Iowa - Michigan Muskie Transfer
- Michigan Muskie Alliance initiated/established a fish transfer program in cooperation with the Iowa and Michigan DNR.
- MMA covers feed cost while in Iowa's Spirit Lake Hatchery.
- MMA arranges and funds transportation costs to the Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Michigan.
- Rearing of the 4-5" Iowa fish is completed at Wolf Lake.
- While in place the project was responsible for stocking over 50,000 muskies in the state of Michigan.
- After 2005 Michigan DNR chose to dissolve the program and to only stock Michigan (northern strain) or Great Lakes strain (once that program is in place).
The page on the "projects" section of the website needs to be updated a but explains it.
