Muskeys in the Spanish River by Jamie Taylor An area of concern for many years, A place for muskey until the 1950's. Now a place for muskey once more, To spawn and eat and be fished some more. The muskey are being reintroduced into this river, To eat zooplankton, Then minnows, Then finally fish. The chemicals and wood chips are gone, So muskeys in the Spanish River can live on.

Muskies, We’re Your Friends By Mary-Anne Diebel Sacred Heart School, Espanola Grade 5 Muskies welcome back! We’ve missed you so. Swim in the Spanish, And don’t ever go. The kings have returned. Let them swim to their thrones. They shall be honoured And very well known. Restoration of the Muskeyes Poem By Jessica Arnold, Age 13 Massey Public School May 21, 1999 Back in the 1940's, the muskeyes disappeared. All of the fishers and scientists thought this very weird. They discovered the water was dangerous, the fish were getting sick. They tested the water and realized chemicals were doing this nasty trick. They waited for the muskeye to return, but they never came back. So they baited them with fish food, lured them with a snack. Now muskeyes are needed, and they’re need for many different things. They eat up small dangerous fish and make dinners fit for kings. The muskeyes never returned, now what can be done? We can put muskeye back into the river, muskeye by the ton! Let’s bring out them muskeyes, muskeyes now as long as a foot. Then we’ll dump ‘em muskeyes in the river and hope they stay put! Well that’s a great idea, now how do I do my part? If you catch a muskeye throw ‘em back in the river, cause that’s a good start!
