This eutrophic water body has a flat, featureless bottom with a maximum depth of six feet. Rowell Lake offers excellent largemouth bass fishing from January through June. The best baits are purple and black artificial worms. Live shiners are always productive and should be drifted in open-water areas. Artificial lures should be fished along the cypress tree shoreline.
Crappie fishing is excellent with the favorite bait being live minnows drifted in open water.
Bluegill and redear grow at a fast rate in eutrophic lakes and offer good fishing. Live worms and crickets work best when the fish move into the cypress tree shoreline. The best months are April, May and June. This lake also has brush-type fish attractors which provide excellent fishing. Each attractor is marked with an orange and white buoy.
