Musky on Canal Lake?

[BallisticBass]

Anyone know if there still musky on Canal lake in the Kawarthas? Pike population has dropped significantly and i'm not sure if musky had the same issue. Haven't seen one there in years.

Extremely rare. I fish there pretty much 1-2x a month. Folks moved up there early 90s and, even though pike were present at the time, still had a fishable musky population then. Starting in the 2000s musky was in a steady decline, started getting into more tigers than pure strain. 2010s lake pike population started to decline as well. Now it’s mostly bass. If you tie into a ski it’s a rare occurrence.  Not to say it’s zero, but chances are low.
