Veteran Guide Talks Turkey about Devils Lake Perch
While many know Korey Sprengel as an acclaimed tournament walleye angler, he’s also a knowledgeable Devils Lake ice fishing guide who puts clients on messes of big perch – day-in and day-out.
While Kemos still likes to put a deer in the freezer, in recent years he’s spent a lot more of October, November, and even December on the water.
“When the water temp hits about 50 degrees a lot changes. First, lakes have gone through turnover, and this allows walleyes to roam anywhere in the entire water column, from 5 feet to 50 feet of water.”
While he says finding fall fish can sometimes be challenging, he spends a lot of time shallow and generally has positive results.
