Joseph Christopher Alfe looks at muskie fishing differently.
‘‘My goal is to get one over 45 inches on the fly,’’ he messaged with photos of recent catches from the Chain O’Lakes.
There are different ways to experience the outdoors, be it fly-fishing for muskie or kayak-fishing for walleye on Lake Erie, as William Somerfield did.

‘‘Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the fish do not want larger or quickly moving flies,’’ Alfe messaged. ‘‘They are literally slurping them off the bottom like a bass does a plastic worm, usually 4- or 5-inch leech or baitfish patterns. This is no secret to a few, but most muskie guys refuse to believe it.’’
