  • Autumn Fishing Frenzy on Lake Superior Near Duluth

    Autumn Fishing Frenzy on Lake Superior Near Duluth
    Oct 20 2024
    As of October 20, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is buzzing with activity, despite the cooler autumn weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be cool, with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s Fahrenheit. Winds are moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tidal changes are minimal on Lake Superior, but note that the water levels are currently stable, which can affect fish behavior.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:04 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw good catches of various species. Walleyes and coho salmon are still active, particularly in areas with stained water coming out of the St. Louis River. Lake trout are also biting well, especially in the clearer waters farther north. King salmon, though their run is winding down, were also reported in the mix.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers caught a decent number of walleyes, coho salmon, and lake trout. The walleye bite has been strong on the St. Louis River and on Lake Superior itself, with anglers using crankbaits and crawler harnesses, as well as vertical jigging with crawlers or minnows. For lake trout, flasher fly combos and spoons fished near the bottom in deeper waters have been effective. Coho salmon and brown trout were caught using yarn flies, spawn sacs, flies, and beads, particularly in the edge of deeper holes or in faster runs.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleyes, stick baits in colors like wonderbread, purple, and chartreuse mixed with white have been successful. Jigs paired with minnows, leeches, or nightcrawlers are also effective. For lake trout, use flasher fly combos and spoons. For coho salmon and brown trout, focus on yarn flies, spawn sacs, flies, and beads.

    ### Hot Spots
    The area in front of Duluth and near the Apostle Islands have been hot spots, with lake trout active in the deeper waters. For coho salmon and brown trout, focus on areas near river mouths and along island shorelines. The St. Louis River, particularly its edges and channels, is a great spot for walleyes and panfish.

    With the cooler weather setting in, the fish are becoming more active, making this a great time to hit the waters of Lake Superior near Duluth. Dress warm and enjoy the fall fishing frenzy

  • Fishing the Frigid Shores of Lake Superior: Battling Low Waters and Thriving Fish

    Fishing the Frigid Shores of Lake Superior: Battling Low Waters and Thriving Fish
    Oct 18 2024
    As of October 18, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is quite active, despite the challenging weather and water conditions.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The water levels are extremely low, but the fish are still cooperating. The recent colder weather has dropped the water temperatures, which is typical for this time of year. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 50°F and a low of 40°F. Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:04 PM. Tides are not a significant factor on Lake Superior, but the low water levels mean you'll need to be cautious when navigating.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly with salmon and trout running the rivers. The salmon run is winding down, but there are still good numbers of coho and king salmon to be caught. Brown trout and steelhead are also becoming more active as the water cools.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching coho salmon ranging from 20 to 26 inches, along with some brown trout and splake in the 15 to 20-inch range. Walleye fishing has been good in and near the harbor, with some limits of 15 to 20-inch fish being reported. Northern pike up to 32 inches are also being caught over weeds.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For salmon and trout, crankbaits, spoons, twitch jigs, beads, flies, and eggs are all effective. Bright colors such as pink, orange, UV green, and chrome are working well. For walleye, trolling with stickbaits and crawler harnesses along weed lines, as well as vertical jigging with crawlers or minnows, has been successful. For northern pike, large suckers, large minnow bait, and large soft plastic minnow baits are deadly.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is the area in front of river mouths and along island shorelines, particularly around the Apostle Islands. Here, you can catch coho salmon, brown trout, and splake. Another good spot is Chequamegon Bay, where walleye and northern pike are being caught near rock piles and weed lines. For those targeting brown trout and steelhead, the tributaries along the North Shore, such as the French River, are worth a visit.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Superior, with a variety of species active and willing to bite. Just be mindful of the low water levels and adjust your tactics accordingly.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Superior: Steelhead, Browns, and the Winding Down Salmon Run

    Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake Superior: Steelhead, Browns, and the Winding Down Salmon Run
    Oct 17 2024
    As of October 17, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is buzzing with activity, especially with the fall season in full swing.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is cooling down, with water temperatures dropping significantly over the past week. This colder weather has been beneficial for fish activity. Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 50°F and a low of 40°F. The winds are moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10 mph. Tidal changes are minimal on Lake Superior, but the low water levels are something to note, as they can affect fish behavior.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset is at 6:04 PM, giving anglers a good window to hit the waters.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly in the tributaries. Salmon, especially king salmon, have been running big this year, but their run is starting to wind down. Now, steelhead and brown trout are becoming more prominent in the rivers. Despite the low water levels, there are good numbers of fish in the rivers.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching a mix of salmon, steelhead, and brown trout. The salmon run, while slowing down, still yielded some impressive catches, with king salmon being the most notable. Steelhead and brown trout are now the main targets, with many being caught on the edge of deeper holes and in faster runs.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For steelhead and brown trout, beads, spawn sacs, flies, and nightcrawlers are working well. These can be fished under floats or on bottom bouncing rigs. Larger nymphs and stonefly patterns are effective for fly anglers, while streamers can also be very productive. For salmon, crankbaits, spoons, twitch jigs, beads, flies, and eggs have been successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the French River and the Knife River. These areas have adult and juvenile fish traps that monitor the abundance and health of migratory fish, including steelhead. The French River, in particular, is known for its steelhead runs and is a good spot to catch these fish as they migrate upstream.

    In summary, the fall fishing on Lake Superior near Duluth is shaping up to be excellent, with steelhead and brown trout becoming the main focus as the salmon run slows down. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots, anglers can expect a productive day on the water.
