Muskies In The River?

[drew03cmc]

I guess my question is if any muskies get into the river up from the lake where one could float and or wade for them.

Can't imagine what would keep them from it. Planning a trip to Pomme?

There's a sign that says they can't go there. Seems to be working.

Yeah, I've heard how compliant they try to be.... Always wanting to please.

if they get up in the river MDC will probably just gig them because they are not where they are suppose to be.

Thanks guys, a veritable assortment of answers. I have thought about doing some PDT fishing...

Sorry Drew. I've fished on the lake a bunch and still haven't seen many caught. But I haven't fished the river like you are talking. I've been as far as you want to go up river in a bass boat and caught lots of bass but no muskies. But that doesn't mean they are not there.

Sorry I don't have any more info or access recommendations. I've always wanted to get further up the rivers just never taken the time.

I guess I need to do some more research about peak activity, water temperature preferences, etc and plan a weekend float on the river. I appreciate the time fellas.

Drew - did you end up making this trip?? Just now reading this and floating the river for muskie definitely pics my interest. I don't get every weekend off work but if you still wanted to make the trip maybe we could plan a float before winter sets in. I do know that this is prime time for musky , fall is when they put on the feedbag for winter and move shallower. Went to Pomme 3 times last fall and had one chase and no eats (fly fishing) and havn't been since , not by choice though , the guys I went with who had a boat just lost interest.
