I was there a few weeks ago...got one walleye and a bunch of small pike. Didn't see any perch but I wasn't targeting them.

Same thing. Was out there a couple years ago and all we could catch were small pike. Tried many different locations on the lake as it is not huge. Just couldn't get into anything else.. Good luck

For me the fishing has slowed down. Last week only caught small pike but early this year we were catching 3-4lb eyes and nice jacks just bottom bouncing with spinners. nice thing with spinners is the perch like em too. only caught two perch at devils this year summer. Put your time in and you will find a few in the winter for sure. but never more then a few.

I have only been once last year. Didn't try for perch, did catch a few smaller pike though.

Wasn't a huge fan of the "lake" since it is pretty much just a large slough.

Devil's is one of the least scenic lakes around Edmonton imo.
