Keweenaw Charters: Lake Superior Trout and Salmon

03/27/2026

Spring is here (almost) and we’re looking ahead to the 2026 season on Lake Superior!

With a strong snowpack this winter (344" and counting), conditions are lining up for a great early season bite starting mid to late April 🤞🎣 Summer is shaping up well too, with continued strong lake trout fishing during past seasons and good signs for a strong coho year class.

We’re excited to get back offshore to Stannard Rock Lighthouse and to be running two boats again this season.

Lodging is available at our Pilgrim River guesthouse and the newly remodeled Blue Cube in downtown Houghton--https://www.keweenawcharters.com/lodging. Fishing clients receive 10% off nightly stays.

Dates are starting to fill for 2026. Reach out if you’re thinking about a trip--we look forward to fishing with all of our great returning and new clients!

Keweenaw Charters: Lake Superior Trout and Salmon
“I spend countless hours on Lake Superior in a wide range of weather and wave conditions. Installing the Shockwave S5 suspension base on my helm seat has been one of the most impactful upgrades I’ve made to my vessel. The system has dramatically improved ride comfort during long days on the water, especially when running offshore to remote destinations like Stannard Rock. The ability to absorb hard impacts from heavy chop has reduced fatigue for both myself and my clients, making the overall fishing experience safer and more enjoyable. On a lake known for its unpredictable seas, the Shockwave suspension has become an essential part of my operation—I wouldn’t run without it.” 🗨️

Spring fishing is just around the corner, and we're looking forward to some of our favorite shallow water, light tackle action of the season! Now through early May provide excellent opportunities for fishing along the scenic shorelines of the Keweenaw Peninsula on Lake Superior. There's no time like spring to shake off the cabin fever! In anticipation, here's a fun segment from Fishing 411, in search of jerkbait brown trout:
