Ugly Pike Podcast

John Anderson is a Canadian Muskie Institution.  Despite the fact that he is one of the pioneers of Canadian muskie fishing and one of the best guides out there, and despite that we are lucky enough to share a boat with him from time to time, we are most thrilled in those times we get to hang out and spend time together because John is one heck of a guy.  Whether it is shooting the breeze, or digging into muskie 101, chatting with John is a pleasure and in this episode we do both (but mostly talk muskies!).  Our discussion topics include:  John's off season / summer camps and the ramp up to the season! How/why different bodies of water open earlier vs others Why the Ottawa region is so amazing for muskie/multi species fishing  Ottawa and MCI community clean up and restoration efforts How to prepare for season opener  Early season targeting strategies
