Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Tiger Muskie

I�ve researched that quite a bit but can�t get a definitive answer. I believe it varies according to size with larger tiger Muskie needing cooler water than younger smaller tiger Muskie. From people I�ve talked to and according to State of Nebraska stocking plans pure strain Muskie tolerate warmer water than tiger. And I�m fairly certain there�s 0% chance you�d have to worry about reproduction. So that may be a better option. In fact it�s probably a better option for both of us. But I wanted to play around with TM for a few years before moving on to pure Muskie.

Side note: I did have a northern pike, the least warm water tolerant of the 3, survive up to 37� in my 2/3 acre pond. That pond does have a deeper section than my large pond, but it does make me hopeful that tiger Muskie can survive.
