FISHING IN MARQUETTE, MI

Experience the angler's paradise of Marquette County, Michigan, where pristine waters and diverse species await to challenge and reward fishing enthusiasts. From the open waters of Lake Superior to the secluded corners of inland lakes, or meandering rivers and streams, choose your unique angling adventure.

Explore the rich waters of Lake Superior, home to prized catches like Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, and Whitefish. Venture into the tranquil inland lakes for encounters with species such as Blue Gill, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, and Walleye. Cast your line in the flowing rivers and streams to hook impressive catches like Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and Rainbow Trout.

If you're looking to catch walleye and northern pike, Deer Lake is a great option with high catch rates. This lake consists of two elongated basins that provide more than 900 acres of quality catch-and-release fishing. Boat and shore fishing is allowed, except along the county road shoulder. If you plan to go kayak fishing, then Teal Lake in Negaunee is an ideal destination.
