mford Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 It is a really weedy lake, bring some weedless stuff. I didnt get anything major when i was there/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centre_Pin_Assasin Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You should be ok for the most part now weeds are still low but will be everywhere soon. best bet is fish near bottombat about 15 to 25 ft with minnows and or worms. and there are walleye, perch , and bass. so good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass2mouth Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Your best friend at rice is a spinner bait, hit weeds on the shore line by budley marina. There is also a sunken railroad tracks that always holds, and around the islands are good. You'll catch fish for sure up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slevin Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Fish on the EDGE of the weed beds, also nite fishing, floating repal and a good light and wear GLOVES to remove hooks at nite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscrazy Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Use multi coloured twisters and gigg them straight threw the weed beds . Also a little trick it to dip them in garlic before casting. U will get most pickerel with a few monster bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Guy Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 i'd stay away from the spinner baits, you'll only be pulling bass off their spawning beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Guy Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 need current. whereabouts on the lake is that lodge? lots of current on the east end where it narrows at hastings. you can also find strong current below the dam at hastings beside the locks. you will need a net as that pier is around 5' above the water. i believe you need to keep 25 yards from the dam or you can get a ticket. the indian river at keene should also have current. if you want to fish from shore, there are 4 hydro dams between hastings and campbellford which always has good current. only problem is those spots is that it will be packed as this is the second weekend. i agree with larry jigs, streamers and rapalas all the way.

blue pilgrim Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I had good luck with Livetarget perch. There is a white church on the north shore ( I think it's north), just troll along the weed lines a few hundred feet off of the shoreline there.
