Lake Superior

Lake Superior anglers are still finding good success trolling waters of 75-175 feet for a mix of lake trout and salmon. It has been a good year for bonus chinook along the stretches of the North Shore. On the South Shore stretching all the way to the Apostle Islands, some anglers are finding success for walleye. Some walleyes coming boatside are of the trophy caliber. Things are changing day to day, but most consistent has been a troll speed of 2 mph dragging crank baits behind planer boards. Always remember to watch the wind, as things can change in a hurry. Last week, we experienced some days with a good blow. Stream anglers continue to see the preliminary signs of returning Gitch fish. For the most part, however, resident browns and brook trout are being caught.

Spirit Lake

Walleye – Fair: Walleyes action has slowed on the lake. Fish the basin; don’t overlook the weed edges. Use crawlers and bottom bouncers or troll crankbaits. Yellow Perch – Good: Good numbers of fish are being caught. Try a yellow and white mini jig tipped with wigglers fished in the outside edges of the weed beds. Move often to find active fish.

Lake Minnewaska

Lake Minnewaska: Some walleyes are being caught during lowlight periods around the lake’s bulrush edges, according to Minnewaska Bait and Tackle in Starbuck on the lake’s west side. During early morning hours, anglers are finding largemouth bass and northern pike. The lake is producing a good sunfish bite, especially off Barsness Point and Priest Point and out from Starbuck Beach.
