Musky in Sparrow Lake: I have been fishing Musky in Sparrow Lake for 20 years. This is very difficult fishing in the summer, but can prove to be a lot of fun. I have caught a few and certainly lost some big ones. I have 4 places that I have found to be fruitful.
1. From Island to Island , Bird Island North in about 15 feet. 2. Along the North West Shore in about 20 feet going south from Delmonte to the Buoy. 3. In front of Bayview outside the weed line in about 12 feet. 4. Outside the river entrance you will see a drop off down to 20 feet from 12 feet at Lauderdale point. I am using Tubes with treble hooks and large spinners. You really have to fish the lake hard and target certain areas. I found early evening to be better.There are some huge musky in Sparrow Lake, I have seen them many times on the surface some in the 30-40 pound range. I have caught many Pike in the 12-20 pound range. I do not use live bait, just the Larger Musky sticks spinners and Jerk Baits. I try to get them down to at least 5 feet in deeper water. If you don't believe me, see this 40 pounder!!

I have also attached a pic of a pike caught last summer.
