Comment from a 2009 Musky Rodeo participant: "The musky rodeo was fun, if we would have taken the fishing a bit more seriously, stayed out for the prime times, and took a little time to learn the water prior to our visit, I am sure we would have found a few more fish. I would love to be there for higher water as well. Scott couldn't have been more right when he said the steak feed is worth the entry fee! The food was great, and plenty of it."
