Bob and I each whacked one of those 27” northern pike the other day. Most foraging anglers avoid pike because of the Y bones but if you no how to fillet around them, pike are delicious. Last nights meal reminded me and Granny that we need to collect one a week rather than one a month!
Wednesday I highlighted how fishing into November is a thing now. Well, today proved it once again. Northern Wisconsin flourished under deep blue sky, temperatures in the 50°s and an extremely light breeze. Quite frankly, it was one of the nicest days to be fly fishing for musky on a lake this year.
Gorgeous days like today bring out the Granny. Granny doesn’t like fishing in the cold ever but when she saw the forecast she was in. Though she chucked around the ball of feathers some, she relaxed a bit too much again and was the only one of us not to land a musky today.
Bob and I are getting pretty good at this musky gig. If you look back to fall 2022 these predators of the north were hard to come by. We’ve come a long way. I landed a 30” and Bob got this glossy green 35”. Will we get more days this month? I need to work this weekend but we shall see.
Jeff,
Beautiful day with a great catch!
You and Bob are on fire! What a great season.
And I see another couple of good fishing days next week. . . . . . .
Way to show those Muskies who’s the boss! Good times – happy for you guys.
