We describe procedures to reconstruct muon tracks in the Baikal Neutrino Telescope including effective filtering of badly reconstructed events. Special attention is payed to reject downward going muons faking upward going muons from neutrino interactions. It is shown that a rejection factor of 106-as it is needed to operate a neutrino telescope at 1100 m.w.e. depth - can be obtained with a 200 PMT array. We present first results from NT-36, the 1993 array consisting of 36 PMTs. We observe satisfying agreement between Monte Carlo results and experimental data. This gives us confidence to our simulations of the full detector.
