The bite is on!

Walleye, bass, pike, and even some bonus jumbo perch are all biting on Devils Lake!

Water temps continue to rise, weed beds are growing, and fish are active!!

We have caught fish pitching jigs/plastics and cranks. Play the wind for best results. We have also done a lot of slip bobbering with leeches. Best depths have been 3-10 ft.

The majority of fish are being found in shallow bays; however,they can be found just about anywhere now! This is a great time of year to be a lake good luck and enjoy the bite!!!

Tis the season to catch walleye!!

The bite is fantastic! We are starting to see lots of the 14-18 inch walleyes showing up! These are the best ones for the frying pan and they seem to be all over the place. We are still catching some big eyes as well, there are just more of the eater class biting of late. Pike are still in shallow and on the feed as well as the bass. 

We are spending the majority of our days pitching cranks or jigs/plastics. Seems like most of our fish are in the 2-8 ft of water.

Other bites are happening as well. We have had some guides bobbering in the trees with leeches. Some have pulled bouncers and spinners and we have even done pretty good trolling cranks. The key is to stay in shallower water (under 15 ft) is what seems to be the best.

Good luck to all! 

Dandy 28.5 inch walleye caught by Steve Hastings with guide Mark Bry!

The bite on Devils Lake is good! We are catching walleyes,northern pike,and bass in the shallows (2-10ft). The walleyes are healthy and fat and we have had some dandy slough sharks as well! Jigs and plastics have caught the most fish; however, crank baits have also produced at times.

It is a fun time of year because you never know what you're going to catch...There are even some whopper class bass being caught.

Some of our guides have also caught walleyes out in the deeper water (10-18 ft). They have used bouncers and spinners or vertical jigged with leeches and crawlers.

It was a long winter it's time to enjoy some action on the open water!! Good luck to all!!

The bite has been decent. Look for a more consistent bite as soon as we get warmer weather. Water is getting warmer by the day; however, we still need a bit more for the bite to really go. Lots of pike and bass with some dandy eyes mixed in! The bite will continue to get better! Good luck to all!!

Ladies and gentlemen...Start your engines because we have an ice free Devils Lake!! It sure feels good to be on the water after a long winter! As for the bite...We have had some pretty good walleye and pike fishing. Very important to be in or near current. Some fish have spawned, others are spawning, and there are some that will be this week. Culverts, bridges, anywhere there is water coming into the lake are all good places to try. Water temps range from upper 40's to mid 50's. The shallow water back bay bite that Devils Lake is famous for is getting very close, all we need is a few days of warm weather and the water temps will be where they need to be for active fish.

Best presentations include: jigs and plastics, pitching cranks, vertical jigging with leeches or minnows, and slip bobbering with leeches. Of late, a lot of the walleyes we have been catching are males. Most of the females have laid their eggs and the males are now milting.We are close to the shallow water bite exploding on Devils...START YOUR ENGINES!!

Come on warm and wind!! The weather is starting to act more like May and the ice is getting softer by the day. At this point I would not suggest ice fishing on Devils Lake. Ice is getting mushy and the edges are open nearly everywhere on the lake. Channel A area is opening up more and more each day. There have been some pretty good bites happening on ice and in smaller boats in the Six mile bay (Channel A area).

Key to fishing this time of year is to fish current. Anywhere there is water coming into the lake, bridges, culverts, etc. all will hold fish. If we can keep up this nice weather, ice should be off shortly! I am hoping for 10 days... Needless to say, everyone in the Devils Lake area is excited for open water fishing!

If you want to get out and experience some of the best walleye, bass, and pike fishing in the country, give us a call or shoot us an email and we will make it happen!
