Devils Lake is massive!

Its catastrophic rise in the early 90’s swallowed up thousands upon thousands of acres.  Everything from farmland and smaller bodies of water to subdivisions and occupied dwellings.  The initial rise was so abrupt, some families had time to pack bags and get out.

This troubled time for the Lake Region caused a lot of heartache and turmoil for many in and around Devils Lake.  Much was done and probably more not done to stem the tide.  Eventually, outlets were put in and the lake has stabilized a little.  The state now has the means to take some water off the lake.  Evaporation helps as well and things have gotten back to a resemblance of normalcy for most.

There are still people every spring being effected by the seasonal rise in the spring.  Our family farm is one of those areas, so heavy snowfall years are always stressful.

Beneficial By-Product

To every cloud there is always a silver lining.  Epic water rises and strong inflows of 14,000+ CFS from the northern reaches of the basin created a virtual nursery for all species of fish swimming the waters of the Big Devil.

This has made for one of the best and most traveled to fisheries in the continental United States for:

 Walleye

Yellow Perch

Northern Pike

White Bass.

Crappie

The waters of Devils Lake are teeming with fish.  The biota mass of Devils Lake is mind boggling.  With more shoreline than the state of California and varying ecological conditions throughout the fishery, the fishing opportunities and the techniques one can use to catch fish touch just about everything there is out there.

A Problem For Some

The approximately 42,000 acres of 1988 was a salty brine slough.  There were fish, more pike than anything else but a lot of Jumbo Perch and some Walleyes.  Devils Lake was a destination in the winter but not so much as a summertime open water fishery.

Stocking was required and natural reproduction for most species was troublesome at best.

The massive influx of water and newly flooded vegetation changed all of that.  It created an aquatic wonderland for the 4  major species of fish (Walleye, Perch, Northern Pike, White Bass).  There is abundant natural reproduction occurring right now in the lake and the populations of Northern Pike and Walleyes are booming.

The Perch are coming back strong and finally filling back into their niche and the White Bass continue their hill-and-valley cyclical numbers game.

Crappie numbers are on the rise.

Knowing that there are booming numbers of fish would make the average fisherman think that Devils Lake should be an easy limit lake.  Go fish and catch your limit.

It doesn’t always work out that way!

Even for seasoned veterans, guides, and tournament fishermen; the Big Devil can be just that, THE DEVIL.

We have always attested to the principle that 90% of the fish can be found in 10% of the water.  It is all a matter of finding that 10%.  When you are now talking about roughly 240,000 acres in the entire basin, that can be tough at times.

We Are Here To Help

Often times, tourists that venture to Devils Lake only have a limited amount of time to seek out this 10%.  For the angler that lives in or around Devils Lake, staying abreast of the trends, movements, and transitions of the fish is doable and at times even easy.  It can frustrate at times but fishing these plentiful waters day after day and year after year and keeping accurate records of the trips, the trends and transitions become predictable.

It is those records that allow us to offer you both historical packages and our repeated trips on the water allow us to offer you real-time information of where the fish are at RIGHT NOW.

We strive to do this as much as possible at a very affordable price.  We want you, we need you to CATCH MORE FISH!  If you don’t, you won’t return and your return keeps us doing what we are doing.

A Little Bit More

Whether you have fished Devils Lake before and want a little bit of a different experience, you have fished it before and struggled and want a crash course, or have never fished it and feel intimidated

-OR-

You are a novice and just want to catch some fish or have relatives that want to enjoy Devils Lake for the day!

We have an added feature that will help you.

You can experience Devils Lake as we experience it.  The search and discovery of Walleyes, Perch, and hopefully a Crappie or two on the vast expanse of blue waters.

Come join us on a guided trip, 8 hours minimum of casting, jigging, and trolling the limitless structures and weed beds of THE BIG DEVIL.

Not The Norm

Being guided by DLFR is not like your run of the mill guided trip.  We don’t want to guide everyday, we want to explore everyday.  We want to stay abreast of fish movements so that when we do have friends, family, and YOU in the boat with us, we are on fish.  Quality time in the boat so that you don’t have wasted days of a vacation.

We are in no hurry.  We are not going to try to shuffle you off of our boat.  We are going to take you on a guided trip of this wonderful fishery.  There are a whole lot more opportunities than ‘just Walleyes’.

We are Perch hunters both winter and summer and pride ourselves on being able to find them in the Summer when often others don’t even try.

Bring yourself, bring a friend, bring your family.  The boat will fish 3 comfortably, four with a little adjusting.  Bring your GPS, we are here to teach you how to be successful on Devils Lake and the use of coordinates and waypoints is… well… kind of our specialty.

For a deposit of $100 and a total fee of $350.00; one, two, or three people will experience Devils Lake as we experience it everyday.

Good Luck Out There!!

Hold On To Your Rod…

And…

CATCH MORE FISH!!
