Falleck and the Wisconsin DNR say there’s no evidence that the Muskie are reproducing naturally.
“With some of the contaminants that are in our lakes, they don’t allow the eggs to get fertilized,” he says. A DNR spokesperson says the agency suspects other factors.
“We don’t know if it is a lack of suitable habitat or the fact that the Madison lakes are so productive and full of other fish that can prey upon the Musky eggs and fry that limits reproduction, likely it is a combination of both factors,” says David Rowe with the DNR.
But, the Muskie jumping season is almost over, Falleck says.
