Here's two from the weekend! One very clean river fish, and one cave run fish. Had some rain and cool temps this week that really helped out. July and August usually doesn't give you too many 70* weeks around here.

Thanks guys

Idk ingwe. They beat cave runs water to a froth up there pounding the weeds. Lotta people and pressure on that lake. Not many people my age creek fishing for them though. There's a few but most are too high society to drag a jon boat around in the creek to catch a muskie. They would rather back their 60,000 dollar ranger in and fish for them that way....but that is ok with me! Keeps them outta my holes! More peaceful out here too

I've never caught a Muskie but I'd think one of those could raise some hell in a creek and be easy to lose.

They don't mess around in the creek. That water stays cool and they fight like hell against the current

A LOT of the same reasons I fish the creeks for trout here. The Big Blue Ribbon Streams have a bunch of Big Spenders and Big egos on them�and Id just as soon not see anybody while Im fishing.

My dad got me hooked (bad pun) on muskie fifty years ago. He fished the Allegheny River for muskie ONLY - and caught a few real monsters. As I remember it the biggest was 55 inches. The fish commission guys knew my dad and when they saw the snap shots of the fish, still in the water because we released every fish we hooked, they said it was, based on the measurement they took of the boat, a "double-nickel" muskie. I landed a 51 incher on the river and it is still - even after the lake trout and salmon returned to Lake Erie, my most remembered fish.

I wish that we had photos but I will always have the memories of my dad, the Allegheny River and the amazing fish he caught one night.

We used steel Tru-Temper rods and casting reels that were made for us by my uncle who made custom deep sea reels for Hemingway, Clark Gable and other famous folks. They are works of utilitarian art.
