Most of the rivers and streams of the North Shore of Lake Superior have short, relatively steep, fishable steelhead waters.
The rivers nearest to Duluth have the most fluctuant water flow. With no lakes in the headwaters, the water levels come to almost a trickle in low rain periods and, can flow with great fury in high snow melt or abundant rains.
The Rivers to the northeast have more of a stable flow during the fishing season. The lakes, swamps and marshes in the headwaters act as a natural source of water during times of drought. They also help regulate the increased water volume during heavy summer rains.
