eat rock bass 🤣

i have eaten them, they are good eating up north in the colder water

I always heard about the world famous rock bass fishery up there.

Rockies Rock! One of my faves.

Justin Perry rock bass sushi time! Rockie seviche' bud!

What’s the deal with those rock bass are they good eatin or what?
