Fishing on Devils Lake continues to be somewhat hampered by heavy snows on the lake. However, trails are starting to improve as many individuals have been creating their own trails in addition to those maintained by the Public Access Committee. As for perch fishing, results have been mixed. Some anglers are reporting fair catches while others are struggling. This past week anglers were finding perch in Black Tiger Bay, Skadsens, East Bay out from the 20 bridge, and the mouth of Creel Bay. Hali's, hanger rigs, and genz worms tipped with spikes, waxworms, minnows, or perch eyes have all been catching fish at times. Walleye fishing continues to be quite good. Anglers are finding fish in Mission Bay, the 57 Bridge area, Wolfords Bay, Rocky Point, and Doc Hagens. Buckshot rattle spoons, nils, raps, and sonars have been the most popular lures. Pike fishing remains fair with fish being caught in the north end of Six Mile Bay and the Mauvee Coulee near Churches Ferry. Smelt, herring, or jigs with white tails have all been producing fish. Good Luck & Good Fishing!!
