I've gone back and searched topics on the fish, but was wanting to know a good time of year to try and catch one. Also, any advice on guides would be great. Seems like Melton would be the place. I'd love to float the Collins as well.

I haven't fished it in the fall but would imagine Oct/Nov would be a good time as well. Melton maybe a little more predictable and easier to acquire a guide. Good luck!

Quality leaders not the junky Walmart ones.
Big lures. Muskies love big crankbaits and spinnerbaits.
Plenty of places online sell musky specific lures and they are much bigger than your average bass lure.
