Woodland Resort Ice Fishing Guides

The Perch Patrol Guide Service is a collection of the area's preeminent and most professional fishing guides.  Their staff is by far the most experience guide staff on Devils Lake.  Some of the Perch Patrol's founding fathers were the first to guide ice fisherman and were the pioneers that started the guide industry on Devils Lake.  Combine this with the other half of our staff whom not only guide ice fisherman but summer anglers as well.  This is gives a huge advantage, nobody can possibly come close to the number of hours spent on the water year-round than they do.  That is why their GPSs look like a New York Skyline at night!  So many spots that are just waiting for your bait to hit bottom.

The Perch Patrol Guide Service is entering its eleventh year of operation and is still by far Devils Lake, North Dakota's largest, busiest, most respected, and longest running winter guide service.   The Perch Patrol is a staff of 8 guides that use a “Team-work” approach to find and stay on fish.  This is extremely important as Devils Lake now approaches 140,000 acres, it is more important than ever for the team to stay in constant communication with each other, sharing information on all species of fish that Devils Lake has to offer. 

Beyond guiding ice fisherman, this famous group of guides is very active in the ice fishing industry.  They provide product consultation and field testing for their sponsors as well as sharing of their knowledge with not only clientele but influential media that can reach out to all ice-fishermen through outdoor television to help promote and further the growth of the sport of ice-fishing.

Every guide on the Perch Patrol Staff is honored to be recognized as one of the finest ice fisherman in the industry.   Each guide prides himself on giving 100 percent effort everyday.  All guides are drug free and do not consume alcohol while guiding. They appreciate and recognize some of the great distances our customers travel to get here and that is why they take your vacation so very seriously.

From run and gun perch fishing to stalking walleyes on secret hideaways to chasing bruiser northern pike on the flats, the Perch Patrol Guide Service knows how to find and hook fish and entertain clients.  Nobody hunts and looks for fish harder than the Perch Patrol.  The number of happy customers that they have served over the years goes well into the 10 thousands.  So what are you waiting for?  Come and join the Fun!!!

Perch Patrol Guide Service begins its operation on December 10th and guides through March 30th.  You will not find a busier guide service more in demand than the Perch Patrol.  HINT:  Make your reservations early because their schedule fills fast.
