Conservation Corner:
Learn about the efforts to support muskie stocking in Tennessee and how you can help from Daniel Moscon:
"TN MUSKY NEED SOME HELP.
If you have a minute to spare today I’m urging you to send an email to [email protected].
Our bureaucrats at TWRA have decided to severely limit the amount of musky they are stocking. Resulting in fewer fish seen and caught. We have very limited amount of natural reproduction and it is not enough to sustain our fishery. A short email goes a long way in showing the interest they need to see to bring our stocking numbers back up.
On a separate but related note, a Muskies Inc. chapter is in its infant stages of being formed. Muskies Inc. is a 501-C3. Any and all proceeds go to one thing, stocking musky in the bodies of water that need it the most.
Conservation and education will be the goal. If you would like to join, you first need a Muskies Inc. membership and then the affiliation will go with our Chapter after it is officially accepted. We can’t do it alone. Reach out to me or Cody Daniels for more info."

Get the latest on the Minnesota opener and the Professional Musky Tournament Trail in Madison.
