Whenever someone can integrate Pam Anderson into a technical explanation of any kind, I support that venture.

Jim,

I’ve usually used the Morrish Mouse and had success (it’s easy to tie as well):

Last year we happened to be fishing and actually saw a live mouse swimming across the water.  I was amazed to see both how fast it made it across as well as how little of its body was underwater.  I sold my buddy on night fishing at that moment.

I’ve worn a vest, chest pack and waist pack, and I’ll probably never go back to wearing anything but a waist pack.  Vest was always too much (too hot, in the way, heavy), chest pack was somewhat uncomfortable because something was always hanging down.

Waist pack is a good way to carry all you need (including lunch/water), and it’s out of the way.  Unless something changes, I’ll never use anything else.

By the way, I use a William Joseph pack and I’ve got no complaints with it.

Also a good point, thanks Carter

Will do – I’ve been shocked as well with some night shots that I’ve taken in the past.

Thanks.

Thanks guys for the tips and advice – you’re right, I really wasn’t concerned with composition that much with these shots.

Rob,

Check in with one of the shops up that way before you go – I went out yesterday and most of the smaller streams were iced over.

Oh and it was cold as hell out at 9am yesterday.

Stuff that looks like this (not my box):

I know a lot of people get muskies out our way Dave with smaller stuff (relatively) – whistlers, big EP type stuff.

The slide show that’s on there is cool too, because it reminds me of the setup that I have to use.

Thought I would add this podcast that Martin Jorgensen did to the mix:

Rob,

I’ve been in talks with them to start helping with a tying class at some point in the evenings at Walter Reed.

Great 2nd shot of the hands Aaron – hope you had some fun up there in the North country with Tim.

David,

2 friends of mine both have that reel paired up with their spey rods and it works just fine.

[mark s]

Actually Lee, the first cast muskie popped off, and it was more like cast number 8 or 9 of the day.

A few of my highlights for the year

Steelheading in MI with good friends

Epic day of muskie fishing, including my first

Mick,

This should help as a starting point:

[mark s]

Wow John – that’s a great shot.

[mark s]

Looks like maybe stretch tubing on that green caddis?

[mark s]

Great thanks – Bob, I obviously didn’t read the resident part closely enough.  

I’m also making sure to bring the glass minnow I think you tied for the streamer swap with me, along with some others.
