Well I guess first I am curious if it is even worth my time to fish for them. A reservoir near me was stocked this year with 150 6"+ Tiger Musky. in 2007 51 6"+ were stocked, and then in 1990-1991 300 fingerling sized fish were stocked.
Would it be worth my time to try fishing for them? I would be stuck on shore, I know when I was fishing with my cousin in Utah when the water levels dropped they started creeping in the weed beds along shore but I dont know if its the same here, I also dont know if they are targeted very hard here.
For gear, I have my 40 class Shimano reel, currently its spooled with 12 lb mono, if I put a steel leader would that be enough? This isnt a huge fishery and Im not expecting massive fish but one will never trully know whats in those waters.
My rod is a Shimano Clarius, 8'6" MH rod rated for 8-17lb line. Its Lure weight is only 3/8-1 oz.
Technically I think the rod is made more specifically for salmon/steelhead (reason I bought it) but I am curious if it would be sufficient for fishing this resevoir?
Thanks all!
