Still, the muskie is not an easy fish to catch. Don't plan on going out and boating and a bunch of these fish on your first outing. But they shouldn't be afraid to try new things. If something is working, stick with it. If not, make some changes.
Colors can be a big factor in muskie fishing.
A color that works well in one lake might not be the one you should be using in a different lake. The increased emphasis in muskie fishing isn't going to hurt the Wisconsin economy, according to Maina. But as more anglers from Illinois develop an interest in muskie fishing, we'll see more anglers in Wisconsin for a fishing vacation. It's a relationship which will help both states' economies. And a business that Maina expects to be in for a long time.
