Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> muddy river

Everywhere I turn the water seems to be chocolate milk like. Just wondering if muskies can be caught in water like this. I've never had any luck when it gets muddy, but that's what it has been all summer[:(]

Vibration is the key. Talk to Steve Worrall about Wabegoon.
From what I hear from Steve and others who fish it, the lake is like cremed coffee on a good day with visibility of 6". Steve does great under theses conditions year after year.

The water I fish in my home area is muddy all the time. These fish have to eat and we often accuse them of being blind. I used to think that all orange baits, rattles, and big bladed long bucktails or slow topwater stuff was all that worked. I was wrong. Use your confidence lures, and cover the water more thoroughly than you usually would(the real key). Oranges or whites are a good color choice, as are rattling cranks, but if the fishing pressure is high(like it is here) keep it natural and they will find it.

One color I hardly see people use and that works well in muddy conditions is white, give it a try.
