Minnesota DNR Releases Long-Range Muskie-Northern Management Plan

The Department of Natural Resources recently announced the finalization and adoption of its Long Range Plan for Muskellunge and Large Northern Pike through 2020. The plan sets the stage for working with stakeholders to improve angling opportunities in Minnesota.

Minnesota DNRManaging recreational fisheries is an evolving and dynamic process, based on the best available science, and public perceptions and desires. Finding the right balance among public interests is part of that challenge. While the plan lays out some broad goals and directions, there is much work yet to do, including continued monitoring and evaluation of our fisheries, communicating with interested stakeholders, and seeking public input for future management actions. As the DNR moves ahead to implement the strategies and actions in long range plan, they are firmly committed to involve the public in the decision making process.

With the plan complete, the DNR decided to move ahead with the proposal to stock muskellunge in Pokegama Lake but not Gull Lake; they will instead look for other opportunities in the Brainerd area. It is anticipated that stocking will take place in Pokegama this fall. While both lakes have the physical and biological characteristics to support a “trophy” muskellunge fishery, there was significant strong public opposition to the Gull Lake proposal.
