Location: Maine Township, MN | Going up to Canada for the 1st time next week. Heading up with a few other guys. Most are walleye guys. I'd like to find some muskie action. Any hints or tips? Places to try near where we're staying? PM or email [email protected]
Thanks! |

| Nocturnal - I've stayed at Mahkwa twice and from what I understand it's not the right part of the lake for muskies. I never targeted them while there so I definitely could be wrong but we'd see musky guys come back in the evening and after talking with them found out a little. They would get up at 3:30 - 4 in the morning, fill the gas tank, drive an hour or more down the lake to get to a spot and fish until an hour before sunset so they could be back safely before dark.
Since its a reservoir the water levels fluctuate and the massive unmarked boulders leads to lots of blown out lower units. When we made a run down the lake we had another boat just in case....and we needed it twice.
One thing we did do that might satisfy your big fish urge is bring a musky rod while walleye fishing and wherever the monster pike latch on to one of your walleyes have a throwback lure. Picked up a big pike doing that. An outing didn't go by without someone having a pike do that. Either way good luck and hope you find information otherwise and get into one. It's a fun trip and you'll be sick of eating walleyes by the end. |

Location: Maine Township, MN | That was pretty much what I was thinking. We'll be sure to have a blast regardless. Thanks for the reply! |

| One other thing - When you leave Mahkwa to fish each day you'll see some massive sand cliffs. You'll know what I mean when you get there. If you're bored in the afternoon go over there, beach the boat, and walk up to the top. It's a great view and there's a 1/4 mile trail that leads to a small indian village. |
