The last time I had fished for these scrappers was on the St. Croix River a few years ago. It's an easy trip. From Nashwauk Minnesota, Where I live, all one has to do is hook up with Highway 2 in Grand Rapids and stay on it all the way to Devils lake. It's 200 miles to Grand Forks and then another 90 to Devils Lake. Owned and operated by Rick Darling and Jeff Trans.
North Country offers the best fishing and goose hunting available in the area.
Rick and Jeff run guided fishing trips until goose season begins, when Rick leaves the lake and takes to the fields in search of geese. Jeff, meanwhile, continues to fish until freeze up. When the hunting is over, Rick joins Jeff on the big lake for ice fishing. Rick and Jeff are some pretty good guys and they're good at what they do. With a population of almost 8,000, this small city has a lot to offer the traveler.
