# Lake Superior Duluth Fishing Report - November 20, 2025
Folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Superior Duluth fishing report for Thursday, November 20th.
We're heading into some challenging weather tonight, so listen up. Freezing drizzle and thick fog are developing this evening along the higher terrain of the North Shore. Current conditions show us sitting at 36 degrees with cloudy skies. Sunrise was around 7:45 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 4:45 PM, so you've got a short window to get out there.
Now, here's what's been happening on the water. According to recent reports from our region, Lake of the Woods just north of us has seen excellent action in 15 to 25 feet of water with water temps dropping to 42 degrees—fish are active and responsive. While Superior is a different beast than Woods, those cold temps tell us our Lakers should be aggressive right now.
The brown trout fishing in New York waters has been incredible with anglers reporting double-digit catches. We're in that same season, so expect similar action here. Lake trout are showing up strong near breakwalls and structure—they're loving this temperature.
For tackle, you'll want medium-heavy power rods with braided line paired with fluorocarbon leaders when targeting our coldwater species. Focus your efforts around the breakwalls and rocky structure near Silver Bay Marina area, about 55 miles northeast of Duluth. Also check out the deeper structure off Superior's North Shore where those Lakers congregate.
Live minnows are your best bet right now, but don't sleep on jigging with 1/2-ounce presentations. White and chartreuse work best in these conditions.
