The strategy to apply to catch a musky will change depending on the time of the year and the outside temperature. In the autumn, with temperatures usually between 50 and 60 F, you will be fine simply by looking for shallow waters. In late spring, if the temperatures grow past 50 F, it is better to search for deeper zones, going more and more deep as the temperature rises. When the weather gets very cold, you will need to aim for the deepest parts of the rivers, where you will likely find a great many preys because their metabolism slows down. As far as the best time of the day to go fishing, in spring and autumn it will be during the warmest hours, while in summer it is during dusk or dawn.
