Walleye Patterns:

 

In spring, Rice lake walleye can be found scattered in the weedflats around Bewdley, cast a silver rattle spot, retrieve at medium speed in 5-8 ft. of water, try to cover a lot of water, this area is quite large. If the bite is off, try trolling in this area with a chartreuse worm harness. Also fish the mouth of the Otonobee River, where it spills into the lake, use jigs tipped with worms or minnows, in the deeper holding pools off Jubillee Point. Rice lake pickerel/walleye average 1-2 pounds, although some lunkers in the 5-6 lb range are not uncommon.

 

this looks helpful, i got it from http://www.thefishinguide.com/rice.shtml

Rice Lake is not to hard that time of year to figure out where they are, follow all the other boats,hair jigs are agood bet,worm harness is always good, and the folks at Adventure Bay will be more than helpful to point you in the right direction

Use Jerkbaits, retrieve in slow to medium speed with jerking motion, let it sit still from time to time (when the jerkbait starts to move again, that's when they usually hit). Try and find weedlines through out Rice Lake at a depth of 8 feet.
