Fishing
At Devils Lake Wetland Management District
Fishing is allowed on waterfowl production areas in accordance with state and federal regulations. Visitors should be familiar with regulations provided in the North Dakota WPA - Public Use Regulations brochure.
Available species include walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Over a decade of high-water levels has created ice fishing opportunities on some waterfowl production areas. There are no district facilities for anglers, and vehicle access is limited to designated trails.
Devils Lake itself, while not part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, offers superb fishing opportunities for walleye, northern pike, white bass, and perch.
