Lake Superior / Thunder Bay


Lake Superior provides some great fishing, however, if you don’t have the right size boat, you’re going to need to look at hiring a fishing charter.  There are several charters here that target salmon and trout on the bay.  In addition to salmon and trout, northern pike, smallmouth bass and walleye are here too.  It’s a popular summer destination, however, lots of people that don’t have a boat get to enjoy fishing the bay area in the winter when the ice is thick enough.
