Devils Lake Chamber of Commerce Tourney

I used to fish that tourney - it was a fun one.  Weather seemed to be tough.    Horsager correct me if I am wrong but  thinking about it the road to grahams was closed and they raised the road back in 90's.   If I remember the park was closed like a whole year.   It wasnt till sometime later shelvers closed.  I know we spent alot of time fishing the marina and the campground area - good snagging area.    I think most of the roads that a person uses now have been built higher.   

I remember one year when Hi-way 57 asphalt claimed some rangers - busted that high priced fiberglass like a twig.  They float when full of water - no doubt about that .  

Remember when:

1. the wonderbread color, clown, ...........
2. the bigger the better 
3. Deep long A bombers
4. When nobody heard of salmo - and if they did they would of smiled at the size
5. Husky jerks - how many did i leave of them in the lake
6. Thundersticks - weight em up
7. Planer boards

aahhh how times change when the lake gets older.  She might get a little spark of youth this summer.   good fishing.  See ya when she warms up.

for what it is worth, i think the old record was a couple of years ago and was a tad bit over 1449.  we now stand at something like 1448.5 and i think they are predicting at least 1551.  i would be suprised if it doesn't go higher.  i'm relatively young, but we ain't seen this kind of runnoff in at least ten years. 

yUP that water has risen - what is the level of that dike holdin it back from town?? will it take 1551?
