Done...
I sure hope the St. Joseph River is still scheduled to get some of these Great Lakes Muskie strain stockings...
Don't get me wrong, I love steelhead fishing, but it gets old seeing all this money go into non-self sustaining fisheries like the Trout & Salmon and the native species kind of take a back seat...

Thanks Duke, just sent my pike response and will speak to muskies later. Thanks in advance to all others who voice their support toward improving our Esocid fisheries. Our pike and musky resources have amazing potential, here's to hoping we can realize more of it through better management practices.

Am I the only one that doesn't see a link on that page to the actual plans?

Hey I just wanted to encourage everyone to take your time and craft a thoughtful response about the information and goals in these plans. Not that anyone here would, but don't don't just fire off a "please stock muskies in my backyard" or something. For example, do you agree that "Michigan statewide muskellunge regulations are among the most conservative" in the Great Lakes states? Even in the simplistic comparison of Minimum Size Limits only, Michigan is not on the conservative side any longer. Used to be, but not any more. Minnesota, New York, Ontario, Illinois, and even Wisconsin have all increased either the statewide or lake specific MSL's.
