Livin' the Dream Guide Service
The crew at Livin’ the Dream Guide Service would like to invite you to come aboard and experience some of the many opportunities we have to offer in Minnesota & Florida! Come along and watch some of our amazing adventures as we guide for Trophy game fish 365 days a year! Minnesota has 11,842 lakes to be explored but among them are hidden treasures. Expansive, untouched rivers that wind their way through the entire region containing trophy Smallmouth, Pike, and Musky throughout. The West Side of Florida is an incredible fishery for everything from inshore snook and red fish, offshore fishing, and tarpon!

Too sharp on the corners of the figure 8! Widen it out or go to a big oval.
Thank you for the video. I'm planning to go musky fishing later this year & I'm trying to learn all I can.
loved the video! 13 guided days on the water and zero Muskies for me. I must be getting close to 10,000 casts by now so I'm excited about going tomorrow in Tennessee!
Very nice video, buddy 1:00
There is only one way to cure musky fever. Big Tarpon!
Any recommendations for equipment to use? Can I use the same rod I use for Steelhead/salmon, or do I need to buy a tougher setup like I have for my regular musky casting & trolling rods? 7 years chasing skees on LSC with the most typical tactics and I am ready for something new.
What hook do you use in the middle section?
Amazing stuff! I hope it will be available in Europe soon!
That is a beautiful fly and very nicely tied. I have no idea how you would ever fish that fly. When the materials in your fly become waterlogged it would weigh a great deal and be simply impossible to cast for any length of time. The bulky head and weight forward in the head is a sensible part of a fly. I suggest more consideration being given to materials that will not absorb water or that will drop water during the casting process. Weight is it considerable consideration. I find one articulation link to be sufficient in order to keep the weight down. I personally fish an 11 weight inorder to be able to cast for long periods of time. Smaller, more castable flies make my musky fishing more productive. Thank you for your video.
Great video, thanks for the advice
That would be an absolute dream come true for me. 😎🎣
I have pondered this same thing, why do we spend so much time and effort to catch fish?? I 💯% agree it's about the challenge of catching a fish that's hard to catch. The harder to catch the better in my opinion!! Life is all a lesson and there is Always more to learn and grow our love of fishing!
Awesome video! Haha, I just left thorne brothers with my 1st musky rod set up!!! 😊 Love the drone footage, helps see the cast really good! 👍
Just for clarification: You said 40 or 60 lb. fluoro but then showed a picture of 40 lb. Maxima Chameleon. Which one are you using? Thank you! Love the John Gierach picture; his books are awesome.
Amazing footage dude!
Luke! Nice video
A river in Mn or the Minnesota river
Looks like a channel on Lake Minnetonka
I’ve been doing it wrong I guess, lol, I’ve only been getting the hair to go around roughly 360° not the 365° mentioned in the video. I don’t math so maybe I’m missin something?
Have you ever had the figure 8 knot slip? Or had the wire cut through the double uni?
Bitchin’ been chasin huge Musky on the fly rod since the late 90’s on Lake St Clair in Detroit.
HOT TIPS" THANX!!!!
Where can a buy the Knipex round nose pliers?
Thankfully that fish was compliant enough to let you get this recorded! Thanks for the info. ;-)
Awesome video guys, thanks for the tip!
You are very talented
Onde eu compro uma máquina dessa?
Sweet!
Holy shit those boat side eats are something else. Love it when any esox goes warp and crushes the fly, lightning in a bottle
yea man. nice, efficient no bs fly.
How do you break flies off if snagged?
Fantastic tie
Really? A full 40 seconds of noisy music before getting to the actual info?
Good.
I love not watching people catch fish.
Man love this short film!!💪 really enjoyed, sad we don't have muskie hiere in UK but I love catching northern pike on the fly too! And the fly fishing makes them special 👌🎣🤘
How big was it?
What a gorgeous pattern.
I happened to buy a bait from you haha, nice video man! I’ll sub.
What line are you using? I understand you can do this with all types of lines but which one is best for this casting technique?
Im using the new Predator 11wt line from Rio
What bait should I use
I would be so pissed if I paid for a guide and he was fishing beside me the entire day. And god forbid if he caught one? That stuff bugs me, you’re being paid to guide not fish
As a guide my job is to put people on fish. While musky fishing patterns and programs can change very quickly. Why would I handy cap my clients by not checking on another pattern?They're using what has been working, so should I give them a program that hasn't been working just to check to see if it changed? Absolutely not!! Thats part of my Job as a fishing guide. When I fish I am using something different, usually a pattern that was working 2 weeks ago or will be working in 2 weeks. If I get a follow I hand my bait off to the person in front of me- because clients always get first water. So I am always checking to see if the bite has changed in the back of the boat to give my clients the best shot at catching multiple fish that day! Also Clients will be able to learn a lot about different styles of baits coming in as well as more follows/fish to the boat will only help educate the client on what to do and what not to do. Now if this doesn't sound like your kind of guide/ guide trip id be happy to refer you to another guide that just sits and watches you fish. P.S. I wasn't on a guide trip in this video
Pump the brakes, Tony. Your participation here is entirely voluntary and there are a million other videos you can watch. Life is short. Don’t be a troll.
Thank you for this information I have been slowly getting into Muskie fishing and needed a video to explain this.
“This is super easy” Says the professional Great video! Can I apply this to some of my heavier fly’s on smaller more normal than 12wt 😂 rods?
You absolutely can!!
Need to get yourself a twist-tech magnum for musky spinners. Way way better than the bogs tacklemaker!
That one dudes rod pressure was so vertical it made me cringe. I bet that dude has broken a few rods in his day.
Proudly the 100th like 😎 ! good demonstration
Ok, I’m picking up what your puttin’ down, but your only casting like 20 feet? At least when viewed from above. What am I missing?
This video was made for demonstrating the mechanics of how you water load, not how far you can. You Can Cast over 100ft once you get good at it. But for Video and demonstarting for the camera and what you can see I made 40ft casts.
Appreciate the info and like the way you presented it! Thanks!
Gives me some inspiration to keep going.
How far do you realistically need to cast for Musky? I have a ten weight that I use to throw about that size of fly, and I seem to have a hard time casting past maybe 20 or fifteen feet.
That would be about the max size fly for most ten weights especially a wind resistant bucktail pattern. I think ideally you want 50-60’ casts to be efficient in covering the water. If your in dirty water a 30’ cast would probably be far enough to get it done but on clear lakes 50’+ casts would definitely be better. Having the proper flyline is critical for double haul casting single hand rods, personally I like 450 gr scientific anglers sinking musky specific line (10 and 11 wt rods) for most applications as well as the sonar titan intermediate line for shallower presentations in spring or over weeds. These lines have enough weight to turn over big flies and the sinking line gets buoyant flies down a foot-10’ easily. Other then that it comes down to practice. Out of curiosity what fly rod and line do you use?
I should note that in darker rivers where you have a good holding spot like a current seam, eddy, downed tree or by the edge of a dam outflow short 15-20’ casts would definitely be enough to catch a musky. But in most Lakes there is a huge advantage to a longer cast. I usually can get 60’ with a two double hauls with an appropriate line/fly setup when I’m fresh. After a few hours casting distance definitely goes down and after 6-8 hours I usually go to a smaller fly to keep my cast timing down. You would be better off going to a single hook pattern and getting longer casts then really short casts with a big fly. A lot of my musky’s have come on smaller easy to throw patterns.
Any Fish over 21 is a serious fish. Great Job.
