    Anglers across our area are experiencing some good fishing for a variety of species. Walleye action has been steady at dusk. Jig and minnow combinations are working but leeches are also making up some nice catches. We are seeing mayflies on the water so the walleye bite might slow a bit but fish will still be catchable. Walleyes are found on weed e...

    When Wisconsin anglers think of Devils Lake, they usually think of the wonderful trout fishing that this 369 acre spring-fed lake offers. Devils Lake was formed where the glaciers stopped their southern movement in central Wisconsin thousands of years ago.
