Friday, 26 September, 2025

In part 2 of our discussion with Fisheries Technician Erin Wilson, we turn our attention to the science of muskies and muskie ecology. Erin delves into the whys and hows of collecting data and provides fascinating insights as to how she uses not only technology to learn about these fish, but also how she draws upon the community of anglers itself to provide critical data on this elusive species. An insightful and interesting talk on the science of muskies is the result. Topics include: - Casting and breaking down spots - Equipment setup- Using livescope- Erin's undergraduate - talking to muskie anglers for research- The individualism of muskies- Telemetry and other technological data collection efforts
