Measuring Your Fish
For some species of fish, and certain bodies of water, size restrictions apply. Unless otherwise stated, size limits refer to the TOTAL Length, measured from the tip of the mouth with the jaws closed to the tip of the tail, with the tail fin lobes compressed to get the maximum possible length. In some bodies of water, the regulations may state that measurement of the FORK Length must be used when measuring your fish. The fork length is measuring from the tip of the mouth with the jaws closed to the central part of the tail fin. If you catch a fish that is of a restricted size, you must release it immediately.
Where to fish
We can't tell you all of our secrets. But we can tell you that there are countless inland lakes and rivers within the boundaries of Lake Superior Park to enjoy sport fishing during the summer and winter seasons. Some of these lakes are more difficult to get to than others. Pick up a park map, your fishing regulations, and license and check out the awesome places you might catch the big one. Crescent Lake is a great place to go on a family fishing day. This campground is closest to the south end of the park and has a boat launch for your kayak or canoe, the lake is stocked, and you can get to 3 other lakes through short portages.
