After last years trip, had to sneak out between salmon/steelhead trips and find a couple more Musky to play with this past week. They are the biggest baddest predator that we have here in the Midwest. They are a special fish and I love the chase. With possible new laws and the MDNR working hard to find new waters to plant Musky in, the future looks bright.

| B&W of a Grand Traverse Bay Carp |
It’s that time of year again, time for the Golden Bones of Grand Traverse Bay. Carp fishing on the flats is one of the most unique sight fishing adventures that a Michigan fisherman can experience. While hundreds to thousands of carp can be seen in a days adventure, the secret to the adventure is finding the player in the schools that you are hunting. Getting the correct angle for presentation and making the cast so the carp can find your meal that you are offering. Just as my belief in all fishing its the presentation that matters most, not the fly! One must learn how to present your offering properly. While carp give us almost endless opportunities to practice our cast and our presentation. Carp fishing is another great fishery in our outstanding state.
