Fishing Lake Superior

Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. And with all that water – comes good fishing.

The Apostle Islands and Western Arm regions of Lake Superior in Wisconsin waters are home to some of the most productive fisheries in the entire lake. In Lake Superior, lake trout roam as the top predators and they are the most popular species sought after by anglers. If that’s not enough, nearshore areas such as Chequamegon Bay are an angler’s paradise with a diverse assemblage of cold-water and cool-water species, and numerous tributaries such as the famed Bois Brule River provide memorable runs of trout and salmon.

Here you’ll find resources that will help with your fishing trip to Lake Superior and resources to help you learn about the fisheries management practices to help protect and enhance Lake Superior fishing.
