Here in the upper midwest (MN/WI) we are going to have a week of unseasonably cool weather:
highs in the 60's, lows in the 40's. What impact can we expect on the muskie fishing, not just
this week (I know it will be tough), but impact on the rest of the season? I ask because
water temperatures already seem pretty cool after a late spring, a bad June, and a normal
July. Will cooler water temperatures this early in August slow down fish movement later in
August and into September?

Thanks,
Bill

Muskies are caught in November with water temperatures in the 40's. If anything this season would seem to be a good thing in that muskies shouldn't have to relocate to get to away from high water temperatures, which should keep them more accessible to fishermen.
