Fishing at Rice Lake, Toombs County, Georgia

• Overview

  Rice Lake is one of the Toombs County waters in Georgia. It sits in open plain. At 19 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On our Toombs County list it sits near the top for size. Start from Vidalia, 8.1 miles down the road. Savannah is the closest city, 79 miles away. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Rice Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Fish Rice Lake to its features, not to its size. Watch the surface for movement before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 48°F in January and 81°F in July. Cold never closes this one. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. That is the shape of the year on Rice Lake. Warm spells bring fish up, cold snaps push them down.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm.
