Book Review

When Rick Kustich first published his Fly Fisherman article Hunting the Hunter in 2010, fly fishing for muskies was an arcane pursuit. Six years later there have been dozens of magazine articles, fly-fishing films, and even fly rods, lines, and leaders created specifically for musky fishing. Kustich continues to lead this rapidly expanding and evolving sport with a book compiling the knowledge gained from over 4,000 hours and 25 years of musky fishing. — Ross Purnell, publisher/editor of Fly Fisherman magazine
