Location: Athens, Ohio | I dunno if you all read the Chapter Updates in Muskie magazine? WV Chapter 09 had a piece this issue about a muskie that was tagged at Ohia's Salt Fork Lake in 2014 when it was 10 inches long. It was caught in the Little Muskingum River on Aug. 28 this year, 35 inches long. ODNR estimates it traveled 150 river miles to get there, thought to be the longest verified movement of any Ohia muskie.
Pretty amazing. m |

Location: SE, WI. | It is Amazing, but happens more than you know. We tagged and stock musky from the MCMI, in pewaukee for years and have them show up in the Fox chain in IL. Probably a good 60 miles Downstream, which most musky tend to migrate .JD |

Location: Chisholm, MN | There was a case of a St. Louis River fish traveling all the way to Chequamegon Bay Superior. If they can go, they will. |

| At one of our MInc banquets recently, a Michigan DNR biologist was telling us about a tracking study he's doing on muskies in LSC. They tagged a male fish #007 (and so now they call him "James Bond") in the Spring, near the mouth of the Detroit R. at the S end of LSC. That year, they tracked James Bond down into Lake Erie, and all the way east to Buffalo, and then back to the mouth of the Detroit R the next Spring. That's gotta be over 500 mi round-trip.
