Fun times on Devils Lake!!

Tis the season to be shallow!! Devils Lake has become world famous for the fantastic shallow water fishing that happens every spring/early summer. This is that special time of year! Pike are absolutely insane right now, big pike, small pike, and nice size pike are in the system in high numbers. We have walleyes too, of course! The walleye bite is getting better each and every day! The key is warm weather. We are projected to have more warm and sunny days which should really get things going.


Key areas to fish right now include: rock piles, flooded roads, weed beds, cattails, and flooded trees. Seems like the warmest water has the newest vegetation, which has the bugs, bait, etc., which brings the dandy walleyes and feisty pike into feed. Best baits include jig/plastic combos and cranks. Slip-bobbers can produce as well!!

Please remember to practice catch and release on the bigger fish! Good luck to all! It is time to get out and enjoy some great fishing,  and weather with friends/family!
