We set out to build a musky fly shop in 2020 — and found ourselves in the same brutal game as chasing muskies on the fly: hard, humbling, and worth every second.
The Figure 8 Chronicles is the unfiltered story of both — and the unending quest for trophy muskies on a fly rod. Armed only with fly rods and bad decisions, we battle our egos, the weather, and fish that don’t eat. No hero edits. No fake glory. Just the real journey — heartbreak, hilarity, and highly questionable choices, wrapped up in one brutally honest season.
So grab a beer, strap in, and witness the glorious futility of trying to catch a dinosaur with feathers on a string.
This is musky fly fishing.
This is the Figure 8 Chronicles.
Let the quest begin!
