\nResources (rev. 8/21/2018)  \nPreface  \nThis booklet is intended as an angler’s reference to Wisconsin’s muskellunge waters. It provides essential attributes of these waters, including approximate location, access type, size (acres or miles), and classification.  \nThis booklet would not be possible without the substantial contributions of all the dedicated WDNR fisheries biologists and technicians throughout the state. Their knowledge of these waters is the basis for this guide. It is a revision of WDNR publication PUBL-RS-919-96, edited by Terry Margenau, Dennis Scholl, and Melinda Carr, which was updated during the summer of 1995 and released as a publication of the Bureau of Research in 1996. In its original form, this booklet was produced in as early as 1968 (Publication 237-68; and perhaps even earlier) as a publication of the WDNR Fisheries Management program. It was revised and released sporadically from approximately 1973 through 1982 as Fisheries Management publication 1-3600. This 2018 internet version contains minor revisions (shown in bold) to the 2012 paper edition.  \nThe printing of this booklet was made possible , in part, through the generous financial support of the Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin, along with its individual member-clubs. Funding was also provided by the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program.  \nThis information is also on [the internet at](the internet at dnr.wi.gov/topic/fishing/musky/.

It was so highly valued that the Wisconsin Legislature proclaimed it the official state fish in 1955. Arguably, more world record muskies have been landed in Wisconsin than anywhere else in North America. The current state and world record is a nearly unbelievable 69 pound, 11 ounce fish taken from the Chippewa Flowage, Sawyer County.
