That is why I asked if anything could be done to get them introduced. I had already read this response.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't tiger musky really struggle in the lower fish creek thus resulting in very few fish making it further down than a mile or two. Have any studies shown tiger musky to do well living in rivers? I have only caught a few tiger trout in the river and most of those were in the first mile and a half. If tiger trout struggle to thrive in te first 2 miles of river, I have a hard time believing many musky would get down to the price river, let alone do well and thrive.
In the other lakes you rarely hear about many musky living in the rivers. Sure some escape and travel the river to grow big in the next reservoir. But I haven't heard if big musky being caught in the rivers. They just use the river on occasion to get to the next big water. And the lower price river goes down to a trickle for a late portion of the year.
It would also seem that mandatory catch and kill on the river could be placed and maybe some sort of change to the dam outlet to prevent musky from getting down.
It really seems that musky would be the best option for scofield.
