Well, since I'm stuck in Utah and don't see getting back home until mid-may I've decided to adapt and stop fretting about no steelhead/springer fishing in the coming months. However, I'm looking forward to "ice-off" on the reservoir above Ogden, where I'm living. It has among other critters, tiger muskies that range above 50'' in length. Knowing that Mayfield has these (I never thought seriously of fishing them when anadromous fish were available) I thought possibly some of you had targeted them on the bug rod. Besides my 9-10 wt and steel leaders, is there any suggestions on patterns and/or techniques you've used for these toothy buggers before? I'm assuming a good old articulated bunny about 7-10 inches might be a good bet...
