Fishing at High Rock Lake in June offers diverse opportunities for anglers targeting different species. Here's a detailed report on what you can expect:

Largemouth BassLargemouth bass fishing at High Rock Lake is particularly good in June. Early mornings are best for topwater action, with lures like Rico poppers in bone color being highly effective. As the day progresses and temperatures rise, bass move to deeper water, where they can be found around sunken structures such as brush piles and rocks. Texas-rigged soft plastics and Carolina rigs are effective in these conditions. Crankbaits, particularly the Rapala DT series, are also productive when fish aren't responding to slower presentations oai_citation:1,Bass Fishing  | High Rock Lake Life oai_citation:2,Hot Bassin’ on High Rock Lake - Carolina Sportsman.
