History & Status of the Fishery
Following two attempts at reclamation and a 2000-2001 winterkill, Rice Lake appears to be shifting toward black bullhead domination. Black bullhead catches were high at over 100 per net for both gill nets and trap nets. Size distribution was well balanced suggesting consistent reproduction. The size distribution includes a good proportion of large individual and should provide good angling opportunity of this species. Black crappies were also netted in high numbers. Size structure was favorable with many fish exceeding 8 inches in length. Bluegills were also present in high numbers but the average size was relatively small. Bluegill were general age-5 or younger and if growth remains good, the fishery for this species should improve in the near future. Despite frequent stocking of northern pike and walleye, viable populations apparently failed to establish as the only 3 pike and no walleye were captured.
