| Depends on the size of the river. For small rivers, topwaters rule. Shallow cranks and safety pin spinnerbaits are next on the list. On big rivers, use the same stuff as you would a lake. |

| One of my biggest river muskies came on a brown and copper Buchertail 700 bucktail. Pretty good sized river, the Menominee, in about 15' of water, well away from the bank. It was a figure 8 fish, a total boatside explosion, and scared the living daylights out of a non-fishing guy I had taken along. I think he had more fun than me. |

| I really like big spinnerbaits in the slop along the current breaks and bays. Many times, the wood and slop is underfished, and spinnerbaits are perfect for the situation.[:bigsmile:] |

| I usually use a small white spinnerbait or perch color husky jerk on small rivers. I like these baits because I catch a variety of fish. I had an evening to remember on the Wisconsin river last year (not the flowage). I caught a small pike and a 36in muskie on a small spinnerbait in the weeds along the bank early then switched to a husky jerk late along the rocks and swift water and caught a nice walleye and two nice smallies. It's hard to beat small river systems for selection.

| Boo-tails ride high and are great on flowage waters, but topwaters like musky busters, hawg wobblers, topper stoppers and thunderheads rock on good chop or low light times of the day. |
