Post Another new river report
A few pics from the last couple of trips on the New Ive caught around 130 fish on these two trips with several 17" fish and dozens of hard fighting 15-16"ers that thought they were bigger. Just about all the fish came off of weightless plastics dead drifted with the current or tubes dragged on the bottom. The highlight was this 40"+musky that ambushed a small smallie i had hooked. I have a 36" tape ruler on the side of my yak and he was longet than that. I had him by the boat several times but no way to get him out of the water. I have since fixed that so hopefully the next one I can get some better pictures.
Here is a pic of the muskie

You're definately making the most of the yak. Nice job on the muskie. Catching a muskie is still on my Bucket List.

What part of the river are you fishing? I have been putting my boat in at the 81 bridge at Radford. I fished this past week end and caught fish but nothing big. I did hook a Musky but did not have enough rod to handle him.
