The NY Musky Expo Experience

MORE THAN
A SHOW.

The NY Musky Expo is a weekend built around muskies and the people who chase them — the builders, clubs, anglers and families who make it what it is. Two days on the show floor, and a whole weekend around it.

THE
MARKETPLACE

Builders, makers, clubs and organizations from across the musky community fill the show floor. It's where you find the gear, meet the people behind it and talk muskies with people who get it.

Behind the build

THE HANDS
BEHIND THE BAITS.

Every lure has a story. Some leave a mark.

Behind the paint, the hardware, and the finished product are countless hours of shaping, testing, and refining—and the occasional battle scar.

That's the craft behind the cast.

LEARN, ASK,
CONNECT

Seminars and conversations are part of the Expo weekend — a chance to learn something new, ask the questions you've been saving and connect with anglers who share the obsession.

THE NEXT CAST
STARTS HERE

Kids Corner gives young anglers a place of their own at the Expo — hands-on, welcoming and all about getting the next generation hooked on muskies.

IT ALL STARTS
WITH THE FISH.

Every great fishing story starts somewhere. At the NY Musky Expo, anglers come together to share their experiences, discover new techniques, and celebrate the fish that brought this community together.
