The muskellunge (Esox masquinongy immaculatus) is the most spectacular large game fish found in Wisconsin. Artificial propagation is one method used in an attempt to augment existing lake populations. Some of the findings from studies conducted during 1953 through 1957 coupled with the best of past practices have been applied at the Spooner and Woodruff hatcheries to formulate improved cultural procedures.
