I don't need a firefighter but I've always wanted to catch a big

Ooooh, I have a couple lakes in mind. Email me privately and we can
talk about this a little more in detail.


Well, that is if you can stand being in a gas powered boat. I do have to
admit that it's well setup for flycasting. I even have a 9' 10 wt. rod I
built expressly for the purpose of muskie fishing and possibly tarpon.
If you'd like to be the first to try it out, I'd be honored sir.


Wow. Now there's an offer I can't refuse.

I'll send a note when I can make a firm commitment on the date.
Muskie season starts last Saturday in May where you are ?


Yep, and they're usually up shallow at that time of year too! To me, it
sounds like perfect conditions for fly-rodding for muskies. I have a couple
flies that I think will work, but it wouldn't hurt if you brought some as
well. What I know about flyfishing for muskies is only slightly more than
what Al knows about bass fishing. But I do know where they live, and that's
probably more than half the battle.
