Musky Fishing in Wisconsin

Muskellunge — the musky — is Wisconsin's official state fish and the legendary 'fish of 10,000 casts.' Found in premier Northwoods waters like the Chippewa Flowage, Lac Courte Oreilles and Lake Namekagon, the musky is the ultimate freshwater trophy and the focus of a dedicated cult of anglers.

Muskies are apex predators that feed on large forage — sucker minnows, ciscoes, perch and even small ducks. They're typically targeted with large bucktails, jerkbaits and rubber baits, but musky anglers know that smaller-profile soft plastics can trigger follows and strikes from fish that have seen every big lure on the lake.

Country Cave Baits specializes in bass and panfish soft plastics, but our larger baits — like the 5 Inch Fluke and 5 Inch Stick Worm — can be a change-of-pace offering that triggers a musky follow when standard musky gear goes ignored. Injection-poured in Fall River, Wisconsin.
