Somewhere In Musky Country
Words & Images By Riversmith Ambassador Eric Leininger

Every spring/early summer, I transition out of the bootfoot waders and spey rods to the single hand sticks and chasing the toothy critters. With that mind, I broke out the power boat and headed out. The season started off well feeding a few fish and landing one the first day out.
As the season progresses, the fish become smarter and adjusting your tactics is super necessary.

Flies - I tied a lot of them, and not all the same patterns. I found that just showing them something different can trigger a strike.

Hi, Eric. I fished with you at the Goodnews River Lodge. I hope all is well with you. Where are you guiding now?
