" - "Most" musky anglers stop fishing these giants when the water temps increase, even in our northern states......why? To preserve their fisheries."
I totally agree with you Pruett.
We had a hot spell back in July where I saw some surface temps on the rivers as high as 87 degrees, all the way up here. That's the time put the 10 weights and the big flies away, and do a little small mouth fishing or head up to lake superior.
Things have cooled down nicely here, temps are right around 70 and the musky's are very happy! (And so are my clients...!)
