The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. Winds will be moderate, coming from the southwest at about 10 mph. Tidal changes are minimal on Lake Superior, but water levels are currently stable.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM, giving you ample daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw decent catches of various species. Anglers reported catching lake trout, coho salmon, and brown trout. Lake trout were primarily found in deeper waters, often near the bottom in 100-180 feet, where cooler temperatures prevail. Coho salmon and brown trout were caught in similar depths, ranging from 30-80 feet.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Lake trout were the most active, with many anglers reporting limits. Coho salmon were also plentiful, with sizes ranging from 20-26 inches. Brown trout and splake were caught in smaller numbers but still provided a good fight.
### Best Lures and Bait
For lake trout, spoons and flashers are highly effective, especially when fished near the bottom. For coho salmon and brown trout, smaller spoons and crankbaits have been successful. Walleye anglers have had good success using crawler harnesses and stickbaits along weed lines.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is the area west of Port Wing, where walleye and lake trout have been active in 15-40 feet of water. Another good spot is near the Apostle Islands, where lake trout are abundant in the deeper, cooler waters.
### Additional Tips
Be prepared for the cooler weather and changing winds. Fishing pressure has been moderate, so you may find some solitude on the water. Remember to carry a paper copy of your fishing license and stamps as required.
Overall, it's a great time to get out on Lake Superior near Duluth, with a variety of fish species active and the right conditions to make your day on the water enjoyable and productive.
