Just reaching out to see how winter kills are shaping up. Down here near Sioux Falls one of our 5 stocked musky lakes had a kill, but mostly rough fish. Lake Shetek in MN got smoked along with a few others. I am wondering if there are any others that impact musky fishing this coming season. State irrelevant, feel free to chime in.

In Northern Wisconsin and in the U.P. a lot of pot hole Lakes deal with winter kill almost every winter. (Kind of a fact of life)

We get some winter kills. Each year it’s different. Not sure on how much it impacts Muskie fishing if any.
