Michigan Muskie Alliance (MMA) in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has created an educational sign that will help the public "Know the Difference" between muskellunge and northern pike and help them identify the appropriate size limit for each species. The purpose of this sign is to reduce the number of muskellunge that are being harvested because fishermen think they are northern pike and to reduce the number of undersize muskellunge harvested. This sign will be posted at all 95 lakes and rivers in Michigan that are managed for muskellunge. The signs will be checked and maintained at least twice per calendar year by MMA.

Funding for this project in the amount of $5000 was received in April of 2008 from the Hugh C. Becker Foundation in Minnesota.

MMA project chair is David Anderson (Forum name: muskypimp)

I have about 140 of the new signs!!

If you are working with this project in S. Michigan please contact me by PM or e-mail so we can figure out how to get these into your hands.

I posted two KTD signs at Ovid today. Look for the one by the ramp, on the side of the 4×4 for the largest sign there, the one with Wills' mug on it.

I posted the other on the fishing pier over by the campground.

Thank you, Hugh C. Becker Foundation! [smilie=applause.gif]

BTW: when we were at the LSC Selfridge launch last weekend, we didn't see any KTD signs. Were there any placed there that I didn't see?

Since the Ovid ramp is being re-done right now, they have uprooted the sign we used to have our KTD sign mounted on, and it was sitting off to the side on the ground. I have removed the KTD sign for now to keep it from being ruined, and will re-post it when there's something to attach it to again.

Saw a KTD sign at The Lower Tahquamenon Falls Last week. My son catches two 20" browns and a 17" muskie in one of the pools. The Muskie was his first cast…go figure.

Check this out. Talk about "sign security". The border patrol makes two runs a day and stops momentarily at this launch. Don't think they got permission from the MMA to use my cedar post but I think I'll let them slide. The sign does have some nice dents in it from someone but it held up nicely.

I haven't seen any KTD signs at Selfridge on LSC(Anchor Bay). I'm usually lanching out of there 2-3 times a week to fish. I always make a note to check but haven't seen any. ???

I think there are 2 of them there. 1 for sure. Right by the big sign that says how to launch or load. By the untying area.

In case the powers-that-be missed my post elsewhere, the tree our KTD sign was mounted on at Thornapple is gone, as is the KTD sign. We need to replace it.

I'll also be re-posting our KTD sign at Ovid as soon as the launch renovations are complete, and there's something permanent to post it on.
