Rice River Flowage
Rice River Flowage is a mid-sized, river-influenced flowage west of Rhinelander with stained water, marshy edges, and winding channels.
It leans heavily toward anglers and paddlers who enjoy exploring back bays and timber rather than open-water recreation. Its semi-wild feel is appealing to some, but it does not compete with the region’s clearer or more scenic lakes in overall desirability.

Flowages like Rice River typically hold a mix of walleyes, pike, bass, and panfish, with fish keying on current breaks, wood, and weed edges. Anglers often float or slowly motor through channels, pitching jigs, small crankbaits, and live bait rigs to isolated cover and depth changes. The stained water allows fish to feed actively in shallower zones, especially on cloudy or breezy days.
