  • Summary

  • As of October 1st, fishing on Lake Superior near Duluth is shaping up to be a great day for anglers. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Conditions
    The water levels on Lake Superior are relatively stable, but keep an eye on slight variations that can affect fish behavior. Sunrise is at around 7:10 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:45 PM.

    ### Weather
    Expect mild fall weather with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s, which is ideal for fishing. Water temperatures, although cooler than the summer peak, are still in the upper 60s to mid-70s near the surface, with cooler water found deeper down.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching decent numbers of coho salmon, ranging from 20 to 26 inches, along with some brown trout and splake. Lake trout fishing has been good, particularly in the deeper and cooler waters, often near the bottom in 100-180 feet.

    ### Catches
    Anglers have been successful with lake trout, coho salmon, and some brown trout. The lake trout are being caught using spoons and flashers near the bottom, while coho salmon and brown trout are being targeted with flasher fly combos.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For lake trout, spoons and flashers are working well, especially in deeper waters. For coho salmon and brown trout, flasher fly combos are the way to go. Stickbaits and crankbaits, particularly in colors like gold, wonderbread, pink, purple, and firetiger, are also effective for walleyes and other species.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Near the St. Louis River Mouth**: This area has stained water which is ideal for catching walleyes using stickbaits and crankbaits.
    - **Deeper Waters North of Duluth**: Focus on areas with cooler and clearer water for lake trout and coho salmon.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Superior, with a variety of fish species active and responsive to the right lures and bait. Enjoy your fishing trip
