ND Fishing Report (Devils lake)-June 8th, 2025

Just another up and down week up here on Devils Lake.  Seems like the fish are starting to transition a little and pulling out to main lake structures. 

Of course there is still a casting and pitching bite happening.  As things move forward here, more and more walleyes will be found on the old roads, old shoreline, points, and sunken humps.

This does make guiding a little easier on folks who are not the best at casting and pitching jigs.  Bouncers and spinners will be the presentation of choice helping us cover a lot more water and faster. 

Slip bobbers on that same structure will also work.  Another thing we are just now starting to notice is a little bit of an algae bloom.  This also makes fishing a little easier keeping the walleyes from being so spooky, and they will actually allow you to go over them with the boat. 

I don’t have any openings until August and September at this time for Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea.  I’m also beginning to book my Fall River trips which always begin October 1st near Bismarck.
