The bite continues to be fantastic!! How would you like to catch lots and lots of walleyes, some pushing three to four pounds, pike that have weighed up to 15 pounds, or even some bonus jumbo perch. We have had many clients that have caught pike, bass, perch, and walleye all in the same day. Life is darn good here on Devils Lake and it seems like every week we wonder when the bite is going to slow down but it keeps going...
Presentations have varied from live bait and crawlers to trolling salmos. Seems like there are days when the cranks are better and there are days when live bait is the ticket. Best depths have been 8-25 ft. of water. Walleyes are hungry and this might be the best bite that we have had all year!! If you would like to get in on some great fishing, give us a call!!

Fishing remains good!! Where is this summer going to... Lots of walleyes are being caught at a variety of different depths. It is really fun now because you never know what you are going to catch. We have seen everything from 8 inch up to 25 inch walleyes. The majority of the walleyes have been in the 14-16 inch range. There have been several dandy pike caught while we are fishing for walleyes and we have even had the occasional perch. Some of our perch have been flat out huge!! Seems like the size of fish can vary from day to day. One day you might find a school of 14-16 inchers and the next day they might be 16-19 inchers. Also, it seems like there are days when the fish are tight on spots and other days they are scattered. We have had our best luck pulling live bait rigs and trolling cranks. There are days we have had great luck pitching jigs and plastics as well. Best depths seem to be in that 8 to 17 ft. range; however, we have caught fish shallower and deeper than that.
Best tip to give you would be to cover water until you find active fish. Don't be afraid to try different presentations and depths, with a  bit of persistence, you will be on fish!!

Good luck to all, if you want to get out to Devils Lake and enjoy some of this great fishing, shoot us an email or give us a call and we will make it happen!

And the bite goes on!!! I know I sound like a ‘broken record,’ but the walleyes are still smacking. I’m not sure if there is really a magical spot to fish because they seem to be all over. Some days live bait is the ticket and other days it is cranks or plastics. Depths can vary as well. Devils Lake is not your traditional walleye fishing lake because there are days when we catch fish in the middle of the day with the sun beating down and flat calm in 2-4 feet of water. My point is don’t be afraid to try different places until you connect with the active school. For sure the most consistent depths have been that 8-14 ft of water.

Bass have been active in the shallow water and we have caught several dandy pike while we are fishing walleyes. Many of them have hit on the smaller walleyes that we have caught, what a blast!! Good luck to all!

Fishing is "crazy good" on Devils Lake right now! We are catching lots and lots of walleyes!! Many of them are in that 15-19 inch range. Water temps are in the 70's and the weeds are growing daily. Find weeds and you find the bait, which equals hungry walleyes. Best depths seem to be that 8-14 ft range; however, we have caught fish as shallow as 2 ft and as deep as 20. The best aspect about Devils Lake fishing is that you can fish however you prefer to catch them. Vertical jigging and slip-bobbering, pitching jigs and plastics or cranks, pulling live bait rigs, and trolling has all been deadly for walleyes. 

We are catching some nice pike mixed in the walleyes and the bass have been good in shallow. Not all shorelines hold them and they move around a lot, but once you find them it is a "gong show."

This is truly some of the best fishing of the year and it should stay awesome for quite awhile. July and August are great months to fish out here.  If you would like to experience some world class fishing, give us a call and we will make it happen.  Many of our clients have commented on how good the bite is and there are times when even I can't believe how good it is. We are fortunate to be on a great lake.

Good luck fishing to all!

Fishing is fantastic on Devils Lake right now!! We are catching walleyes all over the lake in depths from 4-20 feet. We have caught walleyes bobbering, jigging, live bait rigging, pitching, and trolling. Worms and leeches are the ticket for live bait and it seems like and cranks with an orange belly is hot. Jigs and plastics are working as well. We are catching many fish in that 14-18 inch range. Seems like everyday we catch a few fish over 20 inches as well. The water is warm and now is the time to get to Devils Lake and enjoy some great fishing!!
If you would like to book a trip, give us an email or call and we will make it happen! Good luck to all and have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!!

I must say that I am truly impressed with how good the fishing has been despite major winds, rain, and cold fronts we have had off and on the past week. Seems like the wind has blown from a different direction everyday. Our water temps dropped about 10 degrees but they are slowly climbing back up!!

As far as the fishing there are many different presentations that are working right now for walleyes. Many of our guides are still pitching jigs/plastics and cranks into the shallows. Usually, the best best is to follow the wind (but not always.) We have also had days where the live bait has been the ticket. Bottom bouncers and spinners or slow death rigs tipped with leeches or crawlers. We have also had some great bobber bites. Our best depths are anywhere from 3-14 feet of water.  Seems like there are 14-16 inch eyes everywhere. We have many 17-22 inch fix mixed with a few over 22 inches most days.

Bass are in the shallows with the walleyes. Seems like if you cover enough water you will run into them. We are seeing many larger bass mixed in with some smaller ones as well.

Pike have been caught in shallow but we are not catching quite as many as we were a few weeks ago. However, we had some really slough sharks hitting witch always makes it fun!! Look for bigger pike to get more aggressive for the second half of June. This is usually the best time of year for a true monster pike!!

So overall life is good on the waters of Devils Lake! We have had a busy summer and the future looks busy as well. If you would like to get out and have some fun, give us a call. Also, some of the best action of the year is coming up...Fishing in July and August can be awesome on Devils and if you would like to experience the action, we would be more than happy to take you out! Thanks, and good luck to all!!

Fishing is excellent on Devils Lake right now!! We are catching lots of walleyes (anywhere from 13-25 inchers) and pike are mixed in with the eyes. We have had some absolute brutes for pike with many in that 34-40 inch category. Water temps have exploded and with the warm weather fish are being caught in lots of different places. The best bet for eyes and pike is still shallow (find weeds and reeds) and life should be pretty good. We have done a lot of pitching of cranks and jigs/plastics as usual. Slip-bobbers with leeches has produced many nice eyes as well. Best depth are in the 2-10 ft of water. Many people are also working that 10-18 ft range with bottom bouncers and spinners and fish are being caught.
Bass are a bit spotty, but look for them to really turn on any day.
Overall, the bite is great and there are lots of places you can fish and many different presentations that will work, good luck to all!!
