[budboy]

Hows the perch bite been on devils this year, comen up the first week in march?

[riverview]

I was there last weekend and heard a few people got them to bite in very deep water. I tried going deep last weekend on sat afternoon. Marked alot but no bites. I know in creel some are fishing 50 ft

Fish should be biteing better late feb and march.

Thanks we never have problems getting walleyes but the perch seem to kick our butts last couple years.

Heard some great reports of perch action going on this week.

[budboy]

How is the snow up there? Can you drive around ok in a 4x4 truck?

[riverview]

snowmobile or track atv only except on creel bay.

What depth have the perch been in lately?

[riverview]

I havent been to devils lake in a couple weeks but they were fishing deep 38to 50 ft.

[budboy]

Is it getting any better for driven a truck out?

[riverview]

no creel bay and maybe acermans are plowed, but as far as running all over with a pick no way. the only way is something with a track. I am waiting till march before i go back. I cant take any more days of big red marks and no bites.

[budboy]

We are going the 1st-5th of march hopfully things change by then

[pikerliker]

I'm going to be up there 7-10th of March so I'm hoping you can drive a little bit by then too.

Any reports on perch or walleyes, coming up on monday morning?

[riverview]

I am heading out tomorow, I have heard they are pickup a few here and there. 90% of the fishing is between the casino and woodlands because of access.

[budboy]

Cool give us a report please

[pikerliker]

Any updates on the perch? I changed my plans and am now coming up the 13th-16th of March. I will have to stick to plowed roads or walking distance from them as I have no snowmobile's etc. Also does anybody know if there any plowed roads on the West side of the lake?

There is a bait shop in minawakin (spelling?) I think it is called randys bait. That woudl be your best bet for the flats and west side.

Was at DL last Thursday and Friday. We had some luck with perch and did well on walleye. Had to sit on the same area both days due to deep snow conditions. Evening bite made all the boring part of the day worth it. Picked up very few fish during the day. Morning and evening was a blast. Snow was so deep and getting stuck was the norm. Trucks better travel in pairs and have a good 20'-30' tow strap. My first trip to DL....I will be back in april for another go.

What part of the lake did you do so well on perch? A general area would be great i am heading up there at end of march and have always had good luck in the black tiger bay area for the perch, walleyes on the other hand that a diff story they are in one place one day and gone the next out there, but when you do get into them, wow are they thick!

[budboy]

I had my best luck in tiger bay
