Flyjon Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I hit the upper Niagara yesterday morning for Musky, had 3 follows and one hit ( which I didn't hook) . There were a good number of boats out, but I didn't see any fish landed. Fished hard for about 4 hours and left to fool around in Erie once my fishing part got bored. I'm new to musky fishing so I was happy with my day. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D McV Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I spotted one about 3 feet long sitting along a current break yesterday . Tied on a large top water fly I had tied up,cast it about 6 feet in front of it gave it 3 swift twitches and it nailed it ! I set the hook ,the fish turned aaaaaaand SNAP! My leader broke , I was gutted and went home with my head held low . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ouch, that had to be a heart-breaker! Musky on a top-water fly! What a rush that must have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D McV Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Twice on the same pattern I came up with by accident last year by chance lol.I tied a large almost intruder style fly with a tightly wound large ball like ice dub head to push water and low and behold it didn't sink so the wheels started turning. Now I have to tie more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D McV Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Walk the upper river and look for areas you think they might be and odds are you will find a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
