ABOUT US:
The members of Muskies Inc. are known as America’s most conservation conscious anglers and for good reason. We are the first fishing organization to actively promote catch and release. We are also heavily involved in stocking, habitat preservation and habitat construction.
The Capital City Chapter is proud to be a large part of this organization. Working hand-in-hand with the state Department of Natural Resources and other local fishing organizations, we have made the Madison area lakes into a world-class muskie fishery. Over the past three years, CCMI members caught and released over 600 muskies in the Madison area alone!
Members can register their releases in our annual Release Contest. Witnessed releases over 45 inches can be entered in our Reproduction Contest where some lucky member is going to win a graphite reproduction of his or her personal trophy. See contest information and forms Click here.
Member services include a monthly newsletter that is second to none complete with contest updates and information on local outings and club-organized trips. Request a copy of our newsletter electronically! Send an email to Gerard at gerardh@charter.net. Monthly meetings notes are available upon request.
So take a look around our website. If you’re interested in becoming a member, fill out the form and send it in - we’d love to have you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
History
Muskies, Inc. was founded in 1966 by Gil Hamm, a 62-year-old building contractor from St Paul, Minnesota. Today, MI boasts nearly 7,000 members from forty U.S. states and three Canadian provinces.
CCMI was founded by three muskie hunters, Bill Wood, Gil Nimm, and Steve Budnik, in February 1983 and has since grown to over 400 members. Over 1,900 muskies have been caught and released by our members in the last three years with many of them being 50 inches or greater!
Want to catch BIG FISH? Muskie, Inc. and the Capital City Chapter can help. See you at the next meeting!
