Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Muskie in lake superior

anyone know if there are muski in lake superior? mostly the Chequamegon bay area, only been fishing here bout a year so far.

I dont think the DNR manages lake Superior for muskie, but I do think the tributaries may have some from what I've heard before. Of the great lakes - lake Michigan ie: Green bay, is the only one I know of that the DNR manages for muskies.

They have a list of inland lakes listed here

Or, better yet, look for the rivers in bayfield/ashland counties that dump into Superior here... http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/fhp/fish/musky/muskywaters_riverslist.html

Welcome to da fire

Once in a great while you hear a story about one, but I don't think there are enough to fish for, if any left at all. Once in a while one may come from another area, such as St Louis Bay, but no real resident population. I have fished the bay for years, so PM me if you would like and ask if you have any other questions and welcome to the campfire....

That was really helpful information, thanks alot.
