• Where to Fish on Rhyne Lake Number Two

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Gaston County records list bluegill, redbreast sunfish, striped jumprock, white sucker and green sunfish among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Rhyne Lake Number Two for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Robinsons Lake sits 2 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Rhyne Lake Number Two.
