Where abouts on Rice? I was there for a bass derby this past Sat, walleyes would have been a bonus but it was agonizingly slow. It will pick up for you tho, the cold front is gone. Almost everyone and their brother uses white grubs tipped with a worm on a jig. It works at dusk and drifting along weed lines or mud bottoms. it's no secret. Have you tried these Gulp Minnows? The reviews look really good, not cheap tho. Personally I don't like the leech, it's too big and too stiff. What do you plan to use for bait?

Best of luck and can't wait to see your lunkers.

We've actually been slaying them this year on bottom bouncer with two foot floating worm harness with worm drifting past the weed bed with a little help from trolling motor

Rice lake is where my colleague and I started fishing. It was great. First trip we caught one giant small mouth bass (that's all). Second time we caught 9 perch and one sun fish

Got some decent walleye in rice lake, But I did not find them to be fighters.

Hi im new to this board. This is my first post.
I grew up near Hastings and I used to fish off the train bridge.
We caught a lot of fish but never Walleye or anything like that.. Trout and sunfish mostly, shiners and chum

 

[rusty420]

To the best of my knowledge there is no trout in rice lake

 

[Arob]

you could be right. ... i remember the swimming more than the fishing. srry

This might come as a surprise, but there are small Brook Trout in certain areas of Rice Lake.

Wow I apologize Arob. I've fished there many times and grew up 10 min away from rice and ice never heard that. But thanks guys that's great to know
