What You Should Bring With You and Not Bring

Fishing on Lake Superior is ever changing and can bring many different seasons throughout the fishing season. For locals; there are two different seasons at any given point... which we refer to as up on the hill and down the hill.  It may be sunny and 80 on July 30th up on the hill, but down the hill 65 and gusting 20 mph. We always recommend to be prepared for any weather event to make your fishing trip an enjoyable one. We have provided the list below to assist your preparation to ensure you have a memorable and enjoyable outing in the safest allowable conditions.
