Fishing on Devils Lake continues to be inconsistent when it comes to perch,
but fairly good for walleyes. Perch fisherman are reporting marking a lot of
fish, but getting them to bite can be frustrating. One day anglers will do
well, and the next day the fish just won't seem to bite. The most consistent
areas have been Creel Bay (the north end, mouth, & Country Club area), the
Dome house/Towers area, the Casino, and East Devils Lake. In these areas
anglers are using hali's, genz worms, buckshots, kastmasters, and hanger rigs
with small jigs like ratso's tipped with wax worms, spikes, or minnow heads.
A plain hook with a minnow below a slip bobber has also been working well at
times. Walleye anglers are reporting a lot of small fish with some eating
sized and larger fish mixed in. The better spots have been sunken rocky areas
or along the edges of the tree lines. Some of the better areas have been the
west shore of Six Mile Bay, Old Mil Bay, the Ft. Totten/Cactus Point area,
Rocky/Military Points, Swansons Point, the Sunken railroad in Mission, and
Stromme Addition, & East Devils Lake. Try jigging sonars and chubby darters,
or buckshots, kastmasters, raps, or nils tipped with minnows or minnow heads.
A few crappie continue to be caught in the early morning and even hours in the
north end of Six Mile Bay. Slip bobbers with minnows are working the best.
Pike fishing continues to be excellent. Lake Irvin and Morrison are producing
the best in numbers but most fish are in the 3-5lb range. For some larger
fish try the sunken Stromme Road or near Channel A in Six Mile. Smelt and
herring continue to be the baits of choice. Good Luck & Good Fishing!!!
