Central Michigan offers surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, and the Rosebush area is no exception. Focus your efforts on the smaller lakes and ponds dotting the landscape; many are unnamed or lightly pressured, providing excellent opportunities for catching quality bass. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Look for weed edges, lily pads, and submerged timber in water depths of 4-8 feet. Early morning and late evening are especially productive. A practical tip: many of these smaller lakes lack developed boat ramps. A kayak or canoe is often the best way to access the prime fishing spots. Also, pay attention to water clarity; stained water can be advantageous, as it allows you to get closer to the fish without spooking them. The largemouth population in this region tends to be healthy, with a good mix of sizes, and you can expect to find fish up to 5 pounds.
