Susky Built: Susquehanna smallmouth bass, musky and flathead catfish

Smallmouth bass, musky and flathead catfish on the whole Susquehanna: the West Branch, North Branch and Juniata, down the main stem to the Susquehanna Flats.

Mission

One river system, three fish

Susky Built is a fishing brand built on the Susquehanna River and its watershed. We fish for three species: smallmouth bass, musky and flathead catfish, from the headwaters of the West Branch and North Branch, through the Juniata and the main stem, to the Susquehanna Flats in Maryland.

We're making faceless fishing videos for YouTube and social, where the river and the fish are the focus. Alongside them we're building a free companion app, also called Susky Built, that helps you log your days on the water and keeps your spots private.
