Exceptional Fishing Opportunities

Duluth has a wide variety of fishing opportunities. You can go out on a charter on Lake Superior and primarily fish for salmon, trout, and steelhead. Also, the St. Louis River that flows into Lake Superior has world-class fishing as well. You can find just about any freshwater fish in the river including great walleye fishing, bass fishing, crappies, northern pike, musky, catfish, perch, and even sturgeon. There's really something for everyone.
