Adopt A Muskie
Our chapter is launching the “Adopt A Musky” program to raise funds for the Lake Wissota Musky study. This is one of four studies in WI comparing Leech Lake and Bone Lake strains.
The Adopt A Muskie program allows you to adopt an individual musky. As information about each fish comes in, we will pass it along so you can track your adopted Musky.
Each fish can be adopted for $10. You will receive an Adoption Certificate and an “I adopted a future trophy” sticker.
To adopt your Musky and get more information, please contact:
