Rib Lake - Spring
Generally, the spring months of March, April, and May are very dynamic. Weather conditions can vary greatly from year to year. Because spring is a transition between winter and summer, this is a remarkable time.
As the snow melts, days get longer and warmer, plants and trees begin another cycle of growth. Mark your calendars for the first Saturday in May for Fishing Season, opening weekend.
Plan on being in Rib Lake for your outdoor sports and recreation time. For details, see our Spring Fun Activities page.
