I have iced fished it many times,10 hr ride for me! I have stayed at the casino there and other motels in town.have always had a good time and experience! Used the perch patrol one time and they were well worth the money spent and were very knowledable and proffesional! Amtrak used to have a perch patrol pak from wisconsin to devils lake!The perch are excellent eating as the main forage is freshwater shrimp, casino was a dry one,only downfall I had lol.
