Muskies Thrive In Manitoba Nursery Waters
Muskellunge fingerlings planted in Manitoba last spring grew over a foot in five months in Beautiful Lake near the Duck Mountain area. Fisheries officials say the fish adapted well, prompting plans for more plantings as a potential nursery for transferring stock to other lakes. Brook trout and splake fingerlings also showed growth from one and a half inches to seven and eight inches after planting in northern lakes.

Researchers Norman Nahl and Olaf Haugen wrapped and reinforced the fragile ivory to prevent disintegration. This is Dahl's second tusk after an eight foot discovery in October 1951, and he previously found a 40 inch thigh bone linked to the same animal.
