Devils Lake Hotels Caters to Sportsmen: Fish Cleaning Stations are a Standard Amenity
It's possible the community of Devils Lake has more fish-cleaning stations per capita than any other resort region.
Four hotels with fish-cleaning stations attract sportsmen and keep them coming back. "They love it," Rick Smith, manager of Sleep Inn said, "It gets a ton of use." Fireside Inn assistant manager Jocelyn Miller said, "Our guests really enjoy our facility." Levi Vilandre, manager of SunLac Inn said, "Our fish grinder can handle anything, and has brought us more customers." Brandi Kuk at the newest motel, the Cobblestone, said, "Quite a few guests have told us they stay here because of our state-of-the-art fish-cleaning station."

It seems like the afternoons and evenings have been best for the bite after the water temps have warmed up from the sun throughout the day.
Right now is a great time to be fishing for pike and walleye on Devils Lake. If you are fishing from shore, pick a shallow area next to the rip-rap shorelines or find one of our coulees that are running...read more...

Water Levels Rising; Fishing Outlook Promising
Mother Nature and Devils Lake have a bumpy marriage. More than a century ago, paddle wheelers were operating on these North Dakota waters.
