Went to West Branch yesterday from a little bit before 11:00 to a bit after dark, almost 9 hours total. I spent most of my time between Goose Island and the the no wake area past the bridge. Spent about 2 or 3 hours trolling two musky rods from my kayak, switching up between bulldawg, giant...

I am a fly angler looking for some larger game. Northern Pike and Musky have got my attention. That being said, Am I allowed to fish in Michigan or will I return to a vandalized truck. Can anyone clarify what the Ohio / Michigan relationships is with boating and fishing?

I have 4 vintage musky lures with little or no markings. I was hoping someone would recognize one and tell me what it is or who made it and perhaps if one is a rarity. Lure 1&2 are both wooden and have a rounded nose. Lure #3 has a marking on the metal lip that looks to me to say OWO or OWB...
