Devils Lake ND

Got back from devils ,fishing was good but really had to work for them , average was better this year around 20 inches .

Nice, been years since I have been there. What techniques worked for you?

Salmo Hornets casting , Slip bobber with leeches ,Cabelas Lemon Meringue plastic grub 1/8 jig and after accumulating thousands of dollars worth of lures a .99 cent Yellow Beetle Spin ! Caught them casting and trolling the Beetle Spin . The eyes we caught were definitely relating to the weeds. Tried rock piles on connected lake and nothing . It did not help a cold front came through and lowered the water temp. The guides were still getting clients their limits, i guess that’s why they get the big money Saw some phenomenal catches at the cleaning house brought in by guides .This the first time in 4 years we did not limit out in 2 days. We fished the 3rd day to get my buddys limit and i fell 2 short on the eyes. Must have caught 50 Northerns biggest being 32 . After the 2nd day the hammer handle northern were just wearing us out, it was a love hate relationship in the end

Still sounds like a fun trip, i hope to get back out there again.

did you have any luck in pelican or six mile bay or did try them?

No never made it there, was on Dry and Mikes
