  • Late May Duluth Fishing Report: Salmon, Trout Abound in Calm, Cool North Shore Waters

    Late May Duluth Fishing Report: Salmon, Trout Abound in Calm, Cool North Shore Waters
    May 23 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Superior Duluth fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025.

    We’re rolling into late May with some of the best action we’ve seen in a while. Water temps along the North Shore are still chilly, most spots sitting in the low 40s, but spring’s warmth is slowly creeping in and the big lake is waking up. That means salmon and trout are cruising the nearshore waters, hungry and close to the surface[3][4].

    Sunrise today is at 5:24 AM and sunset won’t hit until 8:47 PM, giving you a long stretch to get after it. The weather looks favorable—light northeast winds keeping things calm, especially in the mornings. No major rain in the forecast, just cool mornings warming up by afternoon[4].

    Fishing pressure’s been steady, and recent days have seen plenty of boats out, with most reporting good to great success. Coho salmon are leading the way, with most catches in the 14 to 17 inch range and a few pushing a whopping 12 pounds. Chinook (king) salmon are showing up more consistently too, and reports of fish over 35 pounds this past week have got everyone buzzing[4][5]. You’ll also pick up brown trout, splake, and the occasional lake trout or steelhead, especially when working close to shore or around stream mouths[3][4].

    Best bets right now are trolling with stickbaits, dodgers and flies, or slim crankbaits. Focus on the top 20 feet of water when targeting coho and kings—especially in 50 to 70 feet of water right off the main points and harbor entrances[3][4]. Orange, chartreuse, and silver are all solid colors, with action best in low light or when the wind riffles the surface. Natural smelt imitations are working well with the tail end of the smelt run. For bait, fresh cut smelt still can get you a few bonus hits, but most are running artificials right now[3][4].

    For shore anglers, try the mouths of Lester River and the Knife River—both have put out decent coho and even a few late steelhead in the past week. Boat anglers should hit the waters off McQuade Harbor and around Park Point. The stretch between Brighton Beach and Stoney Point has produced steady action for both salmon and browns[4].

    With calm weather, cold clear water, and fish on the bite, this is the weekend to get after it. Don’t forget your net—those big kings are the real deal this year.

    Tight lines out there,

  • Duluth Fishing Report: Coho, Browns, and Chinooks Hitting Hard on Lake Superior

    Duluth Fishing Report: Coho, Browns, and Chinooks Hitting Hard on Lake Superior
    May 21 2025
    Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Superior Duluth fishing report for Wednesday, May 21, 2025.

    Fishing conditions have been solid in and around Duluth these past few days. The nearshore water temps are holding steady in the upper 30s to low 40s, but with warmer weather in the forecast, those temps should start creeping up soon. Early mornings have been crisp but comfortable, with sunrise right around 5:25 AM and sunset at 8:45 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to chase the bite.

    Recent catches have been impressive, particularly for those targeting salmon and trout. Anglers trolling near Houghton Point and Long Island are landing limits of coho salmon in the 14 to 17 inch range. In Duluth’s immediate area, a mixed bag is the story, with coho, brown trout between 16 and 24 inches, splake, and the occasional lake trout or steelhead coming into the nets. Some nice Chinooks have also shown up, with reports of fish tipping the 12-pound mark, thanks to a healthy smelt population feeding both salmon and lake trout these past couple of years[2][4][5].

    For gear, most folks are running stickbaits and smaller spoons near the surface while trolling in 10 to 40 feet of water along the shoreline. Crankbaits and flutter spoons in silver, blue, and chartreuse are working especially well. Dodgers with flies are also producing a solid coho bite. If you’re fishing from shore or the piers, try drifting spawn sacks or casting with bright spoons during the low-light hours. Live bait options like minnows and nightcrawlers are good choices for anyone looking to anchor and soak a line[2][5].

    A couple of hot spots to consider today—head out toward Park Point and the Lester River mouth for a good mix of salmon and trout, or try trolling between Brighton Beach and McQuade Small Craft Harbor in 20 to 40 feet. Houghton Point and the waters around Knife River continue to be reliable for boaters after coho and browns[2][4].

    No tides to worry about on Lake Superior, but be prepared for shifting winds and keep an eye on the forecast as afternoon breezes have been picking up. Stream trout action is winding down, but there are still opportunities if you poke around the river mouths with small spinners or drifted spawn[1].

    Overall, with smelt runs winding down and both salmon and trout feeding actively, now’s the time to get on the water. Good luck out there—tight lines!

  • Duluth Fishing Report: Coho Bonanza & Smelt Runs on Lake Superior's North Shore

    Duluth Fishing Report: Coho Bonanza & Smelt Runs on Lake Superior's North Shore
    May 19 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Superior Duluth fishing report for May 19, 2025.

    The big lake is offering up some prime fishing conditions as we move deeper into spring. Water temperatures are slowly climbing but still sitting in the low 40s in most nearshore areas, which means the salmon and trout are staying close and hungry.

    Sunrise today is at 5:24 AM and sunset will be at 8:47 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. The weather's looking favorable with light winds from the northeast, making for calm conditions especially during the morning hours.

    Fishing pressure has been steady these past few days, with most boats reporting good success. Coho salmon continue to dominate the catch reports, with fish in the 14-17 inch range being common, though we've seen some beauties pushing 12 pounds recently. If you're targeting coho, try trolling with stickbaits or dodgers and flies near the surface in 50-70 feet of water.

    The Chinook bite has been picking up too, with some monsters over 35 pounds being landed last week. These kings aren't as numerous as the cohos, but when you hook into one, you'll know it!

    Brown trout in the 16-24 inch range and splake around 15-20 inches are providing steady action for nearshore trollers. Most successful anglers are working the 10-40 foot depths with a variety of crankbaits and spoons. For those specifically targeting lakers, numbers are at record highs according to DNR surveys, and they're feeding aggressively on the abundant smelt and cisco.

    Speaking of smelt, the runs are still happening in some of the creeks, especially around Park Point. If you're looking for some evening action, grab your dip nets and head out after sunset. Remember, dip netting for smelt is only legal through May 25, so get out while you can.

    Hot spots this week include Houghton Point and Long Island for coho salmon, with many anglers limiting out. The shoreline along the mainland and around the Apostle Islands is producing a nice mix of browns, splake, and the occasional steelhead.

    For bait, smelt imitations are working well given what the predators are feeding on naturally right now. Silver and blue spoons have been particularly effective in the early mornings, while orange and gold patterns seem to produce better as the day progresses.

    That's the report for today, folks. Get out there while these spring conditions hold. This is Artificial Lure signing off from the North Shore. Tight lines and good fishing!
