Muskie and pike on the fly

[kochanut]

myself, i use a 20lb fluro leader when fishing top water, and a tieable steel leader when fishing streamers.... as for release techniques, do a search for K2's posts on tiger musky handling and release, she provides a good knowledge base, her techniques are more harware geared than fly fishing, but all of the principles hold true. as an example, a good strudy pair of very long needle nose pliars, a nice huge net, etc.
