How to Fly Fish for Musky: 12-Inch Flies for Giant Fish
Here's a quick how-to video with everything you need to know about fly fishing for musky! In less than 8 minutes, we will give you an understanding of where to find musky, what flies to use, gear to fish, and techniques. This was filmed earlier this year back on April 21st and April 23rd.
0:25 - Musky fly rod, gear, and full-sink setup on a 9-12 weight fly rod. Finger guards are a must for musky as it helps with a smooth retrieve.
1:23 - What flies should I use for musky. Long articulated streamers with great 'action' and tons of wild movement when stripped are preferred.
1:55 - How to fly fish for musky. What retrieve should you use and how to do a figure eight presentation.
4:45 - Behavior of musky and what to do.
5:00 - Where to find musky in rivers. Musky are ambush predators that are most commonly found in slower, flat water that is 8 - 10 feet deep. Best times to fish for musky are in the early spring before breeding and in the fall months.
6:40 - What is it really like fishing for musky. They are tough fish to catch! Nevertheless, I loved fishing for musky and plan to be back out this fall.

    Was throwing a jerk bait and inline spinner ans couldn't get a anything. They were hitti g topwater and it has been sub 30⁰ all week. Creek comes out of mountain and only has trout chub abs a bluegill in a deeper slow hole thats veen stocked by a beighbor but they usually dont last. So what were the trout eating? I dip my pole in the water when they're frozen up. Just have to constantly dip.

    First video I ever watched to learn how to Euro fish, and I just subscribed and checked out your website. I’d like to support your business if you can give me advice on how to get setup? I’m from central PA tired of using spinners. Appreciate your video

    • @theflycrate
      @theflycrate 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Absolutely! The setup can be incredibly basic to start. You can start with your current fly rod and floating line. We will eventually publish our recipe, but this euro leader recipe is a great start. From there you can follow our nymphing rig setup in the video for a 2-fly combo. www.hatchmag.com/articles/how-build-better-euro-nymphing-leader-and-detect-more/7715363

  • @mimmimo7459
    @mimmimo7459 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fantastic overview. For questions: how do you work your set when needing to fish a distance from where you stand - 20 feet or so thus short nymphing notndoable.

    • @theflycrate
      @theflycrate 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Having a 10-foot fly rod helps with reaching. Plus, you can still use a mono-rig (long euro leader) for dry flies and distance -- it's very difficult and significantly less accurate. Rather than having a direct contact with the flies (fly rod tip directly above or leading the line) you will want to switch to a more swinging technique. You will want to cast slightly down and away from you to keep the line taught, exactly how you would with wet flies.

  • @EatShredSleep87
    @EatShredSleep87 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is s shitty video with tons of misinformation. Your leader should be tapered in fact, enabling you to cast effectively with a similar technique to what you would use with a standard floating line and 9ft tapered leader. And this applies to running 20 ft of mono behind your EN specific leader or a specialized EN fly line. Also, when utilizing two flies with one on a tag dropper, the heavier fly should be on the end of the main tippet section of your leader. That is, it should be the bottom fly and the lighter fly should be on the tag dropper above. The reasoning behind this comes down to preserving contact and sensitivity. There’s more bs in this video so beware.
