Interesting video ... I did not expect to see two guy on St. Clair that had their act together with respect to fly gear fishing for muskies. I was wrong. Well done !!
@shallowthinker1 Thanks. I only fly fish for musky these days. We usually run with 9 or 10 wts. These days mostly 10 wts due to the large flies we like to use now. You can land a musky easily on either one but the 10 wt will be a lot easier to use when casting very large flies.
Austin Seymour - I will be doing a little presentation on musky lake fly fishing at 2:00 on Sat Feb 28 at Schultz Outfitters if you are interested in some of the tactics we use.
Big water lake St. Clair to be exact. I never fished for musky let alone fly fish, I am familiar with how to fish them and where on the lake from many years of bass fishing and seeing a 50 incher crush a 5 pounder. The big thing to me is what lines you use?
cal - this is a fairly old video. I have some more recent ones that you would prob enjoy more. But I mostly run a 400-450 grain line on a 10 or 12 wt. I usually use the SA cold 25 or what used to be the wet tip express. But there are some other good lines out there too
I will be doing a seminar at Schultzs Outfitters on March 1st answering many of the questions you have asked. Try to go if you can. I am not sure yet what time it will be happening yet but it is usually middle of the day.
Jeep broke Definitely go with the 10 wt. It will make casting those flies a lot easier and you will be able to land the fish quicker which is better for the fish's safety
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Thats awesome. How deep is it right there?
Nice video. What weight rods?
You fly gear only for Musky?
Great job. Looks like good sport.
What flies and colors do you guys find productive for muskies on the claire?
Can u make a video on the gear you use use like to see what kind of lines you use, and streamers.

Austin - what type of water will you be fishing (inland lks, rivers, big water)?
question. when you guys are fishing just out in open water are you relying on electronics to know where to fish?
@rekoobify the depth varied from 6' to 17' in this video

What areas are you pulling the musky from?

Strip set brother!
There are a few guys out here now that have put some real time into doing this including a a couple who have been doing it a long time
What’s your thought on the Tfo TiCr x 10wt for musky? Or should I go with the 9wt?
Jeep broke
Definitely go with the 10 wt. It will make casting those flies a lot easier and you will be able to land the fish quicker which is better for the fish's safety
Is that a st croix?
