Perspective, Practice & The Future By Craig K. Sandell © 2006 By now, you have all had your computer screens filled with the logorrhea associated with the Chippewa Flowage Musky Study - Y1 (CFMS). Breaking with past practices of not promoting ‘for profit’ print publications, Muskie America feels that it is important to get past these hackneyed CFMS comments, and so, would like to encourage all of you to review Musky Hunter Magazine…It is our understanding that Steve Heiting put together an article on the CFMS issue that promises to embrace a thoughtful and journalist approach that will surely put the matter to bed. (If you are a member of Muskies, Inc., you can get a really good perspective of the Chippewa Flowage Musky Study (Y1 and Y-2) from an article that can be found in a back issue.) Regardless of any inconsistencies that may exist in the year 1 study, the year 2 findings related to the 100% mortality of gut and gullet hooked Muskies is not in dispute. The bottom line is that if you are using single hook sucker rigs, J Hook Or Circle, to catch Muskie, the fish that you release are ‘Dead Fish Swimming’. Whether you are running a Muskie guide business or you are fishing for your own adventure, the result is the same...single hook sucker rigs mean dead Muskies.
