I've noticed lots of Muskie stocking over the past several years on the game and parks website… does anyone know of any good spots and or had any luck at all on Calamus???

Fished Calamus three days last fall pretty hard. Moved a couple fish in the mid thirties, caught several in the low 20's. Really seems like a guy could crankbait that lake with some success. There is enough "crankbait structure" that it could be good in spring.
All the fish we moved came to a Perka or Phantom.

I was looking for the place to report a muskie catch and saw this thread. I wasn't getting a bite on the west side of the dam at Calamus sunday, so I tried this walk trolling the kids are talking about on the internets

. I get about half way down the dam, got stuck on a "seam" on the soil cement and decided to turn around and give up. I thought I hit another "seam" until it kicked, it was about 3' of water and from a distance I thought it was a northern, but new it wasn't a walleye. I started reeling back to it and got to about 15' away when it rolled, no reddish fins and had the vertical stripes of a muskie! It was about 30" and when it rolled, cut my line. I did not think their were muskies in Calamus so I was shocked today when I looked at the stocking reports.
