Hi all, from a fellow canadien musky fisher.

I've been reading you for a year now and enjoy all your stories and tips.

Just started musky fishing the last 2 months of the past season and had the bite.....

I invested a lot of money this winter to get information and equipement.

I got myself some dvds,vhss and a membership to esox and musky hunter magazine.

I'm preparing myself for the new season and want to know the best techiques for the opening season on my theritory the saint lawrence river in quebec(canada).

-What kind of structures i should work.
-What kind of lures is beter.
-What are the forage fish in this river.
-Where the fish are gonna be after the spawn.
-What kind of depht would be beter to start 1-3/ 3-10.
-Some good lure for troling.

Any good information you can have from this river would be welcome.

I know a lot of canadian are on this web site hoping to get some info....

Even you fellow american that come fish here in canada on a trip , if you had a trip on this river i will take your info with pleasure.

Ps. i dont want the location of your spot on a map but only infos to get myself started for the opening season.

With the size of the fish you have in the pics , it looks like you already no. You should tell everyone on here your secrets. Remember to keep your lure in the water. look for the warmer water adject to the spawning area and close to the deeper water. I dont really fish rivers much but that works on flowages. Also match the hatch in spring. Lure size and colors!!!

Join muskies canada, you have a great chapter in Quebec as I was lucky enough to attend some meeting and meet some of the guys. However they were in french, do I only guessed what they were saying:)...Anyhow it is a tight lipped bunch out there, but great guys once you get to know them....good luck...Ben

Nice fish, keep at it. Invest in some Les Chubbies is all I can recommend!

In one of the 2007 issues of Musky Hunter Magazine, an article was published about long-line trolling on the St Lawrence. Long being 200+ feet of line behind the boat. Its a specialized technique thats been refined by local anglers on the St Lawrence, for the clear waters there.

For you, getting that article to read is finding a "back-issue". Not sure which issue it is.

Richard Collin, Mark Thorpe, & Larry Jones are all musky guides who frequently fish the St. Lawrence. They are experts on the info you seek. They all have websites and are usually available by phone or email. I know from personal experiences that both Richard & Larry are very generous about giving general techniques for catching muskies during whatever season you are asking. They will even offer to show it to you in-person, for a nominal fee.
