Rock Lake is great for almost any type of fishing just not muskies. Every time i go out on Rock i come back home with a good amount of fish. A great spot is off of Sandy Beach for panfish. A great spot for bass is over in the pencil weeds on the west side, there is some good action over there. don't really know a good spot for pike but they seem to be almost every where.
