D&R Canal is stocked with muskies... for instance, in 2013 it received 35 tigers averaging 20.9" in length.

In 2012 it received 150 true strain averaging 8.7" and 26 tigers averaging 27.2".

If you look back you'll see some in prior years too.

Congrats on your first muskie... it's can be addicting...
