Lure Lightning Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have been to Devils Lake many times and can tell you from experience that it is helpfull to have a guide the first time out. Our first time was a waste of a lot of gas in the auger and vehicles. That being said you will have a great time there and just like any other new lake talk with the bait shops and resorts and they should be able to get you on a few fish.

meatfish Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Do they still do the perch train thing?I saw it advertised a couple years back,you just hop off the train and they bring you to the fish.I think it was an all inclusive trip with room and all and looked like a blast.I'll google it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reservoir Dawg Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You buy licenses on line at N Dak fish and game. Its really easy and you're all set once you get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatfish Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I just called them and they sell out of state license at their bait shop 3 day $17.50, 10 day $27.50,1 year April-March $37.50 He also stated that you can have 4 lines and the perch bite is alot like MN.early and late ice.but the pike and walleye are fairly steady through the season.Looking at their web site this looks like a great place.

looneyducer Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 That's my old backyard! I'll spend most of my ice time on the road this season just to fish there.Get ahold of Dosch. He posts a fishing report on the North Dakota Forum and fishes with a guy to show them the intricacies of what is working. I went to high school with the guy -- good fisherman, if a little protective of his perch. As for times, early and late of course, both for the day and the season, but outside of that, who cares as long as you're fishin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peerchking Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 there are nice eyes in that lake as well as some big nort's,but if you can get them perch bitting that's where it's at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
