Took me a little over a year to catch my first musky on a fly, but I finally did it this August! I caught this 38" northeast Ohio musky on a 10" Double Hang-Time fly I tied myself, but originated by Brad Bohen. The strike was vicious and occured less than 10 feet from my rod tip while I was wading. The musky surprisingly came mostly out of the water to pounce from above on my shallow-stripped streamer.
I did have several close encounters this Summer, including a few blow-ups, several follows I could not convert, and one brief hook-up. Anticipating catching at least a couple more during the Fall bite, since I believe I've finally dialed in to what these particalur muskies want and don't want.
For those thrill-seekers looking for a real challenge, I highly recommend you give freshwater's apex predator a try on the fly!
First time I tried attaching a photo to a thread on this forum so hopefully it works.
