Hi John we must be careful when utilizing the word "Strain", My understanding is strains evolved from isolation during glacier receding,which I am not aware this has been identified in muskellunge.
Ex Lake trout
http://www.fishfactor.tv/documents/Lake%20Trout-Truite%20Grise/Lake%20trout%20strains.pdf
I know Bernard Lebeau advanced riverine and lacustrine ,but some biologist advance Northern Muskellunge versus Great Lakes muskellunge
Much has still to be learned,many geneticist are hard at work from NY /ONT/QC/MI/ MN and WI to unravel the origins of NA populations and if stocking/introduction has led to dilution and what factors have aided or not dilution if it has occurred
Here is some important notes and study on DNA and muskies
"Understanding the historical distribution and contemporary genetic spatial
structure of Muskellunge will help resource managers conserve the genetic resources of this important species.
Koppelman and Philipp (1986) stated that stocking Muskellunge into an established population may reduce fitness by irre-versibly disrupting locally adapted gene complexes. This warning is repeatedly echoed in the fisheries literature (Crossman
1984; Reisenbichler and Rubin 1999; Miller and Kapuscinski
2003; Jennings et al. 2010). If one assumes that observations
of neutral (microsatellite) genetic diversity and spatial structure
are indicative of adaptive variation in the genome, even at a
remedial level, then our results strongly support these warnings"

Raf ,biodiversity (abundance of various species and abundance of species to predate upon) has more impact on growth than depth of water among many other factors such as genetics ,some great big fish come very small puddles.

Good to see you guys following up on this Tom, John Crocksbury (Might be miss spelled) brought his up some years ago about crow.
I agree with you ,introducing a Foreign Family that has not evolved in the same environment might not be whats best. Might create further imbalance within the ecosystem.
Evolution is by far the best adaptation tool,although a lengthy process, we can have confidence that Ma Nature will evolve and assure survival of the populations. Muskie by their very nature are very adaptive, a time process will have to be observed and allow evolutionary adaptation to occur.
Possibly a dip in population but the recovery will be much stronger and allow surviving YOY to evolve with the presence of a secondary apex predator.
Genetic study and maintaining genetic structure is the future of fisheries management.
To this day many geneticist are trying to elaborate if past stocking/introductions of foreign families have diluted originals populations or not.
Its probably more prudent to maintain same genetic family structures and allow evolution to take over and rebuild more durable ,evolutionary coexisting populations -
Wait a min., I got a knock at my door "It's Jack."
As long as its not someone from Wall Mart trying to sell you a Personality ..... Your fine

Fish Farmer,that ones been around the block,
Must have known it was gonna win its supreme court case hahahahaha

I think ROY has him beat
Ya i agree
I'd really like to know Roy's take on Hermaphrodite FISH

All I can tell you Joey, is that it looks a lot better than the last meal I had a Marc's!
The day Dan had a terrible musky fishing accident, but no point wasting any meat! lol
I'd say Dan over did the muskie ribs hahahahaha
-
That is some of the best looking smoked muskie I have seen in a while.
Art
Wrapped in Bacon Art,best Filet around ,with a hint of fish crisp lol
Joey has it right Mary's little Lamb ,Beef and Pork

By Tomorrow Wayne
Love my meats , this time of year love using my smoker
Drifter, ya Pouding or Pudding lol
But hey Pound that meat down

interesting thread
somedays I ask myself why I even do this to myself
The flurry of emotions that we go through in a year,during good fishing ....its glidding or sledding along,
when tough...you stay motivited and motivate everyone in the boat ,when in reality your down right crabby inside and say to yourself" The next one I catch,I am cooking it" , till you catch one then its all happy,happy happy again
its the way of life that kicks in,its what I wake to do
what we must all realize with over indulgence of fishing,we are in some way trying to undertsand,trick other living matter into eating artificial food!!!!!!! Beyond what we may think and conceive fish and living matter have their own schedule and may not over indulge as we human do
sometimes letting your eyes and ears abosrb the surroundings is where its truly at

Thing about it is our waste water management throughout North Amercia has not evolved to this sort of new polutants.We dampened chemical waste but did not anticipate pharmaceutical.
Only way to counter this form of waste management is Ozone treatment of waste water,every major city throught North Amercia needs to implement such systems.
We know more than we did in the past but far less than the futur

Here some info and good read of new polutants

Ya been a pretty good year,not sure I always know where they live
But they sure do find me,dont mind them catching meHave not had time to post,Life kinda catches up to you,kids grown,mocing into houses and getting their lives going.
Lots know how that goes
Drop by every so often and look at post,monster caught from Nip I saw,Gorilla is my thought

Nice video,love Chapleau have family thre and spent several summers when I was young

Actually Honey is one of the few products that remain all natural
Its a natural occurring sugar.
Most beekeepers prefer white or light honey which is derived from clovers,apple trees or blueberries in most cases
Light honey tends to not crystallize as fast as dark honey
Light honey is easier and seems to be more visually appreciated in commercialization
Dark honey in most case is far more richer and tastier ,but its richness tends to lead to crystallization faster
Most dark honeys are derived for buckwheat
Not much you can do to prevent crystallization -
Wow,tks God its web page views!!!!!
If it were paper work....... TJ you'd still be counting
kudos to you all

Love the variation in colors

Walleyes and saugers from May to June
Muskies from June to NovGreat sauger/walleye action in may and june 40 to 80 fish days are not un common
Slot size applies to walleye 37 cm to 53 cm (14 1/2 inch to 20 1/14 inches)
Muskies are the most mesmerizing species swimming in North American waters today. With intrigue come obsessive compulsive tendencies. The fascination with the targeted angling species lies in both the evolution of this mythical species and in the ability to blend and experience nature in its most solitude state.
*Transport Canada certifications and conformities
Includes guiding, lodging, and meals.
1 day,3 day and 5 day trips
What we seek is to provide the experience of a life time within the excitement of the moment.

I lost two wieners what is this world coming to selling packs of 10 hotdogs
Mike ,there goes the neighbourhood

jaqcues Paul did use frozen dead minnows
Worms or dead bait did not make a diffrence on that day
Tks for the explanation
As for dead baiting or idling bait on your tip ups,after last weeknd,It does not surprise me
Paul had some set up same way and got some action
Dax, Frabill has been in invloved with my services,my muskie research projects and my educational web show FishFactor.TV along with any others for many years
