The vegetation where some of the muskies were found.
Ball State University is researching the movements and habitat selections of juvenile muskies in Eagle Creek Reservoir. There are a total of 40 individual muskies with surgically implanted radio tags currently being tracked. Tracking will be done weekly during the spring, summer, and fall months of 2014. Feel free to post comments and/or questions.

June Update
The muskies have been in the same locations in the northern half of the reservoir for the past month. When I tracked by the White River earlier in the month, I was unable to pick up any of them. The same 11 individuals are still being tracked. When small patches of vegetation started to emerge some of the muskies were found in them. They are still mostly being found around floating logs. The muskies are now in around 4 to 5 feet of water because of warmer water temperatures. The surface water temperature was 79 degrees Fahrenheit last week. I will be tracking tomorrow during the day and night in order to see if there are any differences in there movements at different times of the day.
