Lake Superior Outdoor Fishing Report – April 30, 2024
Fishing Wisconsin
Due to the recent strong winds and stormy weather, fishing activity on Lake Superior has been limited. Surface water temperatures (reported in degrees Fahrenheit) continue to be in the upper 30s to low 40s, with warmer water in the shallows of Chequamegon Bay. Once the winds subside and the weather stabilizes, anglers should be able to troll nearshore for trout and salmon.
Smelt activity along the Ashland shoreline is over for the season.
Before the strong winds and stormy weather, anglers fishing along the Ashland shoreline and Kakagon Sloughs were starting to target and catch walleye, smallmouth bass and northern pike.
REMINDER - Anglers must carry a paper copy of their license/stamps while fishing on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and the Wisconsin/Michigan, Wisconsin/Minnesota and Wisconsin/Iowa boundary waters.
