| Was wondering if in cold water in a river...will the skis come into shallow water from the deeper holes on a sunny day to take advantage of the heat? Thanks.... |

|
| Should I ask an easier question?[;)] Actually, this IS a serious one... |

|
| A simple yes or no will suffice if no one desires to share a secret technique....[:0] |

| Daggone dude! Still no answer eh?
No, not yet!
I'm sure someone out there will happen by and answer...maybe!
Yeah, guess you are right...I really should be more patient.
I'll check back later..., ok, see you then! |

|
| Maybe

| Daggone Dude! If you fish it, they will come. More seriously now. I don't fish rivers for 'skies, but I have read quite a bit about rainbow trout and steelhead in the rivers during the winter months. I have also done a little bit of dabbling for them in the month of March here in WI. I don't see why a musky would be much different so the concept may be the same.
On warm, sunny days (relative to the weather previously)I have noticed that the majority of the trout are still in the deeper holes, but move up neer the surface. I have seen a few in shallower water just above rapids, but most have been in the holes yet. Try fishing the holes, but closer to the surface.
The person to ask on this would be Mad Dawg Hoek. He fishes the rivers quite a bit in Illinois during the winter months.
Sorry I couldn't be more help. |

| Sponge,it has been my experience that the fish stay close to the deep water,if there is structire next to the deep water then fish it.If I were fishing that spot,I would try low and slow,then go to a medium depth running lure,and finally try a bucktail running about a foot under the surface.Work the entire spot concentrating on current breaks like rocks,stumps etc.Hope I have helped. |

| Thanks dudes...Sponge and I figured others might have an idea...I know I go to a sunny spot if it's cold, thought maybe a fish would also. Then again, do I think about it, or is it an inbred instinct...change that to INGRAINED...[::)] |

| Dude, are you sure it isn't INBRED![:devil:]

| I have noticed that sometimes "yes they do" and yet other times "no they don't. My experience has shown that at times when I fish shallow on warm sunny days, and the fish are present I can sometimes catch them. But the absence of fish leaves me fruitless. I couldn't explain this phenomonon until I stumbled upon this theory;
Muskie's Second Brain
For many years it was believed that Muskellunge, which had a pea-sized brain in its head, had a second brain in its tail that was responsible for "hindend" thinking.
In recent years, the idea of a second brain was discarded. A parallel was drawn between the "second brain" and similar structures in some living species.
Lately, however, the idea of the second brain as a sort of relay junction box has regained favor. If a Muskellunge has two brains, neither is particularly large or complex.
Lately, "I have noticed" that it's not the answer we are seeking that counts, but rather the one we get.
Come on without, come on within, you aint seen nothin like the Mighty Quinn[8)] |

| By Gumby, you're right about the "second" brain, because the boss has one located in his backside; in fact that is the only one functioning now!

Location: Washington, PA | Spongee, I've seen this happen quite a bit. The key is to fish the shallower areas right above the deepest holes. I've never caught a big fish this way, but did have a 3 fish day doing this last december. They seem to move up right to the end of the riffles. |

| Daggone dude, I'd forgotten about asking this question! Thanks Tomerrrrrrr...:O |

| Here's a related one. I've noticed that the Rum River starts at Lake Mille Lac (spelling?). Of course fish go upriver in a system. Do they go down the Rum? This has always seemed a logical place to look for muskies- small river, easy to separate the good habitat from the less promising habitat. Are many muskies caught here? Hope I'm not asking for too many secrets to be unleashed.
All the best,
Don |
