Smallmouth Bass
While Superior, Wisconsin, is better known for its proximity to Lake Superior, don't overlook the opportunities for smallmouth bass in the surrounding rivers and flowages. The St. Louis River, as it flows towards Lake Superior, holds a healthy population of smallmouth, particularly in the rocky stretches below the Fond du Lac dam. Target areas with current breaks, submerged rocks, and deeper pools. Summer and early fall are generally the best times to fish for smallmouth here. A great access point is the public boat landing near the Highway 23 bridge, providing access to both up- and downstream fishing. Be prepared for some challenging currents and rocky wading conditions. Also, note that the smallmouth in the St. Louis River tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures, including crankbaits, tubes, and spinnerbaits, can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment to find what the fish are hitting on any given day.
