Do the muskies stocked in Silver and Newman Lakes spawn? I read an article that said planted skis do not spawn. Just curious if anyone has info on this. Thanks

Tiger Muskies stocked by the WDFW are supposed to be sterile. I don't think that the State has as yet planted non-sterile muskellunge for broodstock purposes. I'm sure a chapter 57 member can correct me if I'm wrong.

Muskys can breed
Pike can breed

TIGER MUSKY, a hybrid of the two, are steril.

So Ive been told.

This is very correct. They do on occation stage for a pre-spawn act, but the CANNOT spawn, and they produce no eggs or milt.
