          Devils Lake State Park

    Gary Engberg, one of Southern Wisconsin's    premiere outdoor enthusiast discusses weekly topics on our website.  This week's topic is
"Devils Lake is Much More Than Trout ?"
 Read Gary's column  River Currents for
more details.

     When Wisconsin anglers think of Sauk County’s Devils Lake, they usually think of fishing for the brown trout that the Wisconsin DNR stocks every year in April. For the past decade, the state has been stocking Devils Lake with anywhere from 16,000 to 18,000 brown trout. But, this year due to budget restraints only 8400 trout have been stocked in the lake. Many of the brown trout are of legal size (9 inches) or close to being legal. They will grow quickly in forage rich Devils Lake and will be of legal size and larger by the end of the summer.

     For those who are unfamiliar with this 369 acre gem, Devils Lake was formed when the glaciers receded from central Wisconsin leaving rock hills, cliffs, and a gin-clear lake thousands of years ago. The lake is now part of Devils Lake State Park which receives over one million visitors who camp, hike, climb, swim, bird watch, sail, canoe, and fish every year. In comparison to the other activities visitors participate in at the park, fishing is not at the top of the list. Since only electric motors are allowed on Devils Lake, much of the fishing is done from shore. Devils Lake is also popular in the winter for ice fishing.

      On a normal summer day, you’ll find some sailboats and canoes on the water. But few anglers, except the locals, know that this is a good lake for fishing and not just trout fishing. There are both largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappies, bluegills, sunfish, northern pike, walleye, and of course some assorted rough fish. Over the years, there have been other fish species stocked in the lake and even though they may not be stocked in the lake anymore, those species left are all of good size. I’ve been on the lake with the DNR when they do there spring fyke netting and seen northern pike over 20 pounds, walleyes over 10 pounds, bass over 5 pounds, and many panfish of good size.

     The panfish fishery consists of mainly bluegills, crappies, and sunfish. The key to catching panfish on Devils Lake is to find the abundant green weeds. The weeds are mainly coontail and cabbage. Try fishing for panfish near the weed edges, the open pockets, and close to any downed wood and timber.
