does anyone have the facts why muskies stocked do not have a re-occuring spawn.

It has more to do with the water they are stocked in. Natural reproduction does not take place because the environment is not suitable for egg and fry survival. The fish may go through the motions but if the habitate is not right, there will be nothing to hatch.

I'm not sure I understand the question? There are lakes where muskies were introduced (stocked) and successful spawning takes place...
