AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Knife River on Minnesota's North Shore is a premier steelhead and coho salmon stream, drawing fly fishers from across the region during spring and fall runs. The river's rocky cascades and deep pools provide classic Great Lakes tributary fishing for migratory rainbow trout (steelhead) running from Lake Superior. Fall coho salmon runs add an additional exciting fishery from late September through October.
