History & Status of the Fishery
Rice Lake consists of two basins of approximately equal size; maximum depths in each basin are 6 feet and 30 feet.The northern pike gillnet catch was 7.5. Most of the fish sampled were less than 20 inches long. Their growth rate approximates the statewide average growth rate.Gillnet catches of bullheads (3 species) are fairly high. Most of the fish sampled ranged in length from 8 to 12 inches.The bluegill trapnet catch is lower than what occurs in most area lakes. Quality indices are good (PSD = 38; RSD-7 = 17; RSD-8 = 8). The growth rate for bluegill is fast for this area (4 year old fish averages 6.25 inches long).Presumably, due to the types of sampling gear used, few largemouth bass or black crappie were sampled. Night electrofishing should be conducted to better assess those populations.Walleye are present, probably due to the fact that the Boy River flows through Rice Lake.
