I was wondering when this issue would get out into the public...this bug has me worried too, but my bet is that the DWR figures something out soon--they are already working on a warm-water hatchery. The popularity of the tiger musky has really grown; I know the DWR would like to continue using them. Because we have wild populations of pike in the state, we don't have to go far to get a brood stock of pike...to make muskies, all we would have to do is purchase some disease-free fish from another state and keep some in the hatchery as brood stock for eggs and milt. I don't think this issue will last too long.
