  • Over 50 hours went into getting a musky on the fly, and now it finally happened! We saw double digits of musky, and were able to land multiple fish on the fly! Stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy.

    Hey, man! So glad we got out and got on some fish. I had a blast guiding you and my excitement was so real when we finally were able to net your first, second, and third fly fished muskies. Definite success on the water. I will make sure to hit you up when I am in the Lower and we will need to do another collaboration video. I will try to get my video made in the next week or so to show the day from my perspective.

    Most of the pike were already swam away when they see the boat and fishermen.

    I live in east PA and have never caught a Musky, I got an 8 weight NRX to try with. Last August or September a buddy and me were fishing on the Delaware in Easton and he was using my 5' Fenwick HMG with a Tiny Torpedo and a HUGE Musky took it about 5' in front go him!! He kept it on the line for about 30 minutes and as it started coming in, I think it saw us because he was getting wet so I offered to switch positions with him, I thought it would be best to hide to avoid scaring him/her. It shot down stream and then jumped completely out of the water, it looked like it was around 40" plus, I had Nanofil on and it cut while it was in the air. Needless to say, it was an AWESOME experience!!!

    STOP JERKING DURING YOUR FIGURE 8!
    The reason we do that is because that is how baitfish try to out run their longer predators. If you jerk it, it’s not acting like a baitfish anymore.

      You can figure 8 for them or do big circles if you want
      My point was that the six inch jerks wasn’t working
      There’s no rules to fly fishing predators only things that work or they don’t
