Lower Musky Still giving up trout
Fished many spots from Bloomsbury south. Most spots I caught cookie cutter rainbows on bait.
I was hell bent on catching some trout using hardware today. I fished hard today. I would fish spoons down a stretch. Come back the same stretch and fish spinners. Nothing. Third time using big butterworms I just received in the mail from Elliotsbutters.com. Bing, bang, boom the same stretch. Go figure. My fishing buddies and son now have named me the butterworm king. They're the only thing that has been producing for me the past three years. I don't think I caught one trout this year on a worm, salmon egg, or power bait.
I posted last summer about a very large channel catfish I caught in the Musky. It was the best fight in a stream I ever had. Today I caught another one in the exact same area. About two and a half pounds which I released.
