About the Fishing:

Devils Lake produces the following species of fish: Walleye, Northern Pike, White Bass, and Jumbo Perch.

Best methods for catching fish include:

Pitching crank baits and jigs along the shorelines
Vertical jigging and slip-bobbering in the trees
Pulling lindy-rigs or bottom bouncers and spinners off of points or flooded roads
Trolling cranks along the old shoreline or weedlines

There are many different methods that can be used to catch fish on Devils Lake. Ice out is typically mid April on Devils Lake and weather is the biggest factor on the bite after ice out. Some years we hit the pre-spawn just right and bite is tremendous for big fish. Other years, we seem to miss it and the bite can be hit or miss. Usually, around mid to late May, we see the water temperature increase and the shallow water bite begins. It is some of the best fishing of the year for trophy fish and there are days when you catch many huge fish. We continue to fish shallow and we follow the fish deeper and deeper as summer progresses. By mid to late July we will be fishing both shallow and deep. Fish can be consistently caught in all depths during July. Come late July and right through August and September, the bite traditionally moves deeper and we seem to be stay deep until late fall when the fish move back up shallow again.

The only rule we have with fish is "there are no rules". What we mean by this is that usually fish are where they are suppose to be, but every now and then they will throw us a curve ball and we need to adjust. We are not afraid to try new ideas and mix things up when fish aren't where they are suppose to be. We have a team of guides that communicate on the water and let each other know how the bite is going. This is a big advantage to all of our clients and we feel that our TEAM approach to our fishing has really been productive and helpful over the years. We realize that this is your vacation, and we pride ourselves on putting fish in the boat and working as hard as we can to accomodate all of your needs. We hope to see you on the water!
