Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | A gentleman called in to Tuffy asking about a particular model that lends itself to Fly fishing, and wondered if I could put him in touch with anyone who fishes Muskies with a fly rod regularly. Who might I recommend? |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | I do it quite often, all my salmon and steelhead fly rods work well for pike and musky. I dont guide for them on the fly though.
You want to talk to Bill Sherer of We Tie It in Boulder Junction, I see him guiding clients up on Palmer quit a bit.

I imagine a nice flat, low to the water boat like an Esox Mag would work awsome. My Fishhawk really does a nice job of it with the modified "V".

Location: Cudahy, Wisconsin | I am pretty sure he does if you ask him to. Another guide to look into is George Langley in Eagle River. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | I did a bit of searching, and here are a few tidbits I found. I love askjeeves.com
Bill Sherer of We Tie It Fly shop in Wisconsin also has some videos out on
fly fishing for muskies. Here is a link to it: http://wetieit.com/ He also
has some special musky flies for sale in his catalog.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1555661130/categoricalgeome/... - book on Pike and Muskies on a fly rod.
http://www.flyfishingtoronto.com/bass&muskie.htm - quick info page
http://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/panfish/part256.html - good starters info page
Thats all I had time to sift through that looked good, but here is the overall link to the search I did:

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Bill makes some really extravagant flies for Musky, they work well too. Basically glorified Bass flys on steriods.
He holds/held a Walleye world record on the fly. |

Location: oswego, il | There is a guy who guides for musky on the fly out of ghost lake lodge near hayward. I think, not sure his name is Dan Edwards? He is an older gentleman, ties his own flies and he has been on TNN and espn2 several times fly-fishing for musky. I met him once, he has a ton of great stories, cool guy. |

Location: WI | I've fished with Dan Edwards for fly fishing muskies. One heck of a guy. He used to guide out of Boulder Lodge on Ghost Lake up in Hayward, but I'm not sure where he is guiding out of now. Here's a link and his e-mail address from the below website. Also a cool clip of him catching a musky on a fly rod. [email protected]

There are a few other guides out of Boulder Lodge that guide for muskies on fly rods as well. www.boulder-lodge.com
