Who has been out there? What's it like? Nice work WA DNR. That must be one heck of a program...

I've been there a couple of times. Last time there I lost a Tiger in the 35 to 40-pound class! Amazing growth; weight to length too. The two Muskie's, Inc. chapters there are working closely with the DNR and the program is nothing short of fantastic!

If you are ever out that way, be sure to take a rod and a few lures...

What's cool is a lot of those were caught on fly rods!

Fished Blue water Lake NM. Last Oct. The lake had been very low until mid Sept. We had a Rain event That brought flooding to my area of Colo and Brought Blue Water up 8 feet. Got down there and the water looked like chocolate milk. Still managed to have a good trip and will go back. The locals fish mostly trout size baits and do well on them. They also tell stories of guys coming from musky country and taking some big one's.
