For the LP, yes, except for LSC, DR, and SCR. We always try to have the correct info on the MMA main webpage.

You routinely find the most accomplished idiots at a boat launch! It's slapstick entertainment at its finest (unless you're waiting for them to clear the ramp). :mrgreen: Like the guy who handed the cheap plastic 1/4" bow line to his skinny little wife/gf as he backed his 30' cabin cruiser into the ...

Ugh!

I wonder how deep it would run with some 7/0s on it...

That's what they're saying.

All of the GL MUS going into the broodstock lakes will be PIT tagged so there is no question. What about when they raise some GLS at Wolf Lake and use them to plant more in Thornapple? Can they PIT tag a YOY fish? Or won't they ever put fish in Thornapple that weren't adults harvested from LSC? No ...

Wouldnt using Thornapple as a broodstock lake be difficult when collecting eggs from the GLS plants with all of the Northerns already in there? I'm sure you're right and it will complicate things a bit, but a lot of the current muskies have been pit-tagged, which will help. They might fin-clip the ...

This is one time I can't wait to see spots before my eyes...

So I'm assuming that they aren't concerned with the two strains intermingling. And do they have enough info to say the stclair fish are similar enough to the elk and black chains' to let them intermingle??? No, I don't think they're concerned in lakes where spawning isn't successful. Yes they are c...

Spawning success probably won't be much different in a given LP lake with GLS muskies, even despite what John Molenhouse found out about the different spawning habitat preferred by the GLS muskies he's studying as compared to the northern strain. Most LP lakes don't have ANY muskie-friendly spawning...

One question that occurs to me: will the startup of the GLS stocking program this year affect the Northern strain stocking program negatively?

Anyone want to bet $10,000 I won't get any fish in the net?

(Note to self: leave net home that day... )
