Lake trout are in some of the area lakes as well as on Thunder Bay and in Lake Superior. If you want to target lake trout, you can definitely do it in this area. If you fish the bay or out on Lake Superior, you’re going to want to have a big boat or fish with a charter.
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.
Northern Light Lake
Northern Light Lake is a good sized lake with plenty of depth and lots of room to fish. There are some accommodations on this lake and there are a variety of fish here. Anglers target walleye, smallmouth bass, lake trout, northern pike, perch and whitefish.
