There may be some northern strain muskies in Dumont. I did
some research and it seems there was a planting of them.I
dont remember when that was?? Needle in a haystack at best.
Northern muskellunge were stocked in 1965 and 1970; they were replaced with tiger muskellunge in 1971-1991 stocked at a rate of 4 to 13 fall fingerlings per acre. A spearing ban and a size limit increase to 30 inches for both northern pike and muskellunge went into effect in 1968 to protect the muskellunge fishery from overexploitation. The spearing ban is still in effect. Dumont Lake was used for northern muskellunge and northern pike broodstock collections between 1969 and 1975.

why do they call it Thornapple Lake ???
I don't know, maybe because Thornapple Bulge sounds stupid?? Geographers don't have a special name for such features- they call them lakes, but as far as the fish are concerned they are much more than just a landlocked lake!!
Don't know Ron- I've heard stories of the state record hooked and lost all over Michigan, could be anywhere even right in your backyard!!
