question I know there are incidental catches but would it be work the dnr to stock skies in the lower pools of the Mississippi? Just a thought for question and I feel that there is a high forage base with high protein potential..could execute to be a world class fishery……opinions anyone….we do know the muskies eat all the walleyes 
There was a thread on musky hunters site last year around this time started by Joe Bucher talking about this topic. If I rembmber he was leading a group that was trying to work with the MN and WI DNR to make it happen. It would give southern MN Muskie guys a closer option and take some presure off the metro on the weekends. I’d be for it as it could produce giants in as little as 10yrs.
Hope you guys have better luck than I’m having introducing flatheads to Mille Lacs and Winnie.
I hope nobody discovers them. I prefer to fish alone. Pigs there for sure.
just from what i have heard is that when the dnr stocked lake zumbro a few years back that most of those muskies ended up going over the dam and into the river below witch flows to the miss so i would have to think there is a few somwhere.
I’ve caught a few in other pools. Not enough that I would specifically pattern them. Most came as incidentals to bass fishing. Though regardless of which pool, they ran about the same size 36″-38″(ish) It had me wondering if at one time there was a stocking effort on multiple pools?
I’m for it. Consider it a preemptive strike against the marauding asian carp.
Pool 3 has more than a lot of people think it does, especially right down by Prescott…
We caught them in pool 5 this time of year. In that 5 to 8 lb range. Draggin jigs for eyes.
