Mr. Dahlberg,
I watched your show for the first time recently and was intrigued by your insights into Muskie fishing. You mentioned Hayward, Wisconsin, where my parents have a cottage on Lac Courte Oreilles. Of course, as you know, every bar and tavern there has Muskie trophys of incredible size. However, we have never had much luck fishing for them in the lake. There is a cranberry farm at one end which seems to pollute the water through fertilizer and other chemicals. I am taking my wife and two young girls there in May for my grandmother's 90th birthday. I thought that might be a good time to fish for Muskie, and was really thinking about floating the Namekogen to find Muskie and Smallmouth. I am a fly fisherman. Would you please give me any advice you might have?
Sincerely,
Darren Quintenz
