See when the lakes freeze up. We should have a river stocked with muskies so we can fish them latter in the year like they do in WV. Whats some thought about seeing if we could get the DNR to plant in a river that does not ice over and the Muskies dont get into the great lakes.

The best bet is to find a river that already has muskie in it. The main problem is that most of our rivers are iced over. There are some rivers in the state that offer winter muskie fishing. You just need to go exploring!

Here's a way to make this interesting…

The following towns in the southern half of the LP have "winter" muskie fishing nearby:
French Landing
Flat Rock
Quimby
Edenville
Beaverton

OK I found them all but French Landing. Its not on my index to municipalities and communities. So if someone wanted to fish one of these rivers what would be a good bait of lure to start with. I was thinking something small and slow moveing right? Mayby somekind og jeg?

Thanks LeMay OUt

Winter fish and early spring fish are pretty similar. For shallower areas you probably can't beat a Little Claw and a 6" Grandma. Then working deeper water with a Dawg and a Tiger Tube.

Now I want to go fishing…

Rivers by boat and rivers by bank. Yes small cranks like the Little Claws and little grannies. Also a little known lure the flutter spoon ?? Magnum Salmon spoons (trollers) like the 4.75" Dreamweavers and Northport nailers. They impart a ton of side to side action in the river current with very little retrieve speed. They will also flutter when given slack line. Add Jigs and Plastics to the deep water selections in situations where you can cross drift a hole. I like to rip them up and walk them back to the bottom. The current will take it down a little on every jig. Fishing the slack waters behind large log jams and downed trees are very good spots but snags will eat multiple treble hooked lures. Flutter spoons and Jigs are cheap so you dont feel so bad when the river eats a few up. Kingfisher
