Fish and Useful Baits at Rice Lake

A reliable current fish list was not found for Rice Lake, so it would be wrong to promise a certain species without better proof.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Rice Lake

On a first trip to Rice, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Rice Lake

Spring around Rice is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Rice can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
