Location: On the Niagara River in Buffalo, NY | The primary purpose for the NY M.I. Chapter 69 Chautauqua Musky Tournament is to raise funds for the Chuatauqua Bait Fish Fund.These Tourneys have been on going for 8 years now.Our goal is to purchase $3000 or more worth of Fathead Minnows for the NY State Muskie Stocking Program at Prendergast Hatchery.The Fathead Minnows are extra that are added to what the state purchases to feed the muskie fingerlings when they are moved outside to the ponds in late July.The extra Bait Fish assure extra growth for the muskie fingerlings,for a much better survival rate when stocked.Besides stocking NY state waters,some years excess muskie fingerlings get stocked in other states as well,New Hampshire recieved a few thousand last year.
Supporting the NY M.I. Chapter 69 Chautauqua Musky Tournament,means better muskie fishing through out the Northeast. |
