First tiger on a fly

[Merak]

Caught my first tiger musky on a wooly leech. He was only 16 inches long, but still my first!

Merak,
That had to be some thrill! Color this Irishman "green with envy"!! Always good to add a new fly caught species.

Would have been more fun on the 5 wtbut was using my 8 weight beater, cheap rod that works. Only had a 5x tip though. It was on the St Croix and I am looking forward to taking the BIG Rod out for the larger members of the tribe. I found a Diamondback Backwater 9wt on ebay for $80 new and am rigged for the big boys. 9wt Rio Clouser and SA concept 2 reel. Hope the reel is up to the challenge.

I'm envious. I've been to Canada many times trying to catch a tiger muskie but have yet to score that one. I have a personal goal to catch a new species of fish every year on a fly rod.
