At the East side boat launch.

How's the water right now? Is the algae / weeds bad yet?

Lac st Anne is UPSTREAM and the river is DOWNSTEAM. Devils does hold a few rare big ones. Get a few keystones in some people and well...

Despite a lot of boats on the lake, caught a couple walleye including one of the biggest ones I've ever caught around here at about 20" long

Was out this morning from 6am until 1pm. We caught 20 pike from all over the lake but the two biggest ones we got were caught about 50-75 meters south east f the bridge. The biggest was 67cm and I was going to keep it but as I picked it up out of the water my leader broke and the fish got away with my curved 5 of diamonds still in its face. The fishing from shore is usually slow by the boat launch but you can fish from shore right at the bridge and there is always lots of action.

yes, you can fish by the boat lunch and by the bridge.

Is there shore fishing here going tommorow

Sure do it's further downstream at Lac Ste Anne, or even bigger upstream at the NSR. Big fish don't live in devils. LMFAO

Was out on the water fishing Tuesday evening for a few hours. We caught about 14 pike all small though but a fish is a fish. Anyone know what part of the lake the big fish hang out in.

I went out 2 weeks ago just to fire up the boat. Lake left a brown film on the boat. Had to pressure wash it off. Enter at your own risk

Anyone been out there lately, thinking of going tomorrow

Any action out there?

Plenty of people out today. Tons of ice. Guys driving everywhere but I have heard of springs here so I walked on. Fishing for a few hours from 11am to 1pm. No bites on either jigs with maggots and also no bites on tip ups with minnows.

Lots of ice. Safe for vehicles

Any recent ice updates? Heading there this weekend

Where is a good place to catch perch here? Have some relatives in town this weekend that have never caught a perch and would like to try. I’ve never been to this lake. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was there on saturday with the kids for only 2 hours, a couple of bites and one small pike..

Yes there are perch in this lake an yes they are large. But be prepared to put in many Hrs/days into finding them. Then finding what they are biting on and then keeping they pike away. I have personally caught nice perch there including One day with 6 in the 15" range. A nice perch but still not 2.5lbs unless it been eating lead. More like approaching the 2 lb mark. For my money I would try south buck in deep water 25ft plus. Use a small five of diamonds tipped with maggots or small yellow jig. Had much more success there.

I've been told there are only pike in this lake yet some comments below are mentioning perch. I've also been told there are two devils lakes. Is the one east of Onoway the one with perch?

The kids and I went fishing on Saturday for 4/5 hours. We caught 7 fish and lots of bites. We caught one 27.5 incher. Fun time for the kids!!!

Finally hitting the perch on a regular basis picky buggers but so far nothing under 2 lbs thus lake has the jumbo Yippy

Only small jacks in that lake, Use minnows

I plan to go tomorrow with the little ones :-) any recommendations what to use? This is my 2nd year ice fishing... and I have had zero luck so far...

Great weekend at Devils Lake. My son and I caught 22 fish in two days. Four keeps and one 10 pounders. Lots of bitess!!!

Finally nailed a jumbo perch 2.5 lbs 15 inches . I was jigging for hammer heads lol

Was here last week, no keepers but released 30 or so fish all 60 cm. Fun day.

It's purple not the drugs

I was out 01/04/2018 ice over 20" few people out don't think anyone found a keeper, my concern is I fished 20 holes all over lake and every hole ice had a purple color in displaced ice and in hole. I am told it is from high Phosfate and Nitrate any one else experience this or am I on drugs.

On the lake all day. Couple bites nothing landed. Ice was 16"

Lots of people driving on ice. Small pike nothing else.

How thick is the ice. Can you drive on yet?

10 inches of ice. Some real nice pike today. Caught 6 and 3 of them were in the 50 to 55 cm range. Fished in 18 ft of water. Don't bother bringing your fish cam, water is too murky to see anything.

On the ice from 9 to 12. Lots of bites, got 6 pikes most are small, biggest one around 50cm great day. 11 feet depth

Hi jawkacker. That wasnt a net. They were testing a new design of a jig that is used for setting nets. But they didn't set any nets.

Caught 22 pike from 9-1. Then a couple guys showed up and set up a net. We did not catch anything from 1- 4. This lake is so small I can't believe they are allowed to net on this lake. I can't believe netting is allowed in Alberta period. Don't bother going to this lake as I can't imagine anything being left after the nets take everything and every size. No way to track what is being kept when nets are involved. Brutal.

Fished here Saturday Nov 18. 8 inches of ice. Caught 8 pike. From 1 to 3 lb.

Tks Bilbybud appreciate the feedback.

Ice is currently six inches on south side of lake. I still didn't drive my quad on it yet but definitely ok to walk out

Devils lakes is ready. Caught 11 pike on Saturday with one keeper that we fried for dinner. Caught 17 today between 2 of us! No keepers but great fun. All caught on smelts.

Hi all I just moved to Edmonton and I am new to ice fishing when will it be safe to fish Wabamun lake or devils lake pls. Tight Lines

Thank you Bilby. Good luck

Drilled multiple holes and it's around 5 inches. I'll drill a couple more holes tomorrow and drop my lines in

I'll check again tonight and post.

3.5 inches 2 days ago

Would love to hear what the thickness is. With the weather we've had there should be roughly 6 inches by know.

I am thinking its worth the drive to check out I am sure you can at least walk out now

Anyone have an ice report for devils yet??

Cast out 10-30 feet past the weeds on the right and bring it in to the left. Caught 5 Pike in 45min. 8-9pm

Nice day out. Caught some pike around 2-4 lbs. 4 perch that were 11 inches. There are still some nice perch in the lake. Just find the spot and use small jigs with minnows.
