walleye help at rice lake

[FishNut]

On sunday I'm taking a trip up to rice lake for walleye ( hopefully) I went once last year and had no luck.. I'm going up with my girls dad so I gotta bring him to some fish lol... Can someone give me some tips, its gonna be like 30 degrees sunday, catch and release only so any spots won't be depleted, I fish for sport only

Good Luck..... Some People Where Successful On The Lake Depending Which park of the lake your going to be launching. Theres a nice place somewhere near north of bewdley around the rail road tracks that may have some. Last Year I Caught About Four Of Them(two under the slot size) but the three out of the four was caught trolling the waters. The one spot I caught with a crank bait(rapala minow) was around the rail road tracks. Another tip I heard from someone else was a jig and minow. All I can say is good luck. Might be worth buying a map of the lake that shows you the depth and common areas of where certain species of fish are(helped alot when I first came up to Rice Lake).

 

Cheers,

Look for decent(green) weed beds. And fish the edges of it.Jig nice and slow and if that doesn't work, jig more aggressively(with a snap).Good luck.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it, I have a gps on my sonar, so ill be using that and gonna pick up a map, everything that I need to worry about that's not marked due to water level drop?

I'm really curious as to if the lake is actually low... as the Otonabee is up to the top of the banks, as of Wednesday anyhow!

The lake is at normal summer level.

 

Fish deep weed edges with deep diving cranks, worm harnesses, jerkbaits or jigs.

 

Where are you launching from??

I'm not sure yet, have a suggestion for me? I don't mind paying a little extra but I want a good launch

[Sinker]

There are lots of launches. Bewdley or gores landing are probably the most common if your coming from the GTA.
