DNR Considering 5 New Muskie Waters (1/7/10)

The Minnesota DNR is now considering the future stocking of 5 new muskie waters. See the press release here. You can also see the actual proposal of each individual water and information on how to voice your support on an informational page.

Long Range Management Plan

The Minnesota DNR has a Long Range Management Plan for Muskies and Northern Pike through 2020. A lot of time and effort was put into this by a lot of people. This is a very well laid out plan that sets the ground work for the future of our fisheries.

Fish Community Responses to the Introduction of Muskellunge in Minnesota Lakes

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has completed a study titled Fish Community Responses to the Introduction of Muskellunge in Minnesota Lakes that shows how different fish species were effected in 41 different Minnesota lakes before and after muskellunge were stocked. This is a very educational piece on what kind of effects muskies can have on other species.

Muskie Angler Survey

A very interesting Muskie Angler Survey was recently taken during the 2006 fishing season. This survey reveals a number of interesting facts about the thoughts and beliefs of both muskie anglers and non-muskie anglers about muskies and muskie fishing.

Muskellunge Education

A very educational brochure titled What Do Muskies Really Eat? is available for distribution to anyone and everyone. Fellow Muskies, Inc. member Brad Waldera of the Fargo-Moorhead Chapter put this brochure together to help educate the public on the many misconceptions that are out there regarding muskies and how they affect our fisheries.
