Devils Lake Fishing Report

With the recent NWT event on Devils Lake a lot has taken place. The lake was somewhere between ok and good. Now after recent discoveries of some super deep fish people are finding out Devils Lake still is one of the best fisheries in the world! With it taking a 5 pound average per fish to win it proves just how good this Lake still is! Guiding on this lake the last 3 years this has been one of toughest but still a tough day on Devils Lake is better than 90 percent of the walleye lake across the country.  To target big fish triple lead core and deep divers. To catch fish for the frying pan stick to jigs and spinners. Still a great walleye fishery and always will be!
