Leech Lake Muskies

Hey all,

Me and about 5 others spent the weekend on Leech Lake (south side) casting for muskies. We had 1 interested follower and two lazy follows. Anybody getting past second base with this fish and actually getting one in the boat up there?

Just curious, I don’t know that I’ll be back up there but we heard its been really really slow.

Good luck.

I had one on Friday morning for about 3 secs. with no follows. It was tough to see the follows though because of the wind unless they came close to the boat. The one I had on was about 20 ft from the boat. Looked to be in the low 40s. I was using the usual bucktail in the Pelican Island area.

crushed it on 8-25. fished from 4am to 11pm. had 1 follow. fished fast and effeciently. clear water. fished the best structure the lake has to offer on the east end. caught 1 pike???? fished rocks, weeds, sand, shallow, deep, went thru 14 gallons of gas trying to get on fish. anyone else???

When reffering to muskies on Leech Lake, the lake should be named Mistake Lake. I think guys do a lot better in the fall, but then again all muskie lakes get better in the fall.
