– Final Thoughts
From Northwoods Flyfisher to Transducer Sledder Musky Getters, every team showed up and made this one for the books. Big thanks to all who fished, cheered, netted, napped and tailgated. Whether you scored 37.5 points or just enjoyed the boat snacks, you’re part of the madness that makes musky fly fishing what it is: unpredictable, hardcore, and insanely fun.
– Until next year… tight lines and big eats!
