This time of year, just about anywhere. The only limiting factor is
your boat and your experience. Be safe.

Right now, the salmon are staging near the river mouths getting ready
to spawn as the water temp drops. Lakers and browns may be in the mix.
Walleye should be active, with pike and nice perch always ready to
bite.

The rivers will be chaotic when the salmon run, and shoulder-to
shoulder fishermen. I would find a protected bay and anchor or drift,
bouncing jig & minnow in 15-30 feet of water. Leeches do well, or
crawlers. It will be a mixed bag with the chance of a few real trophys.
If you want to troll, use about any lure in the box.

Your best local resource will be the bait shops, and the boats
returning to the launch point. You won't have a problem finding fish.

Good luck.
