Musky Fishing

This page is devoted to tips and techniques on catching that top predator, the muskellunge, and also provide a resource on where to find the proper equipment for catching them. We are calling on all club members and guests to send in their advice on how to catch this elusive creature. Also send in stories and pictures of any that you've been skillful (or lucky) enough to catch. Just as important, be sure you've read the article on the Fishing page on how to properly practice catch and release. Releasing a musky or any other fish is crucial to keeping a healthy fishery.
