Title: Curlew Lake fishing?
Post by: Elkstuffer on July 17, 2014, 07:29:54 PM: Going to be staying at Tiffany's resort Aug 1,2,3 and just wondering what the fish might be biting on. I prefer to troll as aposed to power bait but will do whatever it takes to get my son into some fish. Thanks for any help.

Post by: Elkstuffer on July 18, 2014, 05:28:29 PM: Wow! Didn't know there were tiger musky in there. Is there one part of the lake that's better for the musky? What am I looking for in musky water? I've fished for pike on Couer d' Alene lake and in Montana but never musky.

Post by: stryker on July 21, 2014, 01:04:26 PM: Im not an expert but I like the drop-offs and along weed lines. Keep your eyes on the bait, if you think you have moss or other gunk trailing behind your lure... look again. It may be a follow.

Here is a Musky specific forum. TONS of answers.

Post by: Hi-Liter on July 21, 2014, 02:39:30 PM: I just got back from Curlew been going there for years. We stay at Black Beach. Trout fishing was great we do a lot of steal fishing from the boat. Lots of turtles and perch in the lake this year.

I saw two tiger muskies dead floating in the lake they looked like someone slashed them with a knife behind the front fin and bled out. They were all white and decaying and smelled really bad. I reported it to the owners of Black Beach.

It was floating past black beach the larger one, 34-38 inches. The second one was in the smaller lake where you go thru the shallow channel.

The smaller one was about 24- 26 inches.

They both had been dead for a while.
