Musky fishing – 5 Steps to Addiction
Musky fishing agenda, Step 1: learn how to cast the size huge flies needed to successfully catch a musky. Outcome: Fail.
Step 2: After paying the price in blood, this low 30″ fish came out to play. Small for a musky, but still a big mean looking fish. Keep your hands away from those jaws. Outcome: Great Success! Big thanks to the Warmwater Rambler guide service for putting us on the fish.
Step 3: Lose a monsterous beast with a gaping maw like an alligator. This is what the angler and the guide look like after losing a possibly 50″ fish. How was it lost? The beast bit straight through 80 pound flourocarbon. Sounds hard to believe, but it happened.
Step 4: Finally figure out how to cast without hooking your friend.
Step 5: On day 2, get on the water at 5:30am and touch nary a fish all day. That’s Musky fishing. Musky fishing is hard. There is no other way to put it. And now we see how the addiction begins – always looking for that bigger, better fish.
DRYFT Waders review – Fly product review on TLTFF blog
Check out this new DRYFT Waders review of our S13 Adrenaline waders on the TLTFF blog. Read the full review here.
…I have fished these waders for 4 months and have been completely satisfied with the results. I have taken a few spills on rocks, and they have held up nicely. The true fit of the Adrenaline waders makes the time in the water easy. There is minimal “ballooning” in the legs because of the contoured fit while still allowing for free range of motion and movement. The suspender system fits comfortably, and when properly adjusted, allows the top of the waders to sit high on your torso…
Friday fishing photos
The DRYFT waders crew has been out hitting the rivers a few times since they opened a couple weeks ago on the first of June. Targeting summer steelhead, we’ve seen mostly resident rainbows and a few anadromous bull trout. This past week we got out and caught a pretty big incidental bull. Here are some photos.
Start of the week fish porn – big bull
Well, you have to start the week of some way. And what better way than looking at these fish porn photos of this fat bull trout that was caught and released over the weekend.

Photo selection: Bull trout, rain, and DRYFT Waders
Conditions were less than optimal for fishing on Saturday. Freezing rain, wind, and waves made fishing a bit difficult to say the least. The use of a light switch rod made handling the wind better, but completely numb hands (nothing like forgetting the gloves at home) were really starting to get in the way of a fun time. Luckily, a few fish showed up to play so the adrenaline rush kept us out long enough to snap a few pics.
The first fish of the day.
