Welcome to Our Douglas County, WI Fishing Home Page

Douglas County is located at the northwest corner of Wisconsin and its county seat is Superior, Wisconsin.  Superior, Wisconsin gives anglers access to some excellent fishing on Lake Superior, which is an enormous body of water.  There are plenty of smaller lakes in the county as well in case you’re looking for a smaller body of water to do some fishing.  Anglers target salmon, trout, walleye, pike, bass, muskie and more throughout Douglas County, Wisconsin.


Primary Species of Fish


Walleye, Salmon, Trout, Largemouth Bass

Lake Superior gets most of the attention for quality fish being caught in this county.  On the big lake, walleye, salmon and trout are popular for anglers that have big enough boats to get out on the water.  The St. Louis River is super popular as a walleye destination that has a lot of big fish in it, especially in the spring and fall.  Throughout the county, there are some nice smaller lakes that offer good fishing for largemouth bass as well.


Secondary Species of Fish


Muskie, Northern Pike, Crappie, Perch, Bluegill

Northern pike are very common in this area, however, many of the lakes are home to lots of smaller pike.  If you’re looking for action though, you can definitely get some action with an occasional bigger fish by targeting pike.  Panfish are found throughout the lakes in the county.  This area isn’t a great muskie destination, but there are some lakes available with muskie in them.
