The colour is this river's run stage today, read off Minnesota DNR
run-timing guidance. Where along the corridor the fish are is not
modelled here — only the sixteen rivers the staging estimator covers
carry that.
Drawn 30 September 2026, north up, and it is a map of the river rather
than of the lake it runs from.
Peak run · Coho salmonas of 30 September 2026
The Sucker River is running now. As of 30 September 2026 the loudest claim on it is pink salmon at tail-off — pink salmon 1 August to 30 September, coho salmon 1 September to 31 October and lake-run brook trout 1 September to 31 October. The peaks: pink salmon 1 September – 30 September, coho salmon 1 September – 31 October, lake-run brown trout 1 October – 31 October and steelhead 1 April 2027 – 31 May 2027. Steelhead opens 1 March 2027, 152 days out. Windows are calendar guidance curated from Minnesota run-timing prose and are month-grained, so the edges are the month rather than the day.

Every run window on the Big Sucker Creek, in date order
The window is Minnesota's curated run-timing guidance placed on this year's calendar. The
stage beside it is this site's reading of that window against 30 September 2026 and nothing more —
it is arithmetic on a date, not an observation of the river.
