There are some decent sized Musky to be had in Lake Monona. I used to see them chasing smaller fish near the Yahara River inlet and outlet in the spring. During warmer weather they move to the deeper weed lines.

@@tenkaragenki Yes it was. Living in South Africa means access to Tenkara Rods is more of a mission. Especially spare parts if you break one... Jealous of the ease of access to great Tenkara rods in the US.. I am Having fun ordering "Tenkara" rods from TEMU... The 6 foot version I ordered is great...11 foot Goture, not so great... Very stiff and the tip section pulled out of the rod. I have ordered a 9 foot and 11 foot from another manufacturer through Temu, they look promising...I am currently fishing a 12 foot Nissin Kawashi 36 and it is truly excellent. I have had it for 12 years... Last week I fished a small stream here and landed 6 smallmouth bass. It was super fun. Stay warm.

The wind dictates moving to a heavier line so I grab whatever shorter, faster rod will be better matched to that line. Honestly, the thing I hate most about strong wind is that it completely destroys my GoPro audio (just can't find a good mitigator). I just love it when those big browns are hungry enough to give up their hiding places and dart out of the underwater/creekside vegetation. Nice work Jared!
