There are many species of game fish, and
here you can read a little bit about some of the most popular
species for recreational fishing. This information is provided
by the Recreational
Boating and Fishing Foundation. We encourage you to visit their website
for even more extensive information regarding your catch!

Muskellunge (Musky): This is a very popular game fish, and many anglers dedicate themselves almost exclusively to its pursuit. The musky is very elusive, and is not a common catch, even for those who continually seek it out. It is endemic to the northeastern United States, throughout the area of the Great Lakes south to Georgia, and north to Quebec (St. Lawrence Seaway) and Ontario in Canada. It has been introduced into Manitoba west of Lake Winnipeg. It rarely ventures far from cover, and prefers shallow, heavily vegetated waters less than 40 ft. (12 m) deep, usually along rocky shorelines in slow moving streams and larger rivers.
