Fishing on Lake Superior
You don’t need to travel to the Pacific coast for an ocean-like fishing adventure. Instead, let the North Shore’s seasoned fishing guides give you a day to remember while possibly snagging that trophy lake trout. Fortunately, many expert guides offer charter excursions on Lake Superior.
What Fish species are in Lake Superior?
As the largest freshwater lake on earth, Lake Superior contains multiple species, including Lake Superior lake trout, splake, salmon, whitefish, sturgeon, and other fish found in MN waters.

Explore Hundreds of Inland Lakes and streams.
Most inland lakes in Lake County are far north near Ely, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCAW,) and the Canadian border. Therefore, you’ll find endless opportunities to reel in multiple species, including walleye, saugers, crappies, northern pike, perch, muskies, small-mouth and large-mouth bass, bluegills, rainbow trout, brown trout, splake, and more!
Additionally, many resorts and outfitters in Lake County offer half-day, full-day, and weekend fishing excursions.
