Additional Angling Opportunities - Boat Rentals start Sat. April 17th 2010

Beginning Jan. 1st 2010 we have extended seasons for your fishing pleasure on Rice Lake only 1 and a 1/ 2 hours from Toronto Ontario, 20 minutes from Peterborough to Whispering Pines Cottages and Boat and Motor rentals by day or week. Boat rentals start April 17th this year.

There is now New Year Round open season for sunfish, yellow perch, black crappie. Black crappie and bluegill are recent additions to the fish communities of Zone 17. Along with yellow perch and pumpkinseed, these four species are available in high numbers and can provide additional fishing opportunities.
Extended fall seasons for bass and muskie, closes Dec.16th

Excellent angling opportunities are available for bass (largemouth and smallmouth) and muskie in terms of the size and number of fish. Bass and muskie productivity in Rice Lake is high and it is expected that climate change will benefit these species through warmer wateres and a longer growing season. The late fall period offers some of the best bass and muskie fishing opportunities.
