Larry,
First, I have to say I love your show. I enjoyed watching you on In-Fisherman growing up, and your passion for fishing is an inspiration!
Musky are the genesis of my interest in fishing. My dad and I Don't get to fish for them as nearly as much as we'd like to, but that may change with our discovery of some incredible Musky lakes here in my home state of Indiana. We made a day trip up to Webster Lake last fall. The lake is the benefactor of a great stocking program, and it shows. Although we a had great trip, we only managed to hook one fish. But, we have never seen fishing pressure like was saw that day. We usually fish the U.P. so it was a different animal to what we were used to. We seemed to do better than most that weekend, as we didn't see anyone hook a fish all weekend, but with all the pressure, it got me thinking..... Everyone and their brother was throwing bucktails, jerk baits, etc. In order to be successful, we need to do something different than the other guys! So how about fly fishing???
I've only gotten into fly fishing in the last 5 years or so, so my questions is what kind of equipment should I be looking at for Musky? Would a 9 or 10 weight rod be sturdy enough for these toothy guys? Any other advise for musky on a fly?
Thanks Larry!
