Boy River

The Little Boy Chain includes Wabedo, Little Boy, Rice and Inguadona lakes. Although navigation is possible throughout the chain, shallow water, low bridges and weed growth in the channels can restrict the passage of larger boats. The channel between Little Boy Lake and Wabedo Lake is narrow and the highway bridges have limited vertical and horizontal clearances. Weed growth in the channel between Rice and Little Boy lakes can be very heavy during low-water periods.

White sucker and cisco are utilized heavily by muskie and large northern pike. Largemouth bass target juvenile bluegill, while perch are the preferred forage for walleye. Spottail shiner, bluntnose minnow and golden shiner are also present.

In early spring, there is a pre-spawn movement of northern pike, muskie and walleye into Rice Lake and the shallow channel between Little Boy Lake and Wabedo Lake.
