Everything one needs to create muskie flies….high quality bucktail and more.  No-hassle ordering and prompt delivery.

The buck tails I receive are always the brightest colors!  The shipping turnaround is very fast!  This is my go-to for any buck tails I need for my musky flies!

Everything arrived quickly. Great service as usual. The colors on the bucktails are great. The request for a review did arrive several days before the goods though. It was sent the day the order was acknowledged.

Musky Fool is great!!!  I would give this place 10 stars if I could.  I ordered a new Fishpond net and had to change my order after I sent it in because my initial order turned out to be the wrong model.  Tim at Musky Fool quickly changed my order and immediately got my net packed and sent to me.  It fits perfectly into my wading belt and is exactly what I wanted.  Great service and super-fast delivery!

This was my first but definitely not going to be my last order from Musky Fool.  Fast shipping and loved the personalized thank you card.

Casey S.

Always a pleasure doing business with MuskyFool Fly Fishing.  You have best colors and quality of Bucktails on the market.  I also laughed out loud when I read the label on the outside of the most recent package.

Love your shop!  You have everything I need for tying and fishing and I am looking forward to booking my first Musky on the fly trip with Musky Fool!

My order shipped within a day or so of ordering and got to my house ahead of schedule. The bucktails that I bought look to be amazing quality and the color looks great. I can’t wait to tie some flies to see how much better quality they are compared to the normal ones I buy. I will definitely be ordering from Musky Fool again in the future.

Watching Gunners fly tying videos, he mentions Musky Fool for purchasing quality bucktails and other materials. He was so right! I am very excited for having a connection to quality!! Thank you!

Tim S.

Love this shop. Solid flies and equipment and clearly operated by some just really cool and genuine musky fishing fools like us. They've also put together a very well designed webpage and added some knowledgeable touches here and there to product descriptions and search features.I've been out of the musky fishing game for a bit given job and location.There's no better place to get what you need for musky on the fly--and break into that 10,000th cast--than here. Really, probably no other place.That said, I seem to be stuck on my 9999th cast, for the third time... I think all the fish migrated...Thanks folks!

Musky Fools are very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.  I never experience the attitude than can pop up with other shops.  They inspire us to flyfish and get into the outdoors!  How can we save our planet if our feet are not in the grasses and streams

I ordered my first Reck-N-Rack bump board from Musky Fool and I’m so excited to use it! My order came perfect, just what I wanted, highly recommend their products and gear.

Jackson S.
★★★★★

Great people to work with! Website is easy to use, stocked up on everything you want or need..if you have any questions about anything they are very responsive and great people to chat with! Very fast shipping! Will continue to use musky fool more and more!!

Justin B.
★★★★★

I have had to give in to ordering bucktail via the mail…without seeing, touching and ultimately approving what I like and want to buy. The crew at MF has eased these concerns by providing consistent, high quality ‘tail...I mean really nice ‘tail. Soft, long, great dye jobs etc.  I never feel like I’ve gotten a bum tail, which says a lot. I’m picky and tie for clients that expect only the best be used.  The MF team has your back!  Buy with confidence.

Ethan B.

Recently booked a guided musky trip. Had an amazing time on the water with both BamBam and Nick. They’re both super fishy guys, and fun to spend the day on the boat with. I learned so much from them, and was fortunate enough to land my first and second musky on the fly (among several other close encounters). I can’t recommend these guys enough if you’re interested in a guided trip and I’m already trying to figure out when I can come back and do it again. Also, I’ve been buying tying materials from Musky Fool for awhile now and have always had an awesome experience - great materials, fast shipping, and the best customer service I’ve ever experienced in the fly fishing industry. Just straight up good people!

Evan G.
★★★★★

What an amazing guided trip I had with Nick…it’s true what you guys say about Nick being the “guides, guide.” I came back to Wisconsin with a very minimal knowledge about these amazing creatures we go insane about, he took my basic skills and added and added and then added some more, leaving me with much more confidence and wherewithal on how to catch musky on the fly. Not only that but he was one of the most genuine people I have ever met, the day was filled with laughs, smiles, shakes from fish, a bunch of knowledge transfer, and by the end feeling like we were long standing friends. I can’t wait to move back and have Nick be my only guide I book trips with.

Billy G.
★★★★★

Great customer service. They were able to ship my order quickly and were super helpful with product selection.  Will definitely be using Musky Fool for my future Simms purchases.

Ben H.

There is no other place to shop for Fly fishing for Musky than this place. I live in WV and would love to come to the shop but since I cant, their website is wonderful and so easy to use. Also, the contact on order placement and shipping is outstanding. I would recommend them for any avid fly fisherman for certain.

Musky Fool is consistently incredible from service to speed of delivery. I love that they leave a short and sweet note on each invoice. I always go to them for tying materials for musky and pike flies. Gunnar Brammer was not kidding about their personal distribution of super high quality bucktail!! They have a stellar stuff and people. Hopefully I’ll one day make it over there to fish with them!

Over and Beyond!  I met Gabe about a year ago on a Muskie Fishing guide service. He showed nothing but support for my amateur fly fishing experience.  One year later, I gave him a call at Musky Fool and he hooked me up with a full Muskie kit.  He was even able to get me the products within a few days!  I cannot say enough about Musky Fool and my boy Gabe!  I will fish with you again, soon!

WOW... just wow!!! I was lucky enough to be pointed to Musky Fool by a buddy that knows I am about equally crazy regarding Musky fishing, and fly fishing. I placed an order, and immediately had some buyers remorse about it (kicking myself about ordering an 11wt versus a 12wt).I emailed Musky Fool and Dan responded almost immediately. He was thoughtful and through in his response, and asked great questions about what type of fishing I planned on to make sure that the 12wt was really a better option for me.  Then Dan went even further above and beyond by taking the time to make sure my entire fishing setup was on point, from the butt of my rod to the furthest feather on my fly(s).I can't say enough good things about Musky Fool, they went out of their way to give me the "local fly shop" experience even though I am across state lines. They took the time to answer even the silliest of my questions (i.e. are clasps really ok, or is that just being lazy?) and did all of it in a way that assured me these are folks that are just as crazy about both Musky and Fly fishing as I am. 10/10 will totally be doing more business with them in the future!!!
