Most of my musky fishing happens during the summer as too many other species get my attention at other times. This year was terrible as every trip I could do occurred under bright skies. I caught more big largemouth fishing for musky than musky (one topped 6 pounds). Even my 10 year old had little success and he out-fished me last year. We caught some small musky but nothing over 30 inches. The hot weather in June put a stop to river trout trips earlier than usual. Like Red, had a day with lots of follows from musky on the river but only hook ups from small pike. This fall has been good for river trout but they have been hitting in small windows of time during the day. Best trout this year is a 24 inch brown. Haven't had a day with consistent action yet. Caught all my fish in two 30 minute windows on a trip yesterday. Not a lot of smaller trout either which seems like a bad omen for future years. Then the issue with fish leaving the refinery dredge by the buggy full. Most of my next few fishing opportunities will be for walleye and musky on the lower allegheny. Seems as if the weather has had a big influence on results this year.
