WEST BRANCH RESERVOIR
During most of 2007, West Branch muskie hunters fared well with a total of 134 fish reported to the OHMC. Nine muskies measuring at least 42 inches were taken, and 114 fish measuring at least 30 inches were caught, only one of which was kept.

Carefully plan your approach to West Branch. Some muskie anglers employ the slipshod method that Pyle refers to as "blunder fishing." You just fish any old way and sooner or later, you blunder onto a muskie.

The "classic big tackle" method is far more effective and utilizes heavy poles, big reels and large lures. But another way may be even more effective. Bass equipment with only 12- to 14-pound line can provide good sensitivity and control, said Pyle, as long as the reel is a level-wind bait-casting reel with an anti-reverse.
