Devils lake

[ufflmaster]

The state park in Wisconsin...not the Dakota's one. How is the ice fishing there?

Sorry I can't help. All I know about Devil's Lake is a few years back a guy (state trooper) was out in a canoe dangling his feet over the side to cool off. Musky thought it was food and tore him up pretty badly. Lotsa stitches... No help but a good story (and a true one).

Been a while since I have been there, work the edges for panfish and sport fish (look for holes where people have already fished). If you are looking for Trout they are out in the deeper water, it is like a big bowl, they just keep swimming around so use something flashy to get their attention.

I believe the Musky story from below was actually on Twin Valley lake in Governor Dodge state park, I think Devils lake has Northern but don't remember Musky being there.

Good Luck.

Now you said that, you are correct. I don't know why I keep confusing the two (ain't the first time). Thanks!

Last time I was at Devils lake state park we got busted for having fireworks. (Ok M80's) maybe 35 years ago.

Never got pike or pannies through the ice.  Only trout.  Dead sticks with fat heads, jigging spoons, raps, etc., to get their attention.  Get away from the crowds, and you’ll find them.  It’s a bowl, as previously said, so work out at different depths.  Your flasher is barren, then a mark and a hit.  Don’t take your eyes off the blank screen.  Freezes late, so be careful.
