Drove for less than 40 minutes. Parked. Then walked for about 10 minutes to the river edge. The water was an emerald green colour, so i decided to go with a 6lbs flouro lead. Tied on a 4" Green Power Grub, and casted it with a 1/16 jighead.
Found the first pool that looked 'fishy'. Let the bait drop into the current, and immediately i saw a silver bullet attack it from the rocky shore.
Fish on! First cast....A beautiful fight on the ultra-light i had borrowed...felt almost like a trout, just like my neighbour said. Jumped twice, thought it sure looked like a muskie...Got her in, and sure enough, my first creek muskie, on my first cast!
continued to fish for a few more hours, covering about a dozen or so pools, and managed three more muskie!!! (all about the same size).
I didn't take any more fish pics, as they were extremely delicate fish, and i didn't want to even take them out of the water....
What a great morning!
If you recognize the spot, please, keep it to yourself. My neighbour asked i not post where it was....and i please ask you of the same.
I plan on trying some minnows in the future...maybe find some bigger fish. (there really isn't any access to much bigger water anywhere close)
i even managed a nice smallie and huge rock bass outta this pool, one we stopped at on the way home.
