I arrived at Merritt Reservoir and Sam was right on time. Within minutes, we were out enjoying the beautiful scenery. The weather didn’t quite cooperate—temperatures had dropped overnight, and the fish had scattered—but Sam stayed focused and determined. After a few hours of patient fishing, my reel suddenly screamed, “Fish on!” Merritt Reservoir delivered a stunning 43” musky! Huge thanks to Sam for another unforgettable fishing memory. I highly recommend booking a trip with him and experiencing the great outdoors for yourself!
