How many more waters does the DNR intend to stock with muskies?
The DNR is nearing the goal of its long-range muskie and northern pike plan, which calls for up to eight new muskie waters by 2020. Last year, Itasca County’s Lake Pokegama was stocked with muskie. The current proposal would add another five lakes. If all five proposals move forward, the DNR will have stocked six of the ‘up to eight waters’ as identified in the plan.
