  • Summary

  • As of October 2, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is quite active, despite the transitioning seasons.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58°F and a low of 45°F. Water levels are relatively stable, but keep an eye on slight variations that can affect fish behavior. Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset is at 6:38 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw decent catches of various species. Lake trout fishing has been good, with anglers targeting the deeper and cooler waters, often near the bottom in 100-180 feet. Coho salmon and brown trout are also being caught, particularly in areas with clearer and cooler water several miles out from the shore.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Anglers reported catching lake trout in the 20-25 inch range, coho salmon in the 20-22 inch range, and a few brown trout in the 20-28 inch range. Walleye fishing has also been good, especially in and near the harbor, with some limits being reported.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For lake trout and salmon, flasher fly combos are highly effective. Stickbaits and crankbaits, especially in colors like pink, purple, and firetiger, are working well for both species. For walleye, trolling with crankbaits and crawler harnesses, as well as vertical jigging with crawlers or minnows, has been successful.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is the area west of Port Wing, where walleye are being caught in 15-40 feet of water. Another good spot is near the Ashland shoreline and out from Second Landing in Chequamegon Bay, where walleye and northern pike are active along weed lines in 15-30 feet of water.

    Overall, the fishing on Lake Superior near Duluth remains promising as we move into the fall season. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and carry all necessary licenses and stamps.
