Snuck out early to the recently stocked lake ??? Like Brohm lake, they didn't seem to be biting. I did see some little cruisers close to shore, but the powerbait was quiet for 2 hours. Kids had fun collecting tadpoles, and we did manage to capture a little rainbow that was swimming on his side. Right ventral fin was missing, so around and around he went.
Maybe they stuff them full of food before they release them as to give them some time to cope with catching their own food. I don't know, but it was sure nice and quiet.

Is powerbait the best thing to use at Rice? Or could you use spoons,spinners,flys etc.?
-
Headshake, maybe a protest at the hatchery should be organized to express our frustration? ;)

For Rice Lake, we've done well on shrimp, dew worm, spinners...
-
Personally I haven't had much luck with the power bait at Rice lake, what works for me is small garden worms. Dew worms will work but I think the smaller worms are better, I use small hooks and thread a small piece of the worm on the hook as if you were putting on a sock, usually fish two or so feet under a float, on sunny days you may want to try deeper.

Ok thanks for the artical Rod.
And thanks to Lucky as well :)
-
today they seemed to be taking to spinners, especially ones that involved the color pink, also a brass spoon that I would have used for coho. quite a few fish on their sides, one guy said he caught two by hand, seemed quite proud???
-
Isn't that illegal ?
-
if it's not illegal, it's certainly immoral, and not something of which you'd be proud! what's really funny, or maybe just bad, is that he actually hinted that one of the fish was dead and just barely floating. He had no hesitation in showing me the fish, and they had both been gutted, ready for some good eatin', do I hear banjoes???

I was at buntzen the other day. Landed 10 in 2 hours. I think the reason for a high catch was because they stalked it a few days before :)
-
That might be it! ;D I certainly are gonna get out there pretty soon...hopefully ;D

-
anyone got any tips on Rice Lake...
-
Spent a couple hours there today. We didn't get so much as a nibble or rise, and didn't see any of the other 8 or so fishermen get anything. People were using everything from worms, to the fly to those orange mini marshmallow things.
Maybe the fish were schooled up at the other end.
-
:o :o :o :o
anyone else got any reports..... i wonder when the bite starts...
-
fished for 5 hours on sunday without a single bite....around 10 people were also fishing from the dock...seen nobody catching anything. Very furstrating :-\
