Fishing Forum

I made a stop at Devils Cr. Res yesterday afternoon for a few hours of fishing. There were lots of campers there, but not that many people out on the water yet. There were a couple of other float tubes, about 3 boats, and some bank fishers on the point by the dam.

Pretty little reservoir even if there are a ton of campers and the noise of the freeway on the west side.

I also watched two trucks get stuck trying to drive on to the shore.

I haven't fished Devils very much, but it seemed to be fairly slow. I only saw one other person catch anything and it was a bass. The bass were hanging out in the shallows in the weeds and sticks. The largest I caught was about 12 inches. I didn't fish for them very long.

I didn't know a good place to start at, so I moved around a lot. Water temp on the surface was 67 degrees. The trout were hanging out at 15 to 20 ft deep in over 20 feet of water. I caught several in the 10 to 12 inch range and several more that were 14 to 15 inches.

I was hoping to stumble on to a kokanee, but no luck in that department.

The fish must have pelican radar. When three pelicans cruised up the side I was on, the fishing shut down completely. Hope they aren't nesting there, or anywhere in the area.

I also saw two deer in the willows on the bank, a couple of hawks, a gaggle of geese, and more ducks. On the way home more deer were out and also this nice moose.

The east side is where I fished the most. There weren't bank fishermen or other boats over there.

Although I did cruise across in front of the dam and up the west side to check the depths and conditions. The west side is where the pelicans were fishing and I didn't do well there. I did see some fish on the finder, but nothing was biting with the pelicans around. They can really cruise....their feet paddle faster than some trolling motors!

Great pics and report. I've always wondered about Devils Creek. Maybe I'll give myself a few extra hours next time I know I'll be driving by. Thanks, Derick

Yeah, good report. I fished it for the first time a couple of years ago. I always wanted to as I drove down to Utah but never really managed to make it happen.

Fun little body of water, it was super low at the time and I fished from a floating dock. Managed to pick up a couple of bass and saw a few more chase.
