Default Re: Musky Monday

Catching fish sometimes depends on your local knowledge. I've fished that stretch of the Musky for over 40 years and when one spot is crowded or not producing, I simply move to another without moving my car. Some of the spots require different techniques too, if you want to get a tug or two on your line. Fishing under a log, or along an edge, or under an undercut or a fast riffle or behind a rock might mean changing your weights or adjusting your drift. Knowledge of the stream means alot. Many fishermen swear there's nothing in a stretch they just fished only to find someone come right behind them with a different bait or lure and bail them. It's happened to me.

Finally, getting off the beaten track can make a big difference in your catch. A short walk of a fifty yards might open up a whole new stream to you that you never knew. Get away from the stocking points and discover more of what you're looking for.........trout.
