Modern technology and its impact on fishing as a whole, is quickly becoming more common and in some situations, extremely controversial. I'm sure everyone reading the first sentence of this article thinks I'm talking about the fish-catching impact. Of course, it all...
We finally got reminded what a good old fashioned cold snap feels like again earlier this week. The hard freeze did firm up a few areas on the lake. My fear however is this will be a short term fix with the 10 day forecast looking pretty nice. Amazingly the fish...
I took the mid week fishing report off this week. Some of the reason is things are just in stall mode in the ice fishing world. The conditions have not gotten better at all. In some cases it's gotten worse. Again, there are some slush pockets on Devils Lake that will...
I think I should rename these to fishing blogs or something like that? I feel at times it is mostly information to help give you you an idea of conditions etc etc. So once again not much has changed here in North Dakota as far as the ice, snow, slush and access for...
As we enter the second half of January, especially up here on Devils Lake. We will begin to experience a slow down of sorts in terms of bites. The depth finders will stay pretty busy with fish marks. However, the biters will tend to be fewer are farther between....
Things kind of have remained the same here in all across North Dakota. The weather has been pretty darn considering. I'm a little nervous about it, I'm guessing we will pay dearly for it eventually. Lake access and snow are still causing us headaches. On the warmer...
I'm happy to report my last fishing report didn't jinx the weather. We have had some remarkable good weather here up on Devils Lake. Crazy to think just a year ago up here we were setting blizzard records. My gut is telling me however, we are gonna probably pay for...
We have been really lucky with the weather lately here in North Dakota. I probably jinxed it for everyone, but honestly it's been pretty darn good. We still have a lot of snow and slush we are battling on a daily basis. Kinda just part of the game this season. I know...
No change for seen at the moment. I do believe we are dodging a huge huge bullet, missing the upcoming snow storm. Looks as though it will stay south. This is good new for the lakes around North Dakota and especially up here on Devils Lake. It's still a battle of snow...
If you are looking for a challenge, ice fishing this winter anywhere for the most part in North Dakota is where it is at. It is definitely not for the weak minded. With all the snow especially on Devils Lake we are beginning to see slush and a lot of it. Any area of...
Well, if I've said it once I'll say it again. If you don't have tracks of some sort, don't even bother. More snow fell on the Devils Lake basin this past week. The ice is good, but I did experience a few slush pockets again today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed slush...
Merry Christmas to everyone! As I write this fishing report, I feel like we have already had a long winter and it isn't even January yet. One can only hope for a break in the weather. A little warm up is on the way which will be nice. Unfortunately, we do have a ton...
I have a feeling this is going to be a long winter. Not because the fishing sucks, but because of the extreme weather we seem to be getting on the daily. The snow is piling up fast around North Dakota and I think it's gonna continue to do so. If anyone out there that...
I wish I could personally say I had a better report for everyone this Sunday. Unfortunately it's been a week of cancelations and shoveling. I do have clients in this afternoon, and we will be venturing back out onto Devils Lake in the morning. My guide partners have...
Here we go again! Just as I was getting into the swing of things, we get pounded by another major snow storm here in the Dakotas. Now instead of out searching for fish, I'm in a scramble to get the tracks on the side by side. I feel the tracks are gonna be a must this...
Finally have a few days on the ice guiding up here on Devils Lake. The cold snap definitely firmed up the ice and I'd say we have on average 10 plus inches all over the lake. Quite a few ridges out there, most are quiet at the moment, but with the snow they are...
A little late (sorry new phone) I was trying to get all my apps etc redownloaded. Took a little longer than I expected, but we are back up and running again and, look out! Fishing reports galore now again from Devils Lake. Ice conditions are better than I expected. We...
We have the perfect ice building weather starting this week. With that and so many out on the ice already finding success the ice fishing season is in full swing. For me, especially never knowing when the ice will be safe enough. I usually don't schedule anything...
