Ice Fishing

Devils Lake is the number one destination for North American ice anglers. More than 15,000 fishermen head onto the ice with guides each winter. Thousands more travel to north-central North Dakota for their DIY fishing adventures.

Most visitors book fishing and lodging via resorts, motels or guide services where everything is provided including tackle, shelters, fish-finding electronics, fishing tips, bait and on-ice transportation but we have plenty to offer for the do-it-yourselfer as well.

Limits are generous with 20 perch daily; 40 in possession. Pike and walleye limits are five daily and 10 in possession. Seasons never close in North Dakota. The area hotels, resorts and community have the most indoor, heated fish-cleaning stations per capita than any other locale.

This winter experience what the rest of the ice fishing world already knows - ice fishing is one more reason to add Devils Lake to your Bucket List.
