On this week’s show, we’re learning more about musky research and management in Minnesota. Kamden Glade from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources joins the show to talk about some of the muskie tagging and research he’s done on Lake Vermilion, as well as some of the other projects happening across the state. He tells us what he’s hoping to find, what they’ve discovered so far, and more. Joe Henry has the latest from Lake of the Woods. Bret and Dan start the show recapping their family fishing trip and talking about the potential pause on Minnesota’s elk relocation because of Red Lake, and Dan tries out the MN DNR Electronic Licensing App for the first time.

On this week's Musky 360 Podcast, new Musky fishing lures on the horizon. Plus, weather predictions on seasonality and the future of artificial intelligence in Musky fishing. Listener Q&A and more with host Steven Paul and co-host Jay Esse.

 On this week's Musky 360 Podcast, Dr. Bob joins Steve and Jay with a very informative discussion on how muskies hunt. Also multiple new Musky 360 App features including Steve's Musky Power Hour which will incorporate current weather, moon phase and other important factors into predicting bite windows!  

Episode OverviewIn this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly podcast, guide Matt Reilly discusses late January/early February winter conditions on the New River and tactical considerations for musky anglers navigating frozen water and seasonal transitions. Reilly details how 6 to 9 inches of snowfall combined with sub-freezing temperatures have kept the New River frozen for nearly two weeks, creating challenging access conditions while fish hold in predictable winter lies. The report covers ice safety protocols for anglers working from boats during breakup periods, identifies which river sections will thaw first based on gradient and sun exposure and explains how snowmelt from the western North Carolina headwaters will buffer water temperature rises even as air temperatures climb into the upper 40s and low 50s. Reilly also provides booking updates for the tail end of musky season extending into early March, pre-spawn smallmouth opportunities in March and April, the spring striper run and post-spawn musky fishing, emphasizing that winter downtime offers anglers ideal conditions for planning technical trips targeting these species throughout the New River system.Key TakeawaysHow to navigate ice safety when fishing from a boat during river breakup, including avoiding large ice sheets and maintaining situational awareness for floating ice hazards.Why lower New River sections near Claytor Lake thaw first due to wider channels, direct sun exposure and lower elevation compared to shaded upper watershed areas.When snowmelt from 6 to 9 inches of accumulated snow in the western North Carolina headwaters will create increased flows that buffer water temperature rises during early February warm-ups.How to identify productive open water during marginal freezing conditions by targeting faster gradient sections and areas with warm water influence.Why late winter offers optimal planning windows for booking pre-spawn smallmouth trips in March and April, spring striper runs and extended musky season dates into early March.Techniques & Gear CoveredThis report focuses on tactical decision-making for winter musky fishing and seasonal transitions rather than specific presentation techniques. Reilly discusses how fish remain in predictable winter holding locations during prolonged freezing periods, requiring anglers to understand hydrological patterns and ice coverage to access productive water safely. The conversation emphasizes reading watershed dynamics during thaw periods, identifying which river sections will open first based on gradient, sun exposure and proximity to warm water sources like dam releases. Anglers targeting the late musky season extending into early March will need to adapt to post-freeze conditions where snowmelt increases flows while moderating temperature rises, creating transitional windows that precede pre-spawn smallmouth opportunities in the same system.Locations & SpeciesThe report centers on the New River in Southwest Virginia, particularly sections from the western North Carolina headwaters near Mount Rogers through the lower New River approaching Claytor Lake. Primary target species include musky during the extended late winter season through early March and smallmouth bass during the pre-spawn period beginning in March and continuing through April. Reilly also mentions spring striper runs and post-spawn musky fishing as key seasonal opportunities. The late January/early February conditions feature frozen water throughout most of the
