‹ Muskellunge are native to Simcoe ‹ Commercial fishery for muskellunge in the late 1800’s ‹ Exceptional sport fishery in the early 1900’s ‹ Significant population decline by the 1930’s ‹ MNR stocked Kawartha strain muskellunge fry and fingerlings into Simcoe from 1936-1969 with little success ‹ “An attempt to restore the maskinonge fishery in under altered environmental conditions would constitute a worthwhile management research” (Macrimmon & Skobe, 1970) LossLoss ofof MuskellungeMuskellunge

2003 - Very odd adult muskellunge reported as incidental catch on Lake Simcoe - Most likely roaming/foraging adults from small Couchiching population MovingMoving ForwardForward TowardToward RestorationRestoration

• Surveyed 8 of the 20 historic sites for muskellunge habitat • Determined that 6 of the 8 habitats were good to excellent quality spawning and nursery habitats for muskellunge • Therefore sufficient habitat to further investigate feasibility Habitat Study (Cimbura & Buchanan, 2000) MovingMoving ForwardForward TowardToward RestorationRestoration

Feasibility study determined that: “the restoration of muskellunge to Lake Simcoe is a feasible fisheries management objective” Recommended: 1) Significantly reduce harvest through regulations 2) Must protect existing and rehabilitate degraded habitats 3) Restore the population through annual stocking events 4) Continue to monitor and assess progress and success
