Anyone ever catch a muskie on a fly? We have a lake relatively close
by that is purported to be filled with trophy muskie; I've always
wanted to catch one and now I'm thinking of doing it on a fly rod.
Any suggestions on rod/reel/lines/flies?

....you need to get the video by Larry Dahlberg on fishing for muskie with a
flyrod. Some awesome shots of the strikes, etc. He uses "divers" the size
of small rabbits.

Bill Sherer of We Tie It Fly shop in Wisconsin also has some videos out on
fly fishing for muskies. Here is a link to it: http://wetieit.com/ He also
has some special musky flies for sale in his catalog.

I have the video and he gives good info on places around a lake to fish for
musky.

We have muskies on the French Broad River in W. North Carolina but I don't
know anyone who has caught one on a fly.

they are also reported to be in the new river (or so i've been told). i
recall seeing a fly-guide (judson conway?) advertising muskie trips in
the high country area.
