I went fishing with lou and we had an awesome day, 6-7 fish each, none under 20 inches. Pink was the hot colour, but black/purple and white also produced fish
>>1634669Not a muskie yet, but my buddy lou and i got about a dozen of pic related to hand.
>>1634591Look for state parks on lakes, rivers, and reservoirs
>>1635128If you want to have everything be good and be totally set for all of it with a fly and leader for every scenario it can get pricey
>rod reel and line150-200 for a name brand starter combo. Reddington, echo, orvis, they all offer a beginners kit with rod reel and line that have great bang/buck ratios. I would tell you to buy a cabelas 3 forks/prestige plus but its been discontinued.
>wadersCabelas neoprene chest waders can be had for $80, and the price of waders go up from there. The cabelas neoprene waders last well but neoprene is a pain
>flies and boxesDont spend more than $20 on a box.
As for flies, ideally talk to a local fly shop but adams, hares ears, elk hair caddis, and wooly buggers are hard to go wrong with
>other bullshitTie your own leaders, i like normal mono and blood knots. I personally use berkley trilene, a spool of #20, #14 or #15, #10,#6, and #4 will set you back about $35 bucks and tie hundreds of leaders for everything from bog streamers to all but the smallest nymphs and dries. A spool of 6x tippet will let you use the #18-#26 floes comfortably. Buy some strike indicators, a small assortment of split shot, and some gink, too. $400 is plenty to get yourself all set up.
