Devils Lake, ND Ice Fishing Trip 2018

[7 Point]

I booked at the Cobblestone yesterday, from the 15th - 20th, I plan on staying a couple of extra days depending on the bite and the weather. I may have room if someone wants to split it (I rented the queen suite for the extra five bucks). My wife and I stayed at the Cobblestone in an extended stay suite a couple of years ago and found it to be a nice place to stay. However if you are finding rooms for 1/2 the price, maybe I need to rethink staying arrangements... the location of the Cobblestone is handy, but I will do whatever.

I have also booked at the Cobblestone from the 15th thur the 19th. I think we should be staying at the same place as a group, if staying at different places, getting started can be a big problem in the mornings, just my 2$.

Good Idea Joe, I just booked a room at the cobblestone for Jim and myself.
Also Chase can you tell me if we have to have our ATV,S registered to ride on devils lake?
I called North Dakota dmv and they tell me if your Iowa reg. is current you are ok.

I would trust what the DMV said about the registration. You will need a permit to ride on public land and trails. (Devils Lake is considered public land)

Thanks for reminding me of this. I better make sure my dad has his stuff registered. He has been known to skip a year or two.

Another thing worth mentioning, I was looking at the ND. rules and it looks like they allow
anglers to use 4 poles while ice fishing. Da I'm bringing a couple of tip-ups.

Chase, another question. In Iowa you can't ride double on an ATV, can you in N.D.
Thanks Joe

Here are the ND OHV rules for 2017-2019. http://www.parkrec.nd.gov/recreation/at ... Manual.pdf

Places to review in the link above:
Registration and payment of fees is not required of: (NDCC 39-29-04), Look at item #3.

OUT-OF-STATE Off-Highway Vehicle Permit on Page 6. I was correct about the registration. However, there is a $10 permit that you need to buy.

Riding with Passengers (NDCC 39-29-09) on page 21.

I just booked a room at the Cobblestone also 15th-19th. Isn't there a good chance pickups can just drive on the ice without having to haul an ATV? Randy H.

Yep, at that time of year I would expect to be driving on the lake. Where ATVs with tracks or snowmobiles are nice is when there is too much snow for trucks.
