Share Your Thoughts on The Minnesota Muskie Plan Draft
We’re inviting you to share your thoughts on a draft update of Minnesota’s long-range plan for muskellunge.
The plan will be used to guide muskie management for the next 15 years. It includes management goals, objectives and strategies centered on improving existing muskie populations, shifting approaches in the production of muskies to be stocked, continuing hybrid (tiger) muskellunge management in the metro area, and broadening research and education efforts. Although there was interest in adding new waters to the statewide muskie stocking program, public input focused on first improving existing lakes, especially the key muskie fisheries of Mille Lacs Lake, Lake Vermilion and Lake Minnetonka.
You can find a digital copy of the draft plan on the DNR muskie page (dnr.state.mn.us/muskellunge) and you can submit comments by:
• Using the online survey available on the muskie page
• Emailing mnmuskieplan2025@state.mn.us
You can be among the first to get the latest info on where to go, what to use and how to use it!
• Writing to Kelly Wilder, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources – FAW, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155
The DNR is accepting comments on the draft plan update through Monday, June 30.
