Muskie are New York’s largest freshwater game fish.
Their legendary ability to challenge and confound anglers and their massive size potential have often inspired anglers to forsake other fish for a chance to encounter the “fish of 10,000 casts.”
This year’s fishing season for these monsters opened (as it usually does) on third weekend in June. The season on most waterways closed Nov. 30. Exceptions include the St. Lawrence and Lower Niagara rivers and Lake Ontario, where the season ends Dec. 15.
