Ugly Pike Pilsner is proud to be the Official Beer of the famed Musky Cup! Since 2012 this competition has attracted top muskie anglers from across North America. Located on Lake of the Woods, dozens of anglers will ascend upon Nestor Falls and begin targeting any and all of the thousands of spots that LOTW has become known for.
We spoke with Byron Walker, organizer of his event, and it soon became apparent as to just why this competition has been so competitive over the years, “ The musky cup has been held for 10 years and 20 different names have been burned into the cup. This shows the diversity of angling abilities from casting top water, to jigging heavy plastic in 30 feet. The end of September on LOTW offers a transition where some fish are still on summer spots and others are feeding the deep current channels. Only the best anglers on top of their game get to drink from the cup.”
Although it is impossible to tell who will be this season's Cup winner, we can provide insight on what the champion will be drinking out of the illustrious Musky Cup! Best of luck to all anglers participating!
