DULUTH 9/10

[Realtree]

Boulder Lake remains best for walleye action, with anglers taking limits of 2- and 2 1/2-pound fish on minnows. Fish Lake is giving up lots of crappies in 12-14 feet of water. On Lake Superior, fishing remains good out from Two Harbors, with anglers taking lake trout and a few salmon using spoons roughly 80 feet down. Cohos and chinooks, averaging 7- to 8-pounds, are being pulled from 140-plus foot depths, roughly 8 miles out, with fish found suspended roughly 80 feet down. For the most fish, use a green, orange, white or purple glow spoons. Some anglers are doing well running flashers and dodgers with flies tipped with smelt. Walleyes continue to be pulled from the harbor on jig and minnow combinations. In the lower bay, anglers are taking even larger fish by dragging stickbaits behind bottom bouncers. On the upper St. Louis River, fishing has also been good due to low water levels, with anglers finding lots of smallmouth bass and walleyes in the deeper holes.
