Rice lake depth?
« on: October 26, 2009, 09:32:27 PM »
Hi there, Im new to fishing Rice lake, how deep is it? I havent been able to find any online maps for it.

I assume its full of fallen trees since its a former water shed and man made lake.
I've been using floats and was also wonder what would be the best length of line from the float I should use? I've been using a 3 foot length so far.

thanks everyone

About ~10-' with a 15' trench from one end to the other IIRC.

  I use as much line length from the bobber that I can, and still cast my flies. I only use this method in Rice Lake because you are not allowed any form of water craft and there is no room for backcasting with my fly gear. I have found that the farther away my offering from the float the better.
Another thing I do, is when I cast out I always snap the lever on my reel over just before my fly hits the water, as this snaps the fly out beyond the bobber when it lands on the water, and avoids tangling.
Hope this helps  tight lines
