Lake Trout
Lake Trout fishing near Silver Bay provides access to some of the deepest and coldest waters of Lake Superior, prime habitat for these magnificent fish. The key to success lies in locating areas with structure, such as reefs, humps, and drop-offs. Trolling with downriggers is a common technique, allowing you to present your lures at the desired depth. Spoons, tubes, and crankbaits are all effective choices. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target Lake Trout, as they move into shallower waters to feed. However, they can be caught year-round with the right techniques. A local tip: pay attention to your electronics and look for baitfish schools; the Lake Trout will likely be nearby. Access to deeper water is readily available from the Silver Bay Marina. Remember that Lake Trout are slow-growing, so practice catch-and-release to help maintain the population. The Lake Trout here can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 20 pounds.
