I was up at Jordanelle yesterday and was surprised to see a couple of DWR stocking trucks at the ramp. They were there stocking Tiger Muskies. Lots of them. Seems they had one of the moist successful years ever and after stocking what Utah wanted, giving and trading to other states there were still a mess left over that they had to get out of the hatchery ponds.
They said the crowding they experience at hatcheries, combined with the warm weather and the fact that these were twice the size of normally stocked Muskies that these were eating them out of house and home.
So, time to make it on their own.
The DWR people said 10,000 fish about 7.5 inches long were put in yesterday. They were all over the shorelines, being carefully placed in prime spots by the several boats they had working.
I don't know what the growth rate will be, or survival, but I look forward to having another close place to target the monsters they can become. Someplace my state parks pass is accepted.
