Persistence is a valuable skill if you want to catch muskies in the fall or anytime. The unwavering confidence that the time you invest will teach you what a muskie is, what it needs from the lake or river you’re on, and what it takes to provoke a strike. There’s no getting around time spent on the water.

A muskie may be lurking nearby, hidden in the background of cover, waiting. It may not be ready to eat, but prey in close proximity? Instinct will kick in.
