    I will catch a musky on the fly next summer….

    Harriet and Calhoun are going to get “pounded” by a 12 weight fly rod and strip, strip, strip…..

    Let me know if you need a net man. I work less than 5 miles from Calhoun…

    What are you using on those flies? My latest creations are bucktail, saddle hackle, and flashabou. Yours look a lot better.

    I think we need to schedule a few trips next summer!

    Fish in front of the culverts on Calhoun right after a rain.

    Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. The flies are big as far as flies go, I don’t know if Muskies are even going to notice them.

    The rod is a 5 weight Switch Rod I just built. It’s 10 foot 8 inches long so there were a lot of guides which meant a lot of wrapping.

    I can’t wait to get some of this stuff wet!

    Looks like some real masters at work on some of those fly/streamer patterns!

    I’ve never been able to get into a Musky but landed a bunch of Northerns. Largest was 8#, a 32 incher. Took a huge Red-n-White Dalberg diver…A Musky ‘so’ has to be a big rush. Those flies look great. Good Luck!

    Nice

    Rootski –

    I am coming out of the “kid funk” and getting ready to get serious again. My baby is 4 and the twins are now 2. Daddy will be able to get out on the water again!!!!

    My rods are older, my bones are older, but I am way more interested in “getting out there”.

    We will connect next spring summer – my lakes or yours. I fish alone – alot so I always have an “empty seat”

    Tim –

    I work “on calhoun” when I am in town.

    Come on out but don’t give me [censored] for answering the cell phone – constantly – when we are fishing. I am out there alot during work hours. Miss a few due to calls but you can keep on chucking and winding….
