Muskie
Muskie fishing near Two Harbors presents a challenging but rewarding experience. While Lake Superior itself holds some muskie, the smaller inland lakes and rivers are your best bet. The key is understanding seasonal forage patterns. Spring finds muskies near spawning areas, often in shallow, weedy bays. Summer pushes them deeper, relating to structure and cooler water. Fall is prime time, as muskies aggressively feed before winter. Large bucktails, jerkbaits, and crankbaits are standard fare. Don't be afraid to throw something different to stand out. A local tip: many anglers have success trolling large lures along weed lines in the early morning or late evening. Be prepared for long days and potentially no action, but the reward of landing a trophy muskie is well worth the effort. Remember to practice proper catch and release techniques to help preserve this incredible fishery.
