Fishing in the waters of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula

The Keweenaw Peninsula has long been known for its great fishing. Surrounded by Lake Superior, and dotted with numerous inland lakes and streams, its waters are home to many species of game fish. Huge trophies thrive in the vast Portage Waterway, and Lake Trout literally surround the region. Many feeder streams have abundant smelt runs each spring when the water temperature reaches about 40 degrees.

Brook, rainbow and brown trout can be caught in isolated streams where the only sounds you hear will be splashing water, birds singing and the sound of the fish flopping in your creel.
One great advantage of Keweenaw fishing is the great number of lakes and streams. Just a short drive is all that is necessary to improve your luck when things seem slow.
