Muskie above Brainerd dam

[laker1]

I heard of a few muskie being caught this year above the Brainerd dam and Rice lake on the Mississippi river. Maybe the stocked fish are showing up a little. Anybody been up there?

I have fished up there a bit and have had a couple on but did not boat them one was very small about 24" and the other I had at the boat and lost it as I was going for the net and that one was about 36". they only put about 15,000 fish in there and at the 4% rate of survival that leaves about 3 fish per mile of river that was stocked

Good luck. Been fishing it steady for the last two year and you have a better chance winning the lottery, to far and between to target them and there not that big.
