Careful handling and release is important to maintain healthy fisheries. There are a number of lakes in the LP but before you head off make sure you read the info/tips on our website – <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]

Where are you located so we might help you identify some closer to you?
Im in the metro Detroit area. Ive read up on the proper handleing techniques and have a strong catch and relese ethic. It would be an absolute shame to let one of these great fish die but i know it does somtimes happen. Hopefully i can minimize this though. Ive purchased a cradle, and various other things to help me keep these guys alive. Ive been a fisherman all my life, but mainly for smallies and Northerns. My grandfather was a muskie hunter though.
Belleville is pretty much the closest to the metro area that i've seen so far. i've only been out there once, and i just kinda checked it out from shore. definitely seemed like a good lake, but i don't have a boat, so i've been unable to really check it out. that should change this week though (hopefully). and it does get crazy, as fishingwidow said. i was out there the first or second weekend in may i think, and it was already pretty packed then. i'd hate to imagine what it'd be like this weekend.
