Lake Superior Trout & Salmon Report: Coho, Steelhead Bites Near Duluth
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Alright, Duluth anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Superior fishing report straight from the big lake they call Gitche Gumee.
We’re looking at a cold, clear morning with temps hovering just above freezing and light winds out of the north. That’s good news for ice formation, but keep an eye on the ice thickness – it’s still early and conditions can change fast. Sunrise is around 7:30 AM and sunset is about 4:30 PM, so make the most of that daylight window.
Lake Superior’s been giving up some nice trout and salmon lately. Anglers are reporting solid action on coho and steelhead in the nearshore areas, especially around the piers and river mouths where there’s some current. The bite’s been strongest in the early morning and late afternoon, right around those sunrise and sunset windows.
For lures, stick with tried-and-true spoons and spinners. Silver and blue flashers with a small dodger or teaser ahead of them are working well for coho. For steelhead, try a small silver or gold spoon tipped with a bit of sucker meat or shrimp. If you’re jigging, vertical spoons in bright colors like chartreuse or orange are triggering bites when the fish are sitting deep.
Bait-wise, fresh or frozen shrimp, sucker meat and minnows are the go-to choices. Tip your spoons or use them under a float near the bottom where the trout are holding.
Two hot spots to check out: the Duluth Ship Canal and the mouth of the St. Louis River. Both are holding fish right now and are easily accessible. Just remember to check the ice before you head out and let someone know where you’re going.
Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
