Apple Canyon Lake

A decent sized tiger musky in a shallow clear area right off the main lake basin. I estimated the size of this fish at 38 to 40 inches. I have caught muskies up to 49 inches in this lake. I always love to get photos of fish in natural habitat and muskies are close to impossible to find in open water.
