10/9 . Another tough trip to the river

Its hard to understand why I am not seeing more fish of any size based on my proximity to stocking locations and the numbers put in. Hopefully, that pattern will change next season. Maybe I need to keep changing my tactics.

LSC is no sure thing, but I love the setting change and fishing the big water. Its a big, powerful lake and it doesn't always give up its treasure. It's been Jekyll and Hyde to me on my past two visits up there. Casting in true 2-3 footers is quite an experience. Albeit, nothing matches the experience of casting the Allegheny perfect summer evening imo

I'm down river in the Emlenton area, but have had a relatively good season so far. I don't get the time to fish so I don't have big numbers, but have seen great fish per hour numbers this year. I've caught about 13 river muskies this year. I haven't had luck finding fish in new locations, but my "honey holes" have been good this year. I even had a 5 fish day (very rare casting on the Allegheny) in June! All of those 5 fish came casting a jointed Wiley.

Yesterday and Saturday were decent. I got 1 small 35-36 on an all white Bulldog Saturday then lost 1 and raised 3 more on Sunday. All the fish on Sunday came on the magnum Shallow Invader. Man that thing looks awesome in the water!

This past weekend all of the fish were in slack water right at the current break and were feeding high in the water column. Hope this helps.
