If you care about our wild Muskies and the world-class fisheries we have here in Canada, you should become a member. Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what the worlds top Muskie experts think:
“Muskies Canada… there is no other organization like them. It is probably the greatest fishing organization from a conservation and from a learning perspective that I have ever seen. If you’re not a member of Muskies Canada… and you’re a Muskie angler, you’re making a huge mistake.”
From Gord Pyzer, Feb 14, 2021, in a session on Muskie Sunday, Spring Fishing and Boat Show.

10. Support for better management and regulations
Muskies Canada works directly with Ministries that decide about Muskie fishery management. We have representatives on almost all of the key fishery management zones (FMZ Councils) in Ontario as well as close working relationships with Ministry managers in Québec and New Brunswick. We work collectively to ensure that our fisheries are managed with the best available research, often from projects that Muskies Canada has helped fund and support with club participation. We make sure that the angler perspective is always included in Muskie management decisions. Join if you think that’s important.
“ If Muskies Canada… went away, the Muskie fishing as we know it today would certainly go away. I believe that anything we can do to support these organizations who are… behind the scenes working on all of our behalf to make Muskie fishing better across all of North America, is a huge thing. “
