Join us for our August 13th club meeting when Phantom Pro-Staffer, Musky Guide and founder of illinoismuskies.com Duane Serck joins us to talk about fishing for muskies in Central Illinois! Duane’s family had a place in Jackson Hole Wyoming when he was a teenager. It’s there that Duane fell in love with fly fishing. His passion was wading for trout in the early morning hours in Jackson Hole trout streams! Since that time Duane has fly fished for most freshwater species and some saltwater fish as well. Fly fishing for big pike is one of his all- time favorite things to do. Duane has caught hundreds of pike over 40″ on the fly with his largest Pike registering 47″! Duane has become a certified Muskie nut over the years and is favorite tactic is watching a big Muskie blast a top-water bait or come in hot behind your bucktail. Duane describes Muskie fishing as “15 seconds of pure violence!” Duane has also been a tournament bass angler for over 20 years and has fished bass tournaments all over the Midwest. He is a past President of the Bloomington – Normal Bass Club as well as the past President of the Central Illinois Muskie Hunters. Duane loves to work with kids or anyone that wants to learn fishing…whether it’s learning to fly cast, teaching someone how to fish a Carolina rig or showing them how to make a leader for Muskie fishing. His sponsors include Phantom Lures, T-Shirt House, WWW.dryflies.com, Off The Hook, Winterland Marine and Angling Adventures and Custom Rods! Please join us on Wednesday August 13th when Duane will be presenting Fishing for Illinois Muskies!
