Riffe is a great lake I know there are a lot of people that would disagree. Below should help you get started.
Baits- Jerk baits, Rattle traps, spinner bait, Foot ball heads, Swim baits, Drop shot, all work well.
Areas- fish the flats on the left side coming from the campground and the flat on the right side.
This time of the year the fish will be on the flats in about 2 to 8 feet of water morning bite is always the best. Once the wind starts blowning and trust me it will. If you can stay on the water and fish any windy points or wind blown shore line should produce.
Wind is a key factor on Riffe it can be a pain to fish in but your best fish will normally come when the wind is blowing.

John Mark - I HATE this lake, it is not a dislike, it is a vehement hatred. Now my fishing partner likes it as much as I hate it. It seems like it is either red hot, or colder than a welldiggers....you know where I'm headed. I seem to hit it on the cold days. The area you are referring to is correct, there is a huge flat, that everyone BUT me catches them on. Hobbs also does quite well, and I'm sure between he and Reimers, they can steer you in the right direction.
There an actual fishing post.
Doesn't mean it will continue.
You look like you could be Potter's twin
Nice report of it Rick...Ihave never fished it for smallies,sounds like everyone is saying fish the flats..well are we gonna have 18 boats tied up together or is it a HUGE area?Maybe i will just take my confidence baits and fish elsewhere on the lake,they gotta be other places than kosmos u think?points and kosmos?
Rick Crawford said:hey whats up i fished an open there last weekend my cousin and i finished 10 th not great but the diffenence between 10th and 3 rd was less then 2 lbs there was alot of limits brought in and 16 plus won it. I love this lake i don't always catch size but the numbers are always there. Weighed in just short of 10 lbs with 5 fish our biggest was 2.8 caught it on the flat across from cosmos boat ramp had a limit there in 45 min. caught about 15 fish all day and called 3 times jigs in about 10-15 feet use the wind to drag and if it really picks up hit points. Fish cosmos hard with a jig and drop shot and you should pick up some fish. Crankbaits in craw colors work great two. Don't forget to loosen the drag the smallies in this lake fight like its there last meal. water was 64-67 and really high. watch for debri and good luck let me know how you do. Fish on rick.
