Awesome Report! I have never been muskie fishing, but after reading that report I know it’s definately something I am gonna have to try one of these years. Sounds like a blast!
Oh, out of curiosity, when you say there were quite a few people up there compared to years past….what kinda numbers are you referring to?

On a lot of my runs this trip I’d have to skip ahead two or three spots because there were people on them. I normally see 5-10 boats out per day when I’m up there, but this trip I saw 20+/day. I go to Ontario to get away from people, so if I have a few people fishing spots within eyesight of me on a regular basis I feel like it’s crowded up there. It definitely wasn’t crowded like Mille Lacs or Vermillion on a weekend, but the popular areas were probably comparable to what those lakes would be like on a weekday. I had to make some long runs to get away from them, but it wasn’t impossible … just expensive at $4/gallon! 
I still love muskie fishing on LOTWs, even if more people are doing it than when I started fishing there just 9 years ago. It’s popular for a reason! Great scenery, and great fishing. If you decide to try it up there, drop me a PM and I’d be happy to send lots of useless advice your way!! 
Awesome report John!
