| I can't give you any tips on Clear Lake in IA, but I do want to recommend that you prepare yourself with the appropriate gear to target this species, specifically proper release tools. Muskie fisherman take extreme care of the the resource and want to ensure that new anglers protect the species as well.
Make sure to get a proper hook cutters, large net, needle nose pliers, etc..... If you boat a muskie, make sure you leave the fish in the net submerged in the water while removing the hooks. If the fish is hooked bad, please just use a hook cutters to free the hooks. You can replace the trebles on your lure in a matter of minutes after a successful release.
Best of luck out there if you go. Please take care of the resource. |
