Muskie Opener 2012 Report - June 17-18, 2012

First reports of the season are a bit mixed, but the overall theme was a slow action opener.

Water temps in the 66-68 range were actually down from the previous week as wind, rain and cooler temps created cold front type conditions.

A few fish were seen on rocks on the morning of opener, but Sunday brought a mixed bag of mostly tough reports with a some fish seen here and there.

I was on the water saturday night from 6-10pm and Sunday morning from 7am-3pm with a grand total of 1 confirmed muskie sighting, which hit hard, but didn't get hooked up to the double 10 bucktail. Fished a variety of shoreline rocks, weedy bays, sand/weeds, points, weedy saddles. West and south facing for the most part. Water was stirred up from the winds and may flies were thick where wind was coming in.

On the bright side, most of the weeds looked great!!

Action will get better with stable, warming weather, but there is a chance of showers and t-storms the next two days.

How did everyone else do for LOTW Opener 2012 in the Sabaskong Area.
