Muskies are stocked by the Division of Wildlife at nine locations statewide .
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife is stocking nearly 20,000 muskies in nine inland lakes across the state in 2024 . Muskies can grow to more than 50 inches in length and are a popular sport fish for anglers .
The Division of Wildlife raises muskellunge at the Kincaid and London state fish hatcheries . The hatcheries stock 10- to 12-inch muskies in nine lakes each fall . Muskies are a predatory sport fish that grow quickly and create trophy fishing opportunities in Alum Creek Lake , C . J . Brown Reservoir , Caesar Creek Lake , Clearfork Reservoir , Lake Milton , Leesville Lake , Piedmont Lake , Salt Fork Lake and West Branch Reservoir . In addition to reservoirs where they are stocked , muskellunge are caught in many of Ohio ’ s river systems .
Trophy muskellunge have been documented across the nine stocking locations . The Division of Wildlife created the Muskie Angler Log to gather public reports of muskie catches and use that information to better manage the fishery . Muskies longer than 40 inches have been recorded in each of the nine stocked lakes , and seven of those lakes have hosted muskies longer than 50 inches . Ohio ’ s state-record muskie , weighing 55.1 pounds and measuring 50.25 inches long , was caught in Piedmont Lake in 1972 . Ohio record fish , tracked by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio , are determined based on weight only .
Anglers who catch a muskellunge measuring 40 inches or longer are eligible to receive a Fish Ohio award . The Fish Ohio program annually recognizes thousands of anglers who catch one of 25 species of sport fish of a qualifying length . Since 1976 the program has awarded a Fish Ohio pin to any angler who qualifies .
The top 10 waters in which anglers caught Fish Ohio muskies in 2023 were as follows : West Branch Reservoir , 102 Fish Ohio entries ; Leesville Lake , 48 ; Piedmont Lake , 42 ; Alum Creek Lake , 24 ; Salt Fork Lake , 18 ; Caesar Creek Lake , 17 ; Mahoning River ,
