| I know in Indiana they won't because they can't control where the fish go . I'd love to see them stock the tippy river but doubt it will happen. There's a few skis in the river to be had though |

Location: oswego, il | while it would be cool if they did the return on investment would not be there. they would have to stock alot of fish to make it worthwhile. its largely unboatable for most boat owners.

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI | Quite a few of them in there already from going over the dam(s). You hear of a few being caught, but most catches are kept quiet. |

| da fox riv is stocked by the fox chain a lakes, lake holiday, and shabbona. if people keep fishing big rock creek over and over again they will keep catching less fish than what is possible and keep catching the same 30 to 37 inch muskellunge over and over again. |

Location: Dixon, IL | Years ago, I asked IDNR about stock muskies into Fox and even Rock River but told me that they don't want 10 to 12 dollars fish swim away. Muskie might swim all the way into Illinois River down to Alton. Most muskie in the Fox River came from Fox Chain O lakes and most lower Fox might from Shabbona, other lakes and maybe few from Fox Chains. I know few out there but I keep quite! |
