Sorry I'm a bit late on this, but thought I would share my opening day musky trip.
It started out out with a paddle down towards the bigger part of the river where I knew the musky lived.

Once there I tried a bucktail and had a few near misses but nothing solid. I changed to a jerkbait and had my first musky of the year. He was in and around the 8 lb mark and after a few good jumps and towing me around for a little bit, he was on his way again.

I said hello to a few of the other river critters along the way.

and found myself at the end of the calm water so took a hike down through the rapids. I had one more miss again on a bucktail in one of the pools below.

I hiked back up and went back to a jerkbait and had my second musky of the year. Again a brother to the first and away he went as well.
