 Artificial Lure here with your Lake Superior Duluth area fishing report for Saturday, June 21, 2025.

Sunrise today was at 5:17 am, and sunset’s coming up late at 9:03 pm, giving us a long window for line-wetting adventures. No tides on Lake Superior, but the big lake always keeps things interesting with its shifting wind and waves. Temps are sitting comfortably in the low 60s, under partly cloudy skies. This afternoon, a breeze out of the northeast is picking up, so be ready for some chop if you’re venturing into deeper waters.

Lake surface temperatures are still cool—hovering between 51 and 55°F near Duluth, which is prime for early summer bites. Out on the lake, the action has been rock solid for coho salmon and lake trout. Most cohos are coming in at 15-19 inches, and lake trout are running 16-21 inches. Anglers have been having the best luck trolling 10-40 feet down with orange, pink, or purple spoons, as well as flasher fly rigs. Green and purple stickbaits are also producing, especially for those targeting the edges of ledges and drop-offs. The occasional steelhead and a few smaller chinook salmon have also been reported at stream mouths and where rivers meet the lake, with French River seeing some solid steelhead runs this season according to local DNR trap surveys.

Shore anglers working Canal Park and the St. Louis River mouth have brought in mixed bags of coho, trout, and the occasional walleye. Jigging with minnows or trolling shallow crankbaits has been the go-to in the St. Louis River, with most walleyes pushing downstream toward Duluth as summer sets in.

If you’re looking for hot spots today, you can’t go wrong launching at Brighton Beach and working the nearshore contour out to 40 feet, especially east toward Two Harbors for trout. Canal Park is seeing consistent action for shore casters tossing spoons. And don’t overlook the St. Louis River Estuary—especially with the wind up, it’s a safer, more sheltered bet, and the bite is still strong using jigs or trolling stickbaits along the channel edges.

For bait and lures, stick with the proven:
- Orange or chartreuse spoons for coho and lake trout
- Flasher fly rigs
- Green and purple stickbaits for walleye and mixed trout
- Jig and minnow for river and estuary fishing

Reports this week from the Minnesota DNR and creel surveys confirm good numbers and solid sizes of fish in the Duluth area, with anglers satisfied with both the action and variety. Muskie season opens today for the die-hards—if you’re targeting them, Grand Lake and Fish Lake to the north are solid bets, with big rubber baits and bucktails the ticket.
