It is another chapter in the big fly book. Muskie guides call them bonus fish - bass and pike that take Muskie flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thats a cool video. On my Flambeau float in July, the smallies were hammering our muskie flies all day. We were using mainly EP baitfish flies, about 6-7" in length, and the Flambeau smallies are on average, 7-11" in length. What they lack in size, they make up for in numbers on the Flambeau. Although, after a while, when your throwing these size flies all day on 8wt rods, a thousand casts, it starts to get annoying when another little dink takes your fly.

John Gillio Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nice Mike. I landed my only muskie on a fly while fishing for steelhead a few springs back. It was a whopping 9" long. It flew out of the water when I set the hook. Definitely picture worthy, it being my first and only muskie on a fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Here in driftless Illinois we get a few WI TV channels. Saturday AM I caught Outdoor Wisconsin leading off with a segment on Fly Fishing for Muskies. What do they catch? Big Smallmouths and big Pike. Deja vu!
