Adopt A Musky

Now you can adopt your own musky that was released into the Chippewa Flowage during the fall of either 2016 or 2019. The Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries teams and others, regularly sample/survey the Chippewa Flowage fish populations. Once muskies are captured by nets or electrofishing, the fish are scanned for PIT tags that may have been inserted into the fish on previous surveys or upon stocking. Other data is collected like sex and lengths. If adopted fish are recaptured, we will reach out to the adoptee with the collected information. Results are found below:

If your fish is among those captured, you can view its progress by looking up its PIT tag when we post it online each year. Learn more about Chippewa Flowage muskies.
