Thanks for the information. The article also included this little gem:
""It took some searching, but we found muskies in South Dakota that don't have any diseases," says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR.
"We'll bring the muskies to Utah in mid-October and start raising them at a new hatchery in Salt Lake City. Then we'll bring Northern pike from Recapture Reservoir to the hatchery and breed the pike with the muskies.
"We could be stocking tiger muskies again in two to three years," Cushing says. "Until then, the closures at Pineview and Newton will keep plenty of big tiger muskies in those waters for anglers to catch and release.""
