Does anyone know the price difference to raise Muskies compared to other species in a hatchery? I have heard anywhere from 9-15 dollars per fish. I'm sure this is different with fry versus fish in the 10-12 inch range. That would be some helpful information also. I appreciate any input any of you can provide. Thank you.

Location: Greenfield, WI		You may want to contact the Milwaukee Chapter of Muskies Inc who has been raising muskies from fry nearly every year for the past 20+. They should have those records readily available. The likely biggest variable is the success rate from year to year will vary.
