Shabbona Lake muskie rescue 5/3/2011

The first muskie rescue of 2011 is scheduled to take place tomorrow. Clint Sands and I drove down to the lower creek barrier tonight to take a look at some muskies that were attempting to swim up the creek. when we got here we saw the two fish. They look like they were a little displeased with the barrier fence that was blocking their progress.

Clint quickly donned his waders, grabbed his muskie net and jumped in the creek and bagan stalking the muskie. He had that muskie in his net in no time and quickly released it upstream of the barrier fence so we can net it out tomorrow and release it back into the lake.

We spotted 3 more muskies on our way back up the creek. Sands thinks that the creek is full of muskies and that we are going to have a very sucessful rescue tomorrow.

If you would like to participate in the muskie rescue, please meet the guys around 5:15 pm at the park office. Bring your waders and large coolers.
