Chasing steelhead near Beaver Bay, Minnesota, offers a unique Great Lakes experience. These migratory fish, also known as rainbow trout, ascend the tributaries of Lake Superior to spawn, making the spring and fall runs prime time. Focus your efforts on the mouths of rivers and streams entering the lake, as well as the lower stretches of these waterways. Water temperature is crucial; steelhead are most active when the water is between 45 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Natural presentations like spawn sacs, nymphs, and small spoons are effective. Adjust your depth based on the current and water clarity. A local tip: The Beaver River and Split Rock River are popular access points, but can get crowded. Explore smaller, less well-known streams for a more secluded experience. Be aware of current regulations regarding catch-and-release and permitted fishing areas, as these can vary.
