For those of you who don't know what muskellunge are... this is them. They are basically freshwater barracuda, related to pike and pickerel.
These aren't my photos but I got them to talk about this.
On Wednesday I am heading out with my 9wt fly rod in hand to try and tangle with one of these behemoths. While I might only catch one the size of the smallest here, they certainly get as big and bigger than the biggest, in the river I'm heading to.
Lately I have been focusing on tiny fly tying but here we see the other end of the spectrum. I tied these monsters today in preparation for my trip
