    They’re right. Musky are addicting. Think of those toothy bastards more than trout now

    Great job Ben. I’m in Colorado (we met when you spoke for our TU group in Longmont last year) but we own a cabin in WI musky country and I take a small group most years. You were spot on that it’s about the camaraderie and the “encounters” as well as floating drop dead gorgeous rivers. Been at this for years and we now call it a “men’s retreat” as we have some of the best times around the evening fires. As a group, we average a fish landed and a couple encounters each year. Not for everyone and not for the faint of heart! Of note we usually cast 10 wts to sustain our shoulders! Truly HUGE fish! Hope you keep at it.

    NICK!!! Had the pleasure of fishing with him a few weeks back up in Eau Claire. That was my first Musky outing too. Fun stuff...

    I've hunted musky before, and it's just too much work. I wouldn't advise anyone to go up there on an expensive guided fishing trip with the hope of catching a musky. It probably isn't going to happen. In musky fishing, that's like a good weekend of fishing. You might catch one musky all weekend. Mostly, you're just going to catch pike and smallmouth and get skunked on musky. The guys up there are all mental about musky, but what they don't tell you is that they feel successful when they catch one or two nice fish in a month of casting and doing eights. Throwing those huge flies on sink tip all weekend isn't really my idea of fun anyway. Your shoulder isn't going to be happy. If I never never do eights again it'll be too soon. A musky trip is just an overpriced waste of time that would have been better spent on the mud flats in Louisiana.

    Pike and Muskies on the fly is fishing at its BEST!!! Lovin it!!!

    Nice video! Catching musky on terminal gear is tough. Can only imagine what it's like to try on the fly.

    Sweet Vid!!! I went to Hayward twice before I caught first Musky (43") and had some Submarine follows on my second visit. Those are the ones that haunt you at night. I headed back this November for some Cold weather fly chucking rotator cuff replacement Fun. Better luck next and keep up the great content.

    Badass video! Way to show a new guy like Currier the ropes... Haha. I've heard tiger muskies are a little easier to catch. Thankfully we have a few good spots for them in Colorado!

    There are still lakes full of fishermen who club pike and musky then sink them. Disgusting

    Looked like a great time with some dedicated musky fisherman. Being in Wisconsin I thought for sure you would throw some squeaky cheese curds flies . Maybe next time , until then .
    Happy Trails

    Was on a float from Harper's Ferry to the mouth of the Monocacy catching small/medium smallmouth and had a muskie shred a new 4 weight. It was... educational.

    Keep at them Ben, Musky do suck. I caught my first one a week ago after 8 years of trying, to be fair it wasn't a monster he was only 20inches.

    Good stuff!!! And chucking a 12w!!!! Fishing with new guy’s daily!!! GIANT flies!!! Great trip.
    Questions: leaders for Musky and Pike? Size and mayerial?
    And….. third day….. what kind of boat? Looked a nice well balanced smaller set up.
    Keep up the good work!

    • @HugeFlyFisherman
      @HugeFlyFisherman  2 роки тому +1

      I’m not qualified to weigh in on leaders, but I used wire and no one seemed real concerned about it.
      The boat on the third day was a Towee.

    How come you used a intermediate line instead of a floating line for the popper fly?

    • @HugeFlyFisherman
      @HugeFlyFisherman  2 роки тому

      Closest thing to a floating line we had. It worked fine.

    Ahh, and the fly just keeps giving! Great to see even super huge experienced dudes get spanked and hooked on new stuff at the same time! Aint it just grand?? 🙂 Now we're all going to be waiting for that musky, too. No pressure. Loving seeing some new species, even if we can only dream about them down here in Oz. Keep 'em coming. Thanks PP
