March

[Bobberboy]

I have some vacation time in mid March and was wondering if the perch fishing would still be respectable?
Where would you go?

March perch fishing is what all the locals around Devils Lake wait all year for. March is the best time to find huge schools of perch and most of the biggest perch are taken in March. The only thing bad about March fishing is that the walleyes and Perch are both biting and its hard to choose which one to go after.

Any chance the ice will last for fishing March 22-26? My daughter's spring break is at that time and we want to ride the Perch Express from St. Paul. BTW - If a guy got a room at the Casino would local guides pick you up from there for going out on the lake???

Hopefully we will have ice as late as the end of March. The later in the season we can go the better the perch and walleye fishing seems to get. We pick people up from the casino all the time. IF we do have ice that late you will have no problem getting in on a good bite.

There should be plenty of ice in March. I think the current temp is like -13. Better dust off the ol' extension, ice is getting thick.

Thanks for the info guys! Saturdays I watch so many half hour regional fishing shows with Devil's Lake featured I just have to go up there. Actually no choice not to, this is my new mission in life...
