Chinook Salmon
Beaver Bay on the North Shore of Lake Superior offers a chance to target Chinook salmon in a truly unique setting. These powerful fish migrate into the area's tributaries and nearshore waters, particularly during the late summer and fall. Trolling spoons or flasher/fly combinations in deeper water near the mouth of the Beaver River is a common tactic. Shore anglers can also have success casting spoons or spinners near the river mouth during periods of high water. Remember that Lake Superior's water is cold, so dress accordingly. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature breaks, as salmon often congregate near these areas. The DNR maintains a fishing pier in Beaver Bay, providing excellent access for anglers without boats. Be aware of regulations regarding salmon snagging, which is prohibited.
