Pike/Musky

[samuel newcomer]

Hey Gang,

With Fall right around the corner, I was hoping to put some Pike/Musky trips on the calendar. I have heard of some good spots North of Fort Royal and then at the New River in the South West.  Just wondering if anyone has some info on anywhere else.

I've been told by some of the Shenandoah area guides that the muskies tend not to travel very far from stocking locations. The Front Royal location is one I've heard of being good, as well as around Luray.

James and New river from headwaters of the James down and the new out around Blacksburg have some big girls in there. Lake Burke has musky (though I'm not sure if it is viable on fly there - never even seen the lake) and the Occoquan Reservoir has pike, but, again, I don't know much beyond that basic fact.

I'd love to get into some pike too.  Tried my hand up in Maine a few weeks ago, but struck out.  Maybe too big of a lake for my canoe...

I've talked to folks at burke lake who have caught musky there, but they did it by trolling trout-sized crankbaits behind their boat while they were bass fishing.  Musky hits were really few and far in between.

They don't call 'em the fish of a million casts for nothing.

Thanks guys,

I am gonna try and put a trip together this fall and again in the early spring.  I'll post it when I do and see if anyone wants to tag along.
