  • Summary

  • As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is quite vibrant despite the cooler fall weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    **Weather and Conditions:**
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 32°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Water temperatures are dropping, currently in the mid-40s, which is typical for this time of year.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    **Tidal Report:**
    Lake Superior does not have significant tidal changes, so you don't need to worry about tides affecting your fishing.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a good number of fish caught, particularly lake trout, coho salmon, and walleyes. The lake trout bite has remained strong, with anglers having success using flasher fly combos and stick baits. Coho salmon are being caught in the clearer waters farther out from the shore, while walleyes are more active in the stained water coming out of the St. Louis River.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For lake trout, focus on using flasher fly combos and stick baits. Coho salmon are biting well on flasher fly setups as well. For walleyes, stick baits and crankbaits, especially those in perch, gold, and silver colors, are working well. Jigs tipped with a worm, minnow, or leech are also effective for walleyes.

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the best spots right now is the area around the St. Louis River, where the stained water is attracting walleyes. Another hot spot is along the weed lines and sunken islands on the main lake, where you can find lake trout and coho salmon.

    **Additional Tips:**
    Work your lures aggressively to trigger reaction bites, especially for walleyes. For lake trout and coho salmon, focus on the deeper waters but be prepared to adjust as the fish move shallower during the day. Don’t miss the night bite, especially on clear sky nights, as this can be very productive.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Superior, and with the right gear and knowledge, you should be able to catch some impressive fish. Stay warm and good luck
