Rice Lake

[big daddy]

Fished the lake on Saturday June 14; caught 5 'eyes from 2 to 3lbs, all on a chartreuse spinner rig and worm behind planer boards. (Lost 2 more at the boat.)

 

Since we weren't familiar with the lake, we just starting trolling the main lake around any weed edges we could find in 8-12 fow. Conditions were just about perfect, warm, overcast & a nice chop on the water.

 

All of the fish were caught from 8:30am to noon and then they seemed to shut down, so we dropped some jigs but only produced 2 smallies and a catfish.

 

Since this was our first crack at Rice Lake, we felt pretty good with the results.

 

(Thanks again to Smokey for helpfu boat ramp info.)

You did great. Tackling any body of water for the 1st time is a task at hand. I bet they tasted great too. Great report.

Sounds like a good day on a tough lake. Thanks for the report. Don't forget to bring your camera next time!

Great lake to fish off of. Thats one of my favorite lakes to fish. A good area that usually pans out decent walleye and bass is over by the tire swing. Also try hitting up the shore over by the train tracks. 2 seasons ago I hit a 4lbs Pickerel off the point. Amn was it good eats.
