Musky Fishing

Tennessee is proud to boast the elusive musky as a native species. The muskellunge is not for the faint of heart, and proficiency with a streamer rod and an abundance of patience are essential. Our primary musky months are December through April and anglers should be prepared for a wide range of weather conditions, large rods, and lots of casts. But . . . when it happens, there’s nothing like the thrill of seeing the “dragon” appear behind your fly. Aptly dubbed the fish of 10,000 casts, we tell people up front that this is a game where multiple trips may be necessary to bag one of the toughest freshwater fish that there is to catch. That said, our waters are very healthy and provide ample opportunity for a true milestone in anyones fly fishing life. if you’re up for a true challenge and a test of will, this is your fish.
