Cory Allen and Scott Lewis, two of the South's premier musky fishermen, have teamed up to provide insights on deep river muskie fishing.

Cory Allen: The Tennessee Valley Muskie Authority

Cory is renowned as a master lure tactician. His expertise spans:

Rivers (especially deep ones)
Reservoirs
Dams
Locks

He offers a wealth of knowledge in the In The Spread Wintertime Muskie Fishing video.

Scott Lewis: The Fly Fishing Expert

Scott brings his unique fly fishing techniques to the table. With years of experience in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina, his insights on fly fishing for wintertime muskie are invaluable.

Wintertime Muskie Fishing: The Deep Dive

This video isn't just about wintertime muskie fishing; it's also about the pre-spawn period. Muskellunge in these deep southern river systems begin spawning in mid-winter. While the obvious approach is to throw musky lures or flies at the bank, the video delves deeper. It answers questions like:

What to do when fishing becomes challenging?
How to target hidden parts of the river teeming with potential?

The strategies discussed will enable you to navigate the waters more efficiently, ensuring you don't miss out on any muskie.

Tactical Approaches and Techniques

Cory and Scott delve deep into the river system's intricacies. They discuss:

Potential fish-holding spots in the channels
Tactical approaches to muskie fishing
Techniques for working upstream, cross stream, and downstream

Cory's Lure Dynamics: Cory meticulously discusses the swim characteristics of each lure and demonstrates how to use them effectively.

Scott's Biological Insight: With a background in biology, Scott understands the primary forage foods for muskie. He shares how to tie custom flies that mimic these baitfish.

If you're into muskie fishing during winter, this video is a treasure trove of information. By applying the principles from the In The Spread fishing video, you can explore more of the river's water column. We hope this content enriches your fishing knowledge. Remember, the learning never stops.
