Wooden Boat People

Last day of the season!
Yesterday was the last day of the Musky season here in NW WI. 20 degree temps, Ice on the rivers edge, sunny, no wind. Gorgeous morning! Rowing our homemade wooden drift boat using a homemade Musky fly, spending the day with my son.... I think we have the making of an excellent beer commercial. We sure had fun.
I'm new to this so correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the oarsman (me) deserve all the credit for putting him on this fish? Ha!

Ron,
No doubt about it, oarsmen put the boat where the fish are or going to be.

Thanks for confirming the role of the oarsman Mitch. All my son did was make a good cast, good retrieve, good hook set and fought the fish well. So not much! Haha.

Nice fish! As oarsman and presumed netman, you certainly did your job! Congratulations to the lad, too.
Got some muskie fishing in this fall and wish I could have done more. I could develop a real jones for drift boating muskie rivers in late fall based on this year's experiences.

i agree Jonathan. Late season if not too much wind can be great musky fishing! Here's to next year.

Is that on the Eau Claire?

Why yes it is! How are you familiar with it?

I fish the section upstream of Lake Eau Claire several times a year. Unfortunately much of it can't float more than a canoe but the fish are there. I have family who live on that section, one of the few homes that wasn't flooded out when the road washed out on Rock Dam Lake years ago.

We were on the section below the Lake Altoona Dam. We have scouted the upper section you refer to but have not drifted it yet. Next season!
