Is Rice Lake frozen?
« on: January 06, 2011, 09:58:18 PM »
Have 4 hours to myself on Saturday and was wondering if anyone knew that I can get the bait into the zone  :). Need a "fix" badly since I have not fished for a few months. Don't mind at all if I don't get any bites. Just staring at my rod tip since I fish the bottom at this time of the year...as always  ;), will make my day.....just don't want to drive all the way up there to see the lake frozen. Thanks guys.

Good luck, same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, went there and it was all frozen :( I guess because it's alot higher up there, wasn't expecting it to be frozen over and was quite surprised lol!

If you go to the dock area you can likely punch a hole through the ice and dangle a line. I did that the Christmas day before last in the afternoon. On a beautiful sunny day it is good fun.

Went there this weekend, still frozen.  I think it might take a couple more days of mild weather before it thaws completely.

Half of the lake had ice on it, but the other half was ice free. The fishing was slow and only saw 2 jumpers.
