Canada Musky School Up Next For Steve
The University of Esox will return to Sandy’s Blackhawk Island on Lake of the Woods July 14-21 for the annual Canada Musky Adventure School, and Steve Heiting sees a terrific “bite” awaiting the school’s students.
“We may have had a late ice-out in the northland this year, but a rapid warm-up and warm temperatures through the early summer usually result in good musky fishing,” Steve said when looking ahead to the event. “The muskies will be well into their summer patterns, and provided we have good weather the week of the school, I think our students will have lots of opportunities at nice muskies.”
University of Esox Musky Schools combine seminars and fishing for informative, fun-filled events. “At the Canada Musky Adventure, we get everyone together twice each day to discuss what’s going on. This information-sharing format is different from any other musky fishing event and is the main reason about half of our students are repeat customers from previous schools. They enjoy our format and benefit from the current hot info,” Steve noted.
The Canada Musky Adventure has produced over 2,200 muskies up to 54 1/2 inches long over the years. “Not one of these fish has ever been kept,” Steve pointed out. “Even on a lake as big as ‘The Woods’, catch and release has made a difference because the fishing keeps getting better every year.”
Sandy’s Blackhawk Island is owned by legendary Lake of the Woods guide Bill Sandy and his wife, Cindy. “Theirs is the perfect resort. Beautiful cabins, terrific food, excellent docking, and a great location,” Steve said. “And Bill’s expertise is a huge benefit to everyone.”
