Devil's Lake
Anybody been out to Devil's Lake by Onoway. Planning on heading out there this weekend and just wondering what the ice has been like.
Thanks. |
What's in Devil's?
It was brought up as a suggestion for the Edmonton area gathering but I have no idea what's in there! :) |
Perch. Some big ones if you can find them. Pike. Nothing too big but heard stories up to 8-10 pounds.
|
Decent catch rate out there? :)
|
Whitefish too.
|
Can be good. Most times I've been out there it's decent. But just like any other lake it has it's slow times. Can probably catch 50-60 in a day. Maybe 10 keepers in that pile.

And will you be coming out (Dec 28)? :wave: |
Might come out. Sounds like a good time. I would check the fishing calender though. Check what the moon phase is. Thought that used to be a joke, but the past couple years, I have become a believer and always check the fishing calender before I head out. I'm sure guys would catch something, whether it's a bunch of perch or some hammer handles. It's not that often you get skunked out there.

I recall moon phase coming up in conversation between BBJ and I, but I never did look into it...going to have to make a point of doing my homework on that soon :)
And pardon my ignorance, but where is Devil's Lake? Having a hard time finding it on a map :confused: |
West of Edmonton on Hiway 37. Just northeast of Onoway. From where I live it takes about 40 minutes from my house. It's right off the hiway, easy to get to.

Still can't find it on Google Maps though :confused: |

Where you see Onoway, it's just to the right.

Remember one thing about Devil's..it is full of springs..I have fished it for over 30 years, even though i don't go much anymore because of the walleye-perch predation, but the springs are everywhere and they change position each winter.
It is probably one of the most dangerous lakes in the area to fish. |
Devil's
I like Devil's as there is a lot of little jacks. It gives you lots of exersize running to all of the tipups! It is a good time. the northwest corner is good, but as they say there are springs so it is best to walk. I will not drive the dodge there, but that is ok because you can have a few drinks.
