Found a nice little weather window, and made the best of it! Got together with Garrett on a last second decision to run to Michigan. Probably the last laker day of the season for both of us. But it sure didn’t disappoint. Multiple doubles and triples and some true giants with the biggest taping in at 41”! Great day to call it a year for trout.

Consistent Action on Trout, Salmon & Walleye fishing report coverpicture

Lake Superior Agate Geological Marker - Lake, MN Fishing Report on 25th Jun, 2025

Fishing conditions on the Duluth side of Lake Superior have been steady and productive as we move into late June. Anglers launching out of the Duluth harbor and nearby access points are finding solid multi-species action across the board. Lake Trout: Lake trout are the main draw right now, with good numbers being caught offshore in 80–140 feet of water. Trolling spoons and flasher-fly combos behind downriggers or dipsy divers is the go-to method. The bite is best early in the day or when cloud cover lingers. Most fish are in the 3–8 lb range, with occasional double-digit lakers coming up from the deeper pockets. Coho & Chinook Salmon: There’s been a decent push of cohos and scattered kings in recent days. Look for them suspended in the upper 50 feet of water, especially in slightly warmer pockets near river mouths or temperature breaks. Bright-colored spoons and small dodgers are getting hits. Walleye: Anglers targeting St. Louis Bay and near-shore structure are reporting strong walleye bites. Troll crankbaits or run a live bait rig along mud transitions and drop-offs. Early morning and dusk are prime windows, especially during low-wind conditions. Bonus Species: Steelhead are still popping up now and then, mostly near the mouths of rivers and along rocky shorelines. A few brown trout have also been caught by those trolling closer to shore in the top 30 feet.

Lake Superior Agate Geological Marker - Lake, MN Fishing Report on 7th Apr, 2025

Spent the entire day on one of my favorite crappie lakes yesterday. I probably caught over 200 perch. 25 smaller ones, and then you’d get a nice one. Everywhere I drilled a hole, the locator would eventually look like this. I hooked one crappie all day. It was an absolute giant. Too many perch! I should have occasionally retied. The slab, guessing 15-16” broke off at the top of the hole and I failed at grabbing it. 😩 I’m definitely paying for my efforts today. What a sunburn on my face and hands!! Probably done with ice, but we’ll see.
