My first musky on a fly 27"

Post by Climber2k »

It was 2 nights ago and I went out to a spot where I had seen bass spawning
and decided to finally return.
There is some nice current there and I got set up to fish a seam.
Couple of casts/ drift retrieves and bam a one pound smallie caught and released. Couple more casts and bam a smaller one hits it and runs upstream. That's when the jaws from the deep appears and chases it into the rocks. Now I couldn't see exactly what happened, but my guess is it ate the bass and luckily for me? The fly hooked in the very corner of its mouth where it was protected. 5 minutes later after some aerials and smaller runs I beached it, lay my rod against to measure it and very gingerly removed the hook. This same section of river I have seen a monster body roll further down so I guess there is more in there. Lots of gar as well.
Now I need to bring my kayak in there so I can fish it from a different angle and get to the spots on the other side of the current.
Also why do people not pick up their used line? I have been there about 4 times and I am always picking up yards of mono and garbage.

Good one on the first Musky on a fly. I also feel the need to vent about litter bugs aswell. I was at a small Calabogie trout lake not long ago and picked up an entire garbage bag worth of junk. What I dont understand was the amount of line. One jerk must've left a whole spool worth of 20lb test....ITS A TROUT LAKE!!!! I have often thought about hauling in old garbage cans and leaving them around. However, if they got used, I would have to go empty them. I am a shore angler and hope guys on boats are'nt as bad these tools or we're in trouble.

Thanks for the vent.
Steady.
