About this water
Gunflint Lake sits on the Minnesota-Ontario border along the Gunflint Trail and is renowned for its lake trout and walleye fishery in a remote, scenic setting. The lake's deep, cold, clear water supports a healthy wild lake trout population that attracts serious trophy hunters. Trolling with spoons and jigging in deep structure are the most productive techniques.
