Il lago del diablo


Shockingly, there are multiple locations in the United States with the name "Devil's Lake." A very heated war broke out here regarding which one should be featured, whether a disambig page was needed, even over the usage of the apostrophe- eventually literally degenerating into "my lake is better than yours!"

If you see trash carp, kill 'em. They taste awful too. The walleye, northern pike, and freshwater salmon (to name a few) are wonderful. The real cold, freshwater environment makes 'em so tasty.

What the heck brought you to Devil's Lake, N.D., AI?

Just poking around wikipedia, where apparently it created a bit of a stir. You ever been to Devil's Lake?

Yup, I don't do much fishin' (maybe once every three years), but I've been to Devil's Lake and the reservation mentioned in wikipedia a couple times. It starts gettin' real flat in that eastern part of the state. If ever presented with a choice, opt for Lake Sakakawea, the Missouri River, and the Little Missouri that winds through the badlands of western North Dakota.
