About US
Uniting all muskie fishing interests for the promotion and protection of a high quality muskellunge sport fishery in the United States and Canada.
<
Muskies, Inc. is an active, service-oriented, non-profit organization for men, women and children with the single focus of improving the sport of muskie fishing everywhere the fish are found. Founded in 1966 by Gil Hamm, the original group of thirteen avid muskie fisherman concentrated on continual improvement of the muskie resource through rearing and stocking efforts and sound conservation practices.
Today, departments of natural resources have realized the value of stocking muskies. There are thirty-seven of the lower forty-eight states with active muskie stocking programs.
Muskies, Inc. has expanded to over 7,500 members and 47 independent local chapters throughout the country. We have become a national voice of the protection of the muskie species.
