Fishing
Report: Rolley Lake is suitable for fishing by everyone
from youngsters to the expert. The variety of fish provide a challenge
for different types of fishing. Trolling, without a motor, or casting
from shore from the many trails that allow you access to the water,
are both popular fishing methods. Depending on your style of fishing,
there is deep water at the north end and a shallow south end, with
swamps and mud providing a haven for feeding trout. The aggressive
stocking of Rainbow (50,000 since 1986) plus the many "resident"
fish increase your chances on your fishing expedition. Trout are
small, usually in the 1/2-1 lb. range.
