The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says late fall is the perfect time to fish for muskie, as the fish are feeding aggressively and expanding their range.

DNR tracking shows muskie are more widespread now than any other season.

The DNR recently stocked over 22,000 muskie across 10 bodies of water, including Brookville, Tippecanoe, and Barbee Lakes.

Biologists advise anglers to use large lures and target remaining weed beds for a chance to land a trophy-sized fish.
