NOTES: During all Heartland sponsored on the water events, members carry PIT readers to gather specific research information on individual muskies caught. This data is provided to our Fisheries team to assist with research relating to muskie fisheries management.
Proceeds from our annual "Stan Harrison Memorial Spring Tune-Up" muskie tournament fundraiser & our fall muskie tournament fundraiser support our youth, fisheries & research activities.
