yeah- we discussed it in the last tiger muskie thread- the lake association at Woodridge purchases the muskies and stocks them- so it really has nothing to do with the state or DEP - although the DEP should be encouraged by their success, do a little studying and hopefully implement a muskie plan at a public lake like Lillinonah or Zoar - I think muskies would really take there- the pike seem to be pretty healthy there- plenty of acreage, structure, forage, depth, spawning habitat, etc - and with the pollution in the whole housatonic system- a muskie is more of a Catch and Release game fish anyway- sure seems like a perfect fit to me (did I mention I am slightly biased? )
Fishing is way too important to take so seriously...
