CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT This fly brought the first eat of the trip. It was inhaled and spit out in milliseconds—because, well, musky. A river musky that tapes 45 inches is about 10 years old. That’s 10 years of eating anything that either lives in the water or happens to fall into the water, including bass, brim, suckers, frogs, snakes, ducklings and a variety of other small, four-legged furry mammals. The last musky on the last day in the last mile of the trip. It was only our second fish overall and not the monster we had released earlier—but it counts. 094 APPALACHIA
