Price County Year-End Tips
Muskie anglers are receiving a little bonus time as the warm air temps have kept our area lakes open. Remember the water temps are extremely cold so your presentations need to be super slow. Some anglers have decided to troll since it was difficult to keep rod guides from freezing. They have had mixed success using the 13" jake baits and trolled at 1.5-2.0 mph. Anglers using live bait are also catching fish on the deep basins with a very slow drift. Some are using a vertical jigging presentation with fuzzy duzits. The cisco on those deep clear glacier lakes should be done spawning and finding those schools can bring you the largest fish of the year.
Good Luck Fishing
