Tom Bakk, D-Cook, the previous Senate majority leader. It calls for muskie-stocking prohibitions, liberal harvest of muskies and a new muskie study.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">Here’s what Ingebrigtsen’s bill proposes:</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">• Stop DNR from introducing muskies to waters not previously stocked with the fish. Any savings realized from the ban must be used for walleye stocking.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">• Force DNR to drop its statewide, 54-inch minimum size limit for keeping a muskie. On “nonmuskellunge’’ waters, anglers could keep any muskie 20 inches or longer. The term “nonmuskellunge” applies to waters where “muskellunge are not indigenous’’ or where they are stocked by the DNR.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'"> • Allow spearing of muskies on “nonmuskellunge’’ waters.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">• Empower counties to dictate what species of fish the DNR can stock within county boundaries.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'"></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">• Impose a five-year moratorium on the DNR against stocking muskies anywhere in Otter Tail County.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">• The DNR must convene a stakeholder group “to examine the effect of muskellunge’’ and spend $50,000 on a related study.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333123"><span style="font-family: 'Cambria'">The legislation is friendly to an anti-muskie movement in Otter Tail County, one of the places where muskie fishing first took hold in Minnesota in the 1960s. Two years ago, county residents successfully campaigned to place Otter Tail County off limits to the DNR’s once-ambitious muskie stocking expansion plan.</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
