Campgrounds, resorts, and outfitters cater to anglers. Hire a
local fishing guide to get you started.
Trout Stream Fishing Cast a line in the scenic
streams of southeastern Minnesota or along the North Shore
of Lake Superior.
River Fishing The Mississippi, St. Croix, Rainy and
St. Louis rivers are popular for their variety of fish. Try for a
big catfish in the Red or Minnesota rivers. Minnesota’s
multiple canoe rivers offer good fishing.
Minnesota’s many lakes and
rivers offer up great fishing throughout
the state. Catch walleye, bass, northern pike,
muskie, trout, perch, salmon, and more from
these waters. Guides, outfitters, and charters can
provide everything you need for a memorable
Minnesota fishing trip.
Charter Fishing on Lake Superior Sign on
for a fishing charter. These captains know the big lake and its
fish—lake trout and salmon. Catch some spectacular views of
rugged coastline, too.
WALLEYE:
Minnesota’s State Fish
The walleye is the most sought-after fish in Minnesota. It’s
plentiful, fun to catch, and tasty to eat. About 4. 6 million
pounds of walleye are harvested annually.
Ice Fishing Fishing here doesn’t stop when the lakes
freeze! Just drop a line through a hole in the ice. Fish out in the
open air, or rent an ice fishing house with the comforts of home.
