Devils Lake (Overview) - Sunday, June 26, 2011

Was out on Friday (24th) and did pretty well. Went up on Pelican Lake and found an isolated patch of flooded trees that the wind was blowing across. Casted #5 firetiger shadraps and jigs with leaches into the trees and caught 5 quality walleyes that ranged from 17.5-23 inches. Also caught a lot of northerns of varying size. The northern to walleye ratio was probably 2:1. I believe in giving credit where credit is due so would like to thank Ed's Baitshop for some good advice on where to try as well as the update on the ramps and road opening status. Also would like to thank the folks at West Bay Campground for letting me clean fish there. They took a bad flooding situation and turned it into a nice campground.

For those who haven't been up to Devil's Lake yet this year, the flooding is real bad. Really need to commit to the area of the lake you want to fish, as you cant boat under bridges and a few ramps are closed. Also expect delays on some roads. Some are down to one lane and you have to wait for pilot cars to escort you through. You read about it all in the news, but when you see all the water its still quite a shock.
