Green Lake Muskie (Kandiyohi County)

[EsoxCop]

This is a Muskie I caught out of Green Lake a few years back in front of the Old Mill Inn. The DNR creel survey guy told me he knew of 7 muskies caught on Green that summer including a 47 incher. Later in the fall my buddy caught a 39 incher at the Old Mill Inn also. They are reproducing in the lake naturally but stocking would help make a fishable population. Sign the petition going around for a public forum on Green Lake Muskie Stocking.

Thanks for photo

As some of you know we are trying to enhance Muskie population by attempting to get further stocking of Nest and Green Lakes in Kandiyohi county.

This species found its way to lakes by swimming a couple of miles thru river from hatchery.That hatchery is now raising different species so its doubtfull we will see any more Muskies coming in.

The neat thing is that the ones that got here are showing signs of reproduction.Also some of the original escapies are being caught.

But lets face it the original fish are about at the end of their life expectincy.We dont know how many of the new year classes from reproduction here we will be seeing.

We need to act now as with the DNR acting to add some lakes in Minnesota we think that 2 lakes showing they are totaly capapble of growing these fish are perfect candidates for expansion.

Please start a petition to show your concern and get that off to us during the next few weeks and if we get enough fishermen that show an interest we will work to push our dream of a west central Minnesota lake with Musky in it.

this is a picture of one of the natural reproduction Musky caught here in Green

Trying to get more pictures and videos to make a point that these fish do like it here and want more of their kind

there is a petition on here to print off,pleses print one and get some of your fishing buddys to sign it

we are several months away from public meeting where persons that are for stocking can voice and show reasons why we should enhance a Musky population here.
