Wisconsin’s fish hatchery crews plan to stock 98% of their muskie quota in 2026 after receiving approval for supplemental 13.10 funding from the state’s Joint Finance Committee.
With this new funding, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said it now plans to stock 56,503 muskies in inland lakes. Earlier this year, Justine Hasz, the DNR’s fisheries director, said the agency would have to cut muskie stocking by 70%, from a planned 57,520 muskies to 17,000.

We are in the middle of another Game Fair, and if you’ve never been, you should go. This is true for all outdoors-minded folks, but especially so for anyone who has a love of bird dogs. Minnesota’s Game Fair is one-of-one when it comes to showcasing bird dogs, and is truly a spectacle.
While you’ll see more than enough Labrador retrievers to go around, you’ll also see obscure breeds, pointers of multiple flavors, and a handful of dog breeds that are more comfortable on the couch than they ever would be in a duck blind.

The New York Department of Conservation is planning to study walleyes in the Lower Niagara River, Irondequoit Bay, and Sodus Bay.
These Lake Ontario waters are stocked, but it’s difficult to determine the contribution of wild versus stocked walleyes to the fishable population. Therefore, DEC is utilizing otolith microchemistry to analyze at least 100 walleyes from each water to determine stocked or wild origin.
“We are asking anglers who are catching walleyes to be a part of this important study,” Brad Hammers, fishery manager for DEC, said.
