NYT on Fly Fishing for Muskie

October 24, 2010 By: Marshall Cutchin

Author Chris Santella describes fly fishing for muskie and quotes pioneering angler Robert Tomes, who says that beyond mental preparation, anglers should be prepared for the effort. “Fly fishing for muskellunge has its advantages, but it is not a relaxing exercise. First, it usually means blind-casting a heavy 9- or 10-weight rod, throwing large streamers and poppers, some that would seem better-suited to blue-water billfishing.”
Read Tomes describe “The Muskie Top-Water Retrieve” on MidCurrent.
