Rose Valley Lake is managed under Big Bass Program special regulations. All other species are managed under Commonwealth Inland Waters regulations.

Fish habitat structures have been placed in the lake over the years as part of the Commission's Cooperative Fish Habitat Improvement Program.

The Commission stocks the lake with muskellunge and walleye fingerling. Rose Valley has yielded a number of good-sized musky in recent years.
