got to be honest with you, most the time fishing muskies on the st. lawrence is like finding a needle in a haystack. we troll 10" believers, straight and jointed. i like perch, finlander, and nine dollar bass colors. we do better at night trolling, until november. i dont know the clayton area particularly well. ask some locals or go to the bait shop they'll give you a heads up on a few trolling passes. if your ever in the massena area let me know ill put you on some fish
