Fishers in East Tennessee have long been used to world-class trout and bass fisheries. These days, they are learning how to catch musky, too.

Muskellunges are native to Tennessee but are found in only a few rivers, mostly on the Cumberland Plateau. Six years ago, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency stocked 5,000 musky from Pennsylvania in an attempt to jump-start a new fishery on Melton Hill.

Melton Hill Call it a success.
