Michigan DNR asks for help from anglers to best manage muskies in state waters

Michigan’s statewide muskellunge possession season begins June 3, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking the public to participate in the muskellunge angler survey to help biologists obtain valuable data on this important sport fish.
“Muskellunge are difficult to survey, so biologists are dependent upon information provided by anglers to help us manage this species, said DNR fisheries biologist Neal Godby in Gaylord.  “Angler survey reports give us insight into the relative abundance of muskellunge in a waterbody, size structure of the population, and whether the muskellunge in that waterbody are creating a fishery.”
