I was just wondering if any one had any goog luck fishing for walleyes (pickeral) in Rice & what are the prefered methods for summer & fall. Does this lake og through a fall turnover with it's shallow depth?
Thanks in advance for any replies. John

Rice Lake is a busy lake. There are usually a lot of boats on it, but there are abundant walleye...probably no trophies though. It has it's share of tournaments too. It's close to many urban areas and is not on that dreaded northern route to cottage country, so fairly easy access makes it popular to those just going for a days fishing. I've fished it 4-5 times only several years ago. It's one of the ugliest lakes in Ontario. You will see many unorthadox fishermen there..I am not going to post exactly what I mean but if you think long enough you'll figure it out. As far a methods, virtually everyone is jigging all the time. If you are thinking of going there, read all the posts about Percy Reach. It's close by.
Stay off the pipe...and don't forget to wipe.
