5/31/2010 2:38:00 PMGreat muskie photo. Thanks for sharing. We return to northern Minnesota every late fall and fish for musky and northerns. Decided to save some money and stay in Washington this year. Never fished Newman but hoped to visit there in late September.
Any suggestions for fishing for that lake's muskies?
Also, anyone know of any vacation homes with docks on Newman we could rent for a week? Thanks.

CarpMouth, Muskies in Newman are found all over. There is very little structure in the lake, outside of docks, weeds, and a sunken island on the north-east arm. The more I see of Newman, I think you are as likely to catch one on the fishing dock, as you are anywhere on the lake. The max depth is only about 30 feet. They seem to really like the Rapala Husky Jerks. Small enough, yet still active. I am sure that will change as summer progresses. Good luck!
