Muskellunge - Minnesota DNR
One of the largest and most elusive fish that swims in Minnesota, this apex aquatic predator is known as the "fish of 10,000 casts." Muskies may indeed be elusive. But it is their low numbers in a lake – not craftiness – that makes them hard to catch. That's true in waters where they naturally occur and where DNR stocks them.
Muskellunge waters comprise 2.3% of the total number of waters and 21.0% of the total surface acres managed for fishing. Of the 99 waters, 88 are managed with pure-strain Muskellunge, and 11 in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area are managed with hybrid Muskellunge.
