Took the train and went fishing at Devils lake for two days this past week. Poor fishing to say the least. One 19" walleye and three white bass for five guys over two full days. We used fish houses of the resort. One day in 45' water, the next in 18' near dead trees. Did not mark many fish either. Low results were the normal reports in the evening talking to others. On the last evening one group from Indiana claimed 65 perch while out w/ a Patrol guide far west of the resort.

Very nice people, accomodations, & fish houses and it was a neat experience to ride a train.

Thats too bad it was slow up there. My buddies were up there a few weeks ago and it was non stop on the walleyes for the first two days, and got into the perch on the last day. It probably helped that my buddy's uncle lives on the lake. I wouldn't doubt the claim of 65 perch. If you really get on them, you can catch a 100+ in a day. I missed out first time around this year, but I am hoping to get back up there later this month. Devils is one of my favorite lakes to ice fish.

Well just got back from the big lake. Three day 24 wally 1 jumbo and four whitties. Tried all over the lake with no luck on the structure point from 10ft to 36 ft. Friday spent the day searching not but wind.Drill about two hundred holes with no luck. Saturday set up by the casino in fourty six feet on the flats and caught all the fish, consistantly throughout the day. Today nada same spot just finicky and no bitters. Had to leave early for the trip home, Minnesota seven hours home what a drive. All in all not a bad trip four the four of us. Nice resort woodlands cabins.

Hey Rangerforme, were you staying at? You going to be targeting walleye or pike? We like to target walleye, and perch. This will be our 3rd annual trip up there is March, everyother year we have came home with more than enough fish.

Selas,

We are staying at the great american inn in town. There will be 3 of us as of now. If you guys want to meet up and hit the bars and [PoorWordUsage] at night or want some company fishing let me know. My email is [YouNeedAuthorization]@inetium.com. It will be our first trip, but i'll hopefully have lots of help in locating fish from a few local guys.

I really want to get some perch, we'll have wheelers and plenty of augers if you guys want to do some searching with us.

Thanks,

Paul

Rangerforme, we are staying at west Bay resort out west of town. I would like to at least get a phone number so if a guy runs into a few fish we could let each other know how they are biteing, and maybe grab a beer, but seems you cant put your email adress on here, so I am not sure how to contact you? We hope to be able to drive on as usual, or if things dont look good we will bring the wheelers also, there will be 3 groups of us searching for fish, and 9 guys so we should be able to track some down. I tried to PM ya but it didnt let me do that either?

When you guys get there tell Diane Travis sent ya, she will know who that is! They are great people and do there best to make your stay comfortable. Rangerforme, look for me at westbay if you stay there, I will be in a Red chev reg cab with a white topper, if you see me on the lake stop and say hi also. Seems on this site they do not let you put your email down??

Fished Friday and Saturday. Friday was slow, could find the perch but couldn't make them bite. Fish 6 mile bay that evening, caught nothing but a few white bass. Once again found the perch Saturday but couldn't make them bite, fished the evening by the casino and got a few walleyes, biggest being 19" and 22". Driving on ice was good as soon as you got off the roads. The roads are a bit scary with all the water on them. All the accesses have to be really tough by now as they were deteriorating rapidly when we left.
