If you could, where would you stock muskies?

I agree with Lake Mary although the lake association would never have it. I think Prior Lake would be awesome. Also Upper and Lower Red Lake after the state takes control in 10 years. Then there would be no reason to go to Ontario.

One of the problems is that some of the lakes that are stocked with muskies now don't get the full quota they are slated for. Adding more lakes would just make it worse. BTW the state has outsourced most of the muskie growing to the private aquaculturists. So buying more is not the answer. Either is growing more. Walleyes are taking up many of the ponds the state has used for muskies in the past. Long story short, what you see is what you get for the time being.

Prior and spring would be awesome. but the true strain, the hybrids in cedar are getting on my nerves and tonkas a long drive.

I agree with Rob. Forget the individual lakes and start managing chains.

It's too bad that lake associations have as much control over the DNR as they do.

I would love to see them stocked in green lake by spicer. They are already there in small numbers. I know I know I can hear they walleye guys blood starting to boil. But come on do the walleye guys get every lake in Mn? They have wrecked every good shallow duck lake in southern Mn by stocking eyes and areoateing them. Can't we have a dozen more lakes with ski's stocked in it.

I'll second Green Lake, us Musky guys around here have to drive over an hour just to find a fishable population of ski's.

Ottertail is a good choice. It has alot of good monster cabbage patches, Tons of structure, a huge forage of ciscoes, and tons of perch. And the acreage to sustain a nice population. All of the northerns that I pull out of there are good size with 20 lbers not uncommon. Also there are some skis that swim in from West Battle. Last but not least, they stock 2 million walleye fry a year that will only see 14 inches anyway. Perfect eating size
